FONT FORMAT NOTES:
TTF FORMAT:
- Hairline Version: True type format fonts must have what we call “closed paths”. To get around this, we created these fonts with no outlines. Instead, the lines trace over themselves once and then "close".
- Regular Version: These are printable versions that can be used in various programs that accept normal TTF fonts. There is a regular printable version in this set.
Installation
- Windows: Right-click on the file and click “Unzip” and then “Install”.
- Mac: Double-click on the zipped file and drag the font file to the Font Book. Open or restart your program and use your new font. Your font can be found in drop-down text boxes within your software.
FONTLAB PAD FORMAT:
- A simple, free app in which you type out true single line text. Export as an SVG file and import it into your chosen software. You can find more info on this method on the Single Line Fonts website and also on YouTube. Check this link for more info on my FontLab Pad single line font format!
OPEN PATH FORMAT (OPF):
- Your cutter will go over the lines only one time. OPF fonts are not installable in Windows or on Macs in the same way that TTF or OTF files are. OPF format will work in these programs only:
- Sure Cuts a Lot
- Starcraft Solo
See the instructions section of the site in the website header for info on all programs.
