Yo, If you could design your very own dingbat font, what special characters would you put in it? What doodads do want to be just a keystoke away? Symbols, glyphs, icons, pictographs, what? I've spent the last few months designing non-alphabetic fonts (bar codes), getting ready to do a set of Braille fonts and therefore have been think about symbols. I'm just curious about what collective images will arise from this open-ended inquiry. thanks, jwhiting cdp!jwhiting@arisia.xerox.com [DE3MIR]jwhiting 72627,746 please respond by email. thanks. who, me? i'd put in the international NO symbol (circle w/slash), a peace sign, the lion used by Rastas, a little map of Mother Africa, my signature and a lightening bolt.

Yoself!, Be sure to include good suit symbols (spades, hearts, diamonds & clubs) and a single character for the ten-spot would also be nice for bridge columnists. How about the one fingered salute? - Ed Rotberg -
