Dingbats Roundup: 16 Incredibly Detailed, Useful (and free) Dingbat Fonts
Now, before I start, not everyone is going to think these are all useful, so if you don’t ever use tree silhouettes, fine. But some of us do. Personally, I love dingbats because (most of the time) I convert them to vectors in Illustrator and use them as very large elements in some cases. All you have to do is use the font in Illustrator and then go to Type > Create Outlines, and Bam. You got yourself a vector to work with. Here are some dingbat fonts that I thought you might enjoy.
1. Geobats
3. Butterflies
7. Seeing Stars
9. WM Trees 1
10. SubiktoTwo
11. Rosegarden
12. Rose
13. Chicas y Mujeres
14. Subeve
15. Skull TS 2
16. We Inside

Man, the geobats are brilliant! Thanks for the heads up!
How strange… I think your site is definitely rubbing off on me. I wanted to update my vector library yesterday (18th Feb 08), so I headed off to dafont and got hold of a whole bunch of dingbats to convert… Wierd that your blog the next morning was about that exact same thing… Nicely done my goodman!i
:) good
Fantastic stuff. Thanks a bunch! I’ll put many of these to great use. I’ve been looking for map vectors as well, and here they are!

RIGHTEOUS!
To Paul Burgess: For cheaters eh? In which regard, may I ask? Cheating as it is a powerful tool, reducing time, saving everyone from manually create these vectors from photographies? Wait, photography is also cheating, why not paint instead? Oh wait, did you personally invent linen cloth and acryll colour? Bet not..
At the end of the day, we all use tools when unleashing our creativity. Wether one want to re-invent the wheel or not each time is up to each artist, I’d say.

I use dingbat fonts in Flash all the time, it helps keep the files small.
Very cool. Love the detail to these.
Well, i have to say i love you. i was just searching through all my 500 clipart cds for bird clipart. Got frustrated because i lost the index, go to digg.com for a breather, and see your post. Who would of ever thought of looking for a font containing them? Thanks!
I don’t see Arizona in the Geobats….NOT COOL!
You’re the best Mr.Box. Thanks for the vector goodies!!! yummmmmm.
At least several (if not all) of these are ONLY free for personal use. Total waste for a professional designer. Unless you’re using these for family newsletters, chances are you need to go find something somewhere else.
Now, a link to the site itself where one could search for TOTALLY free fonts would have been of great use. Here is the search link for all Dingbat fonts that are 100% FREE (and not just for personal use…)

[...] If you think that Dingbats can’t be useful, then you are looking at the wrong Dingbats. I think that most Graphic designers and web designers will find this to be a very incredible list of Dingbats. Dingbats can be a huge time saver as they are great to use for illustrations and silhouettes. I usually use them for buttons and small illustrations as well as for starter shapes for logo design. You can change the shape of the Dingbat by converting them to vectors in Illustrator, Photoshop, etc. Enjoy this list of the best Dingbat fonts. Read more here – 16 Best Dingbat Fonts for Download.
