Free PowerPoint Template to Manage Free Fonts
July 11th, 2017
There are tons of free dingbat fonts available for download. And they’re great to use for your training and e-learning courses. Here’s what you already know:
- How to find and downloaded a bunch of those free dingbat and icon fonts.
- How to convert free those fonts to editable vector shapes.
Great! But what about managing those fonts and quickly previewing the icons and images you can use? It’s a pain to review them one-by-one.
Here’s an easy way to manage all of those free fonts and preview the ones you want to use to create graphic and icon files for your courses and presentation.
Free PowerPoint Template
You can download the PowerPoint template here. I made a simple video to show how to use it. Essentially you select the font characters and apply the dingbat font to see the correlation between the keystroke and what it produces.
Here are the basic steps:
- Create a slide for the font characters. I like to create a single slide for each wingding font.
- Select the characters (watch the video to see how you only select the letters you want to change).
- Apply the wingding font to the selected characters.
- This gives you a single screen with all of the characters and corresponding keystroke.
- If you want to save the slide, type in the name of the font for quick reference.
As a bonus (and slightly different approach) Taylor at Nuts & Bolts Speed Training offers his free font cutter solution and a number of icons.
What do you do to manage and preview those wingding type fonts?

I’d like to add a quick cautionary note about downloaded fonts of any kind, “normal” or wingding. Computer viruses and the like can be transmitted through font files. So, it’s a good idea to make sure your virus scanner takes a look at the file before you open/install/run it.
This is great! Much cleaner and nicer than what I developed for myself. Thanks Tom.
Thanks – this is a great tool!
Thanks for the template, Tom. It shows some great thought put into its use. When I changed the symbol font, the text box matching the first blue guide box had a dozen or more symbols in it. What is supposed to be in that box?
