[MS Office] Harvey Balls for Traffic Lights / Status / Progress

Alastair Bor Sydney, Nsw, Australia

Having spent virtually my entire career in a role where I've needed to at some point concisely convey progress / status, I've settled on using Harvey Balls as the best way to pictographically do this.

The easiest-to-use implementation is via a font since you will always get a consistent pictogram without ever having to draw it. For the longest time there wasn't one available for free. Recently I bit the bullet and figured out how to make a font and have posted a free font here for anyone to use:

Hopefully this will help you make perfectly shaped traffic lights, etc. that survive being squished and squeezed when re-sized.
