Webdings & Wingdings! - 9/9/2007 2:58:01
Webdings & Wingdings are such a great boon to ones graphics armoury and I'm wondering if there are more to be found, downloaded and installed. On my Vista PC I have webdings, wingdings, wingdings 2 and wingdings 3. I assume these came with Vista or maybe some have got installed through other apps (?) - anyhow, does anyone know of other collections that can be obtained?

Yes, I am with you. I just tried to do that in a vector program and it seems to work. However when enlarging a webding I got some jaggles. So maybe those webding fonts are not vector fonts?

what vector program? if you're using type (and not a bitmap) and /or converting it to paths then you can resize as much as you want without jaggies.

I use PSP but guess it works with others this way...
Open Word
insert symbol (webding of choice)
Copy
Open Graphics editor
Click on text tool
paste
In PSP at least, the webding then behaves like any other vector text.
I only recently sussed this when looking for a graphic to merge into logo.
Now - where do we get some more webdings & wingdings!?

O.K. Rick, I tried your PSP method in my Vector Program (Serif Draw Plus 8) and it worked. No jaggles now. Thanks for that tip. The trick is to paste into the text window.
