Hi guys,

thanks for your feedback!

I agree that some are not suitable, I just didn't want to force my personal taste. As mentioned, the cursives often don't survive the mirroring (Aguafina Script). Some are in my opinion just plain boring (Abel), some too quirky or whimsical (Amatic SC, Arbutus).

@Philip: I did remove some fonts for which the glyph was outside of the box, I think the remaining ones can be dealt with, especially if a dedicated icon is constructed in Inkscape or so. But I see your point. Excluding single-vertical glyphs makes sense, too, except I really like the EB Garamond one. :) And Actor just implies two vertical strokes, which I think is elegant. "Armata" is icon-like, yes, but also very close to the rejected Font Awesome version.

@Corentin: The classical pilcrow seems to have a filled bowl, at least judging by the images in the Wikipedia article. But open is certainly an option.

As always, I think John should decide all this. But in order to save him the work of looking through hundreds of variants, I propose everyone here who cares about the topic selects a few favorites, say up to 5. Just scroll through and see what catches your eye. If you can't look through everything, please pick a page at random, not that every proposed font begins with "A". :) – I then collect these in a new sheet to give John a shortlist.

There is a new version attached, where the true reversed pilcrows are at the top, followed by the mirrored regular pilcrows.
