As with all of my fonts, be sure to check the 2nd picture to see all of the included characters, including extended Latin characters for alternate languages.
NEW - this font includes a printable version for Word and similar programs. It is slightly thickened so that it may be readable, but still looks very "monoline" on the printed page. I hope you enjoy this added bonus version!
Included Formats:
TTF - Hairline Width
OTF (for FontLab Pad) - Open Type Format
OPF - Open Path Format
TF (thick font) Format: Regular Width - Printable version
Hairline Version (TTF):
Because 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 one time and then "close".
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 (OTF):
FontLab Pad is a simple, free app in which you type out true single line text. Export as an SVG file. Import into your chosen software. For more information on how to use this unique format, click here: FontLab Pad Format Instructions
Open Path Format (OPF):
These letters do not have any outlines at all! Like the name implies, they are are "single line fonts", also called "stick fonts", "single-stroke fonts" or "journaling fonts". These are in .opf (open path font) format. Here's how they work: these are only for the cutting software packages Starcraft CREATE and Sure Cuts a Lot (versions 5 and up). Some engraving and CAD/CAM programs will also accept OPF fonts. Your pen, foil quill, embossing, engraving, etching or similar tool will draw a single line only. No outlines, no going over the lines a 2nd time.
Regular width (Thick Font) Version: thickened slightly so that it can be used in word processing and similar documents for printing.
Special Cricut Design Space Instructions: If you have an issue with some of the font disappearing when you click "Make It", here are the steps to take: right-click the text box and choose "ungroup" and then "attach" before sending it to the machine.
