Using Font and Dingbat Typefaces on the Web

Dingbats
Dingbats, or "ornamental" fonts can be used to create icons, logos and other images. They are vector, which means they can be resized without loosing the quality of the shape. To view the characters, Windows users can use Character Map and Mac users can use Suitcase. The characters are very small in these applications, so try using the tool below to view and print dingbat characters large enough to see in detail.
