I'm not sure the proper forum to ask this but the Head-fi community seems like the place to ask. This relates to a portable audio device so I dropped it here:

I have a friend who is building a portable audio device. He's looking for a font that includes a headphone symbol. Anyone know of one?

Thanks.

Can't think of one at the moment, though I'm familiar with many, many fonts. If I can find the time, I'll try to research a bit tonite, if the answer hasn't yet been posted.

It's not difficult to create a custom font if you have vector art (postscript outlines) of a nice headphone icon, and not so tough to create an icon from a good photo of your favorite headphone.

Of course if someone knows such a font, I'd like to know, too!

Oh Mahhhhhddds. Move Please. Thanks![/size]

a shirt I made:

It's not included in the font...but I'm whoring it out, lol.

Webdings has one... character code 0xB2

Take a look at -- http://www.dafont.com/rock-star.font

You can see the webdings one here:

4th up from the bottom, 3rd in from the left

It looks a lot better when you make it bigger.

Thanks Philodox!

...and how the headphones character looks at 200 point size > Photoshop 300ppi jpeg — approx. 2"wx1.9"h

Wow, that site is awesome. I just donwloaded like 200 fonts. Thanks graphicism.

 

[philodox]

Woah, that's what I call bigger!

 

[Romanee]

That is the most remarkable fonts-for-personal-use collection/site I've ever seen! Very nice fonts indeed.

[size=medium]THANKS from me, too![/size]

And KUDOS to all those designers and typographers who created and made them available!

 

[Graphicism]

No problem, dafonts.com has been around over 10 years since I first needed some 'dingbats', acidfonts.com is another decent site.

 

[BillC]

Awesome. Thanks much everyone.
