I'm trying to locate a pictographic font that I originally downloaded
in 2000. It was called something like "smile" or "smiley" or
"smilies". I used some of the characters on my website, at
http://63.111.28.155/elb/. I haven't been able to find any trace of
this font. Can you tell me where I can download or purchase this font,
as pictured on my website?

Hi Elbel,

I was able to locate the font while playing with the words  "smile",
"smiley", and "smilies" as I searched. I ended up with the word
"smilly" and found the font in the link below

If you press Ctrl + F and type "smilly" (without quotes) in the search
box, you can see some samples of the font. You may also scroll down
and look for it manually.

You can download the font through the link below by right-clicking on
the link and choosing "Save Target As..."
