Where to go from here?

Well, for city symbols it depends on what kind of symbol you want. For dots, squares and this sort of "common map symbol" I usually use the Wingding (they have those special characters instead of letters) fonts, which I downloaded from somewhere a long time ago, while following RobA's tutorial. Most of the fonts I use on my maps i get from dafont.com.

You can also find a lot of stuff on the Mapping Elements forum.

@Edit: apparently the wingding font comes with the windows, no need to download it, my mistake =/
