Has anyone tried cutting dingbat fonts? I'm just wondering how it looked.

I do it all the time.Look really good and I've cut images as big as 24 inches.  I love Dingbats.

Absolutely, if you can find a dingbat that fits your needs then that is probably one of the cleanest images you will find most of the time.

I do a lot of Christmas signs... I could spend hours looking for an vectorizing just the right image...but I have 6 or 7 different dingbat Christmas fonts that cover everything I ever need,and usually several different choices of every item. I can do a simple Christmas Wreath,or a complicated one,depending on my mood,and a keystroke is all it takes.

My understanding of dingbat fonts are basically fonts that aren't letters - it's pictures/symbols/graphics. I've attached a sample font that is consider a dingbat font.

Dingbats rock! I used not to like dingbats and clip art, but now I know that they can be of great help. For original designs I like to vetorize myself, but for some kind of jobs they work great, plus they are a great complement to original designs :police:

Ok, I tried to download the dingbat fonts, the actually graphics ones, and couldn't get them to go into my folder on Sign Blazer,  do I need to unzip them and put them in my windows fonts folder and then will I see them in my sign blazer?  Does this even make any sense to anyone out there?  sorry to be so illerate with this stuff.
