Where to find a dingbat of a flame?

April 7, 2004 9:25 AM

Looking for a dingbat. [m.i.]

I need to find a dingbat of a fire, preferably from a freeware font (Mac or Windows, doesn't matter.) I found two so far from one of my usual sources of freeware fonts

Here's one, third one down.
Third font down.
Also here about halfway down:
Font called Pyrobats.

But these are sort of too cartoon-y, and if possible I'd like to find one that looks more refined or delicate suitable for use in the running heads of a book at around 10 points. Any ideas?

Why not search for a bit o' clip art and use that/convert it in Fontographer or something? You'll find a lot more fire clip art than you will dingbats.

I'd do something like that if I could (if I had Fontographer) but I'm actually hunting for the fire dingbat for a friend at a Well Known Publishing Company who knew of my Google-fu skills. (Which are strong, but not en fuego.)

Found tons of dingbat sites, by doing a "similar sites" search from Google. Have you tried http://www.dingbatpages.com/ or http://www.coolarchive.com/fonts.cfm?parameter=Dingbats ?
