Hello, I’m looking for a symbol to put in a logic paper that I’m writing in MS Word. It is the vertical tilde. Tilde looks a little different in different fonts. I was looking for a symbol that looks very similar to the vertical version of the ‘~’ found in Times New Roman. At least one that is as tall when you tip it over. There is a vertical tilde available in MS Word, but it is very short. I’m looking for a taller symbol.
I was hoping someone could suggest a font which is open-source. Or just make that one symbol its own font since that would be really easy for someone who makes fonts.
Thanks for your time.
It looks the same rotating it either way...
Tu fais un tilde normal.
Tu le sélectionnes et tu vas dans Ruban Insertion > Icone Zone de texte > Dessiner une zone de texte
Tu sélectionnes la zone de texte crée et tu fais :
Ruban Outils de Zone de texte / Format > Icone Orientation du texte
Ruban Outils de Zone de texte / Format > Icone Habillage de texte > Aligné sur le texte
Ensuite tu fais quelques petits réglages pour que ça passe mieux comme minimiser les bordures
Clic droit sur le zone de texte > Format de zone de texte > Onglet Zone de texte > Marges intérieures
et dans l'onglet Couleurs et trait > Ligne > Couleur > Aucune couleur.
Et tu as un joli tilde verticale de n'importe quelle police que tu peux utiliser presque comme un caractère.
Thanks for your attempt to help. Unfortunately, my editor won't print that. I just need a symbol in MS Word. Presumably, this has to be done with a new font.
Get and install or
Flamingo EF or 'On your side'. These fonts have the characters 90 degrees rotated to allow for vertical text.
Now work with your font in MS Word. When you need that rotated tilde do insert symbol choose the font you installed with those rotated characters and click the tilde.
Alternate possibility, just type your text and use the regular tilde. When done search for ~ and change the font.

What I've explained is to do with MS Word.
