[SOLVED] Keyboard key symbols

Hi guys!

I'm teaching wise (I guess not-so-young too) people how to use computers for their daily affairs. I'd like to write down some "support lists" with shortcuts, procedures, etc. in order to help them. Do you guys know if there is any text editor (maybe even a font) able to represent key symbols? Something like...

/------\   /---\
| Ctrl | + | C | = Copy
\------/   \---/

Of course I could insert images, but I'm looking for something more [ctrl]+[c] oriented.

Thanks in advance.

there's the "Linux Biolinum Keyboard" font, but it probably doesn't have things like "Ctrl".
But really, it's not so hard to create and insert a few new characters, e.g. with fontforge.

Tyvm ondoho, that font is exactly what I was looking for (it even has ctrl, alt, tab, etc. symbols).
