I'm looking for a free ornaments font. I know about webomint and pifont. Where can I find more glyphs?

To address your more specific question, check out GilliusADF, which is a GPL license font based on Gill Sans from the Arkandis Digital Foundry (ADF). The folks at ADF have been working to make TeX packages for their fonts. Some are already on CTAN like BaskervaldADF (based on Baskerville), VenturisADF (based to Utopia), ElectrumADF (original design?), RomandeADF (original design?). Unfortunately, Gillius hasn’t been packaged for LaTeX yet, but in the meantime, you could download the opentype versions from the ADF website, and use them either with XeLaTeX, or run them through otfinst or autoinst to use them with pdflatex.

You can't miss adforn font. Use
\usepackage{adforn}to access the glyphs. See manual of the package for the commands.There are still other fonts including ornaments (not in The Comprehensive LaTeX Symbol List), for example, linux-libertine (
libertinepackage).
