The ornaments I’m looking

The ornaments I’m looking for would be used in text, as starters for captions, headers, subheaders, bylines and so on. Thanks Paul about the hint of Corundum, I’ll talk to Josh about it.
Thanks for the links, I’m looking at everything right now.

The Lanston Collection has several fonts with ornaments that can be combined to form patterns, particularly:

Josh has done a couple of Pi fonts for Corundum Text, maybe these will work for you?:

How about Woodtype

How about Woodtype Ornaments, Caslon Elements,...?

Lots to see there!
I personally like Nat Vignette a lot (I even had one character tattooed last year).

There’s also a free font with different styles & characters from other ornamental fonts called WebOMints which you can find here http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/webomints/

Dingbats gone wild

Hi
I’m looking for a Dingbat to work with Joshua Dardens Freight Display. So, a classic style with different nice arrows, symbols. The use is for a Scandinavian cultural magazine (high brow) if that helps narrow it down.
A fast glance at fontshop didn’t really help me out... :( Type Embellishments and Arabesque & Rococo Ornaments are to the right direction but not quite it.
Thanks.
