Finding your Dingbats

Bild
I love to use the dingbats in my designs because they are already made, spare me a lot of work. But it is hard to know what are hiding behind those letters... So I figured out that in NexusFont  I can browse them easely, and this is for PC users, for MAC I think you have a similar software already installed. Type in the hole alphabet in both uppercase and lowercase increase the size, I mostly use 22, so I can see the Dingbats Type in ding and there you have them. The dingbats that not have the word "dingbats" in their font name will not show up here. And I have some really nice dingbats like  MellowFonts1 and for those I just have to type the font name into the search box to browse them.
