As the copyright lies with each designer, you have to download the files first to see the Read Me file with the exact terms of use. There is always a risk of spyware being downloaded onto your computer

Using Dingbats
Dingbats are like the Wingdings on your font selection. They can be used as icons, clip art or as design elements. Alphabet dingbats can be used to make cool headings.
