I need images/cliparts/icons for mathematical symbols

Question

I need to add icons (16x16) for my application. The icons must be showing images of +,-,x,%,<,>,!= and symbols like that. Is there any site where i can get it? Or any software which can quickly help me generate them. I'm bad in designing them.

Also suggest me a site where i can get free collection of Icons or Images, (i can convert images to icons).

Answer 1

Maybe you will like these. I believe most are 16x16 as well:

Answer 2

You can use your favorite word processor (or any software able to show text with wanted attributes, eg. your Web browser!) to show these symbols with needed size, colors, font, etc.

Then you can use a screen capture software to do a snapshot, then convert the image to icon.

Or just use an icon editor able to show text...

Answer 3

glyFX has a set of "Character Tile" icons with an icons for 212 unicode characters in different colours. I think it includes all the characters you mentioned.

Answer 4

Can you render fonts into images?
