Keychain Font

[Pixman]

A couple of years back Ron Brown had a True Type font for key chains on his site. Unfortunately the site doesn't work any more. Does anyone have a copy of the font they could let me have please. Magic

Steve Goode has a great program that is free for making keychain. http://scrollsawworkshop.blogspot.com/

Thanks for your help. I've actually got the one from Steve but I liked the one Ron had as well. Magic

Unfortunately, we're not able to distribute patterns (or fonts) that someone else owns. You could try contacting him and see if you can get it directly from him. If not, you can check out the Fall 2005 issue of Scroll Saw Workshop (now called Scroll Saw Woodworking & Crafts). They have the alphabet pattern in that issue so you can make your own. I hope this helps.

Thanks Travis. I managed to track Ron down last night on a site called coolhammers.com and he sent me a copy of the font. Unfortunately it doesn't work well for MS Word or Corel WordPerfect. You have to type it in at larger than 72pt and then resize it for printing. Reduced to less than 72pt looks like blank screen with a few specks on it. Its a hollow font with very fine lines. Thanks for the help anyway. It was worth a try as I had only seen the results - a great font to cut. Magic

If you need it smaller than 72pt font, you can try using Inkscape. First type in the name at 72pt. Then go to Path>Object To Path. This will remove the "font properties" and turn it into an object. Then you can resize it to any size you wish. To thicken or thin the lines, you can adjust the stroke width by double-clicking the stroke color box (lower left corner of the screen). Click the Stroke Style tab and choose the width of the stroke. I don't have the font, but it should work.

Thanks Travis. I'll have a go at doing that. Magic
