Font Tap allows you to save glyphs from fonts as bitmap files. Most computers have a large number of fonts installed. If you need an image for an icon or a Web glyph, you are quite likely to find a suitable image amongst the fonts on your computer.
WARNING: Using glyphs extracted from fonts may involve breach of copyright law. It is your responsibility to ensure that you have permission to copy images from the font.
The Help file Fonttap.hlp contains details of how to use Font Tap.
