Going (Ding)Bat-ty

From here, kadyelle­bee: “fonty­ness” June 28, 2003, I wound up fol­low­ing a trail that led me to an incred­i­ble ding­bat and fleu­ron resource here: FontGarden Dingbats.

[example of symbol font]
Sample from FontGarden.com’s dingbats 

Most of the ding­bats are free­ware. A few are inex­pen­sive share­ware, post­card­ware, dona­tion­ware, or, in one case, toy­ware. As free­ware, they are almost all Windows TrueType, but if the out­lines are good, they should be pret­ty easy to con­vert to OpenType or Type 1 or to any Mac for­mat with FontLab.

There are some fan­tas­ti­cal­ly use­ful sym­bols and ding­bats in this col­lec­tion. Check out the Buttons & Dividers sec­tion especially.
