I found free font on some web site with this clipart as dingbat, but then my computer broke and my hard disk erased all my data. So i tried to find that font again, nut only thing I found is font called KR Rachel's Elephants. It contains this elephant, but it has too low resolution... And the font i used to have, had the same picture of elephant but with much more details and better resolution. The clipart picture is in attachment. I hope anyone could help me find this font or have more detailed picture.... Thx :D

Where does the term “pi fonts” come from? And who was the first to use or popularize it?

I always assumed it was an odd abbreviation of “pictogram”, but it was never clear because the term is sometimes used to describe any non-alphanumeric/symbol font. If pi does indeed stand for pictogram, that would limit its relevance to a specific subset of symbol fonts – for example, mathematical symbols aren't pictograms.

That doesn't really match up with the kinds of fonts I typically think of when I hear the term “pi” either, which tend to be be more technical and abstract than they are pictorial. Maybe there's a connection to the mathematical concept of pi?

Ignore this post if you’re reading it on a Mac.

Either I was installing it wrong previously, or Microsoft fixed it in 1.4, and I was using 1.3, but finally I got Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator to install and run in Windows 7, and I used it to build a custom German/English “typographer’s keyboard” layout. (My physical keyboard has a standard German layout.) This enabled me to add a bunch of extra punctuation and some archaic stuff such as ſ.

I also managed to add two dingbats from the Unicode Zapf Dingbats subset range, U+2766 and U+2767.

If you can see those, you are seeing them in pure Unicode. Windows is switching fonts somewhere to display them.

Once upon a time, I came across a brilliant dingbat "alphabet"--all images of what I'd describe as creatures, critters, or monsters.

Examples of vaguely similar monsters:

• Nibbler on Futurama
• The vermicious knids from Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator.
• The "Infiltration" monsters shown on this deviantART page.

Most notably I remember a cute one-eyed squid that I incorporated into my sigblock. But that was 10 years and 3 companies ago and any details beyond that are lost.

I am working on a manual, book size body type and I have a lot of bullet lists that I am currently using round bullets or dashes for, to indicate a new item. Are there any alternative typographic devices?

Hello, I remember seeing wedding invitation that use dingbats that actually spell out commonly used words like "the", "and" and others in a vintage style. Can somebody please recommend fonts that include those, or at least tell what the proper name for them is... thank you
