Before using script make sure the DingBat license allows (most will)
Images below↓created by keeping the layers and saving as Gif animations


In the menu select a dingbat font and select the size and by default it will select all the capitol letters but you can also elect to deselect Capitols and include lower case,numerals, and control characters in the Image hose but most dingbats usually only make use of the capitals for images.
From Rel3 you also have the option to save the selected D'bat images as .gbr brushes to your brushes folder or a folder of your choice
The last option will allow you to keep the image and layers, otherwise they are deleted
When the script finishes a message will inform you where your new .gih brush has been saved

Menu Locations are Script-Fu/Brushes/Font to Image Hose and <Fonts>/

; Rel 0.02 - Added toggle control for Capitols and included Bugfixes
