Free substitutes to corefonts and MS's dingbat fonts

Post by DevScholar »

I added a list of free alternatives to the Core Fonts for the Web in ReactOS's wiki's Fonts page. It maybe useful for some people.
I also found some free substitutes for Microsoft's dingbat fonts:
Freedings is a free Webdings substitute.
Symbol is a free icon font as a fallback to Microsoft's Segoe UI Symbol and Segoe MDL2 Assets.
Uno.fonts is a free substitute of Segoe MDL2 Assets.

Hey, thanks very much for these.

I remember several years ago a certain popular software was powerless without the correct fonts installed with that extra effort. But this year it doesn't seem to be necessary, which is kind of mysterious to me. So I want to have a backup plan in case some other program turns out to need the fonts.

It's also nice to have some stuff in common with others out there, almost like web safe colours. So thanks for your hard work.
