Ginko leaf

Post by trialero »

Hi,

I have a book where a beautiful Ginko leaf is printed after every part of the text. It looks like some LaTeX symbol, but it is not in the 'Comprehensive LaTeX Symbol List' form Scott Pakin. The internet is also inconclusive.

Does anyone know where to find or where to look?

TIA,

Something like this?

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage{blindtext}
\newcommand{\sep}{{\bigskip\noindent\hfill\fontsize{10}{12}%
  \usefont{U}{webo}{xl}{n}I\hfill\bigskip}}
\begin{document}
\blindtext

\sep

\blindtext

\sep

\blindtext
\end{document} 
I've seen it from Gonzalo Medina a long time ago.

Ginko leaf

Hi Stefan,

indeed it is a fleuron / glyph like you posted, an example from the book is attached.

By contacting the maker of the book, I found out that it is a drawing of a Ginko leaf made by the writer. The maker scaled that picture and used as a fleuron. So it is a unique thing and not in any character set.

Case solved
