Hi All,

I've scoured around looking for a dingbat font that has the silhouette of a mouse, and have only found one but the original file is corrupt, I tried to dl it several times (arrgh!). Well actually, I've found several that I can buy, but I don't want to buy a font that I'm only going to use once for one single glyph (call me cheap).

fyi: it's for a science project for my daughter. Does anybody know where I can find such a beast?

Thanks in advance for any help,

Chas

if it's just for a school project, why not google to the rescue?

That's kind of you, and my thanks for looking.

I was looking for a postscript version 'cause we're working in Illustrator and I want the flexibility for resizing. I know I could trace a pixel-based image, but I was hoping to avoid that much work :-)

Thanks anyway,

Chas

If all you need is a silhouette of a mouse, drawing one in Illustrator shouldn't take that much time at all.

LOL, I did try, and I make a much better designer than illustrator! (thus my not-so shortcut :-)

Send me your email address (via private message) and I'll send you an EPS mouse.
