Station Model Pictograms and TrueType font

When I download data, and use the station model plots in NMC/NCEP raster, I get the cloud type pictograms. However, when I use the same data, and use Truetype font, I do no get the cloud type, pressure tendency pictogram.

However if you wanted to plot surface numerical temperature values (in degrees Fahrenheit), I would think that the following command would do it: 'product,tmf,0' Howe...
