Help: What are these called, and where can i find them?

[Sweetfeld28]

Ok, basically i am trying to recreate one of my old designs, and wanted to have some of those scripty looking things in the design. I am however, not able to find them anywhere do to the fact i do not know what they are called.

Does anyone know where i can download some, or if they are part of a Font? Here is a picture of what i am talking about:

They're usually known as (printer's) ornaments and yes, there are a quite a few collections out there. Have a rummage through Google.

Also known to be referred to by some as "dingbats".

More than likely, you've already got one set; Zapf Dingbats. Possibly more if you've ever landed free fonts with some Adobe application or other; Woodtype Ornaments 1 and 2.

Technically, dingbats are different, but I'm not going to argue the point. 🙂

Heh heh... That's why I used the discrete "referred to by some". I didn't want to let my type geek off his leash. 😀

If you already created them, why not create them again?

I did not create them. The ones in the OP pic is from a layout design i found on the web. The picture who just to give you an idea what i was trying to describe or was looking for.
