Cristy: Dingbats are used in a lot of ways, some people use them to line a page or frame a page with a holiday graphics, for example. The square is because a dingbat is not assigned to that keyboard key. Hope this cures your curiosity cravings :-) cristy <poppy0206@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: Can someone tell me what do people use the fonts that do not look like letters for? And why they make the picture the first time you type a letter and then small boxes after that? I am collecting fonts and noticed some like that. And I feel like a dingbat, I think someone told me some of these are called dingbat? thanks, christy -- To unsub or change your email settings: //www.freelists.org/webpage/pctechtalk To access our Archives: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PCTechTalk/messages/ //www.freelists.org/archives/pctechtalk/ Don't assist the spammers!
