I want to make a theme that corresponds to the Windows 8 look (whatever MS is calling it this week). Since VLC allows embedding a font inside the theme, and since the WIndows 8 UI actually uses embedded Private Use symbols in Segoe UI Symbol to draw Windows 8 controls, I wanted to know if it is possible to designate the character at a specific point size as opposed to using bitmap graphics?

You can use svg or recreate it.

what is "svg"?

svg is a vector image format that describes images as lines, instead of simply telling the color of each block.

Basically it would be indistinguishable from a font.

Cool, got it. Thanks as well for the wiki link, that helped a lot. I can see where this would be very helpful for developing apps for mobile devices where speed and size are important.
