ok... does anyone have a nice set of glyphs they'd like to share?
I'm looking for some glyph inspiration.
=)
I guess there is no such thing as 'Glypher' for osx?

Yes, you are correct in your understanding of the word.
the little symbols that are used on folders to describe what is in them.

I'm not sure that glyph is a commonly used word as such...
the nearest common use in english would be hieroglyphics.
