JimErn Posted March 26, 2016 Report Share Posted March 26, 2016 (edited) I would like to ask y'all to mention the font you use when you post a new word pattern. A lot of times I like the font, but the amount of time trying to find it, when I have the time, is unreal. Please consider doing that. Jim Edit: If we had something in the pattern library, a listing of fonts, showing the font name, and some words in the font - what a resource that would be.

Phantom Scroller Posted March 26, 2016 Report Share Posted March 26, 2016 Great request Jim but some of the fonts I use you can't get off font sites as they where made special for the FREE4ALL forum members which has now closed down and most of the fonts I use I edit them to do what I need, Saying all that you only have to asked and there yours. A font listing is a great idea and perhaps a link to the font site perhaps we should have a vote. Roly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kepy Posted March 26, 2016 Report Share Posted March 26, 2016 Roly, the Free4all forum was transferred over to Scroll Saw Woodworking and Crafts site although they are having a lot of difficulty and don't appear to be interested in fixing the problems.

Denny Knappen Posted March 26, 2016 Report Share Posted March 26, 2016 As a member of both forums, the SWWC forum is still running and improving. The main complaint was about posting pictures seems to be fixed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerry1939 Posted March 26, 2016 Report Share Posted March 26, 2016 Jim, For Word Art patterns, I tend to lean heavily on "HOLLANDALE HEAVY" For signing it, I us "MVBOLI" When doing a pattern, type letters that need bridges (i.e. A, D, O, P, etc.) in the center, or to the right. Click different fonts and watch for something you want to work with. I only click on what appears to be Bold. Hope this is of help Friend. jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted March 26, 2016 Report Share Posted March 26, 2016 I do think that would be handy. Sometimes I manipulate a font to get the effect I'm looking for, so in that case it wouldn't be as much help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WigWag Workshop Posted March 26, 2016 Report Share Posted March 26, 2016 I agree, it would be nice has a few times when I open a pattern, I get a message stating I don't have the proper Font installed.

You folks are amazing at what you do, in creating fun stuff for us scrollers to make in out workshops. -Steven Phantom Scroller 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky2 Posted March 27, 2016 Report Share Posted March 27, 2016 Kepy, you get a notice that you don't have the proper font when you open a pattern? That's a new one on me, I've never heard of that notification. Why would you need the font installed to look at a pattern? Len Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
