Travis Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 Not sure if this helps, but here's a tutorial on how to make a nameplate in Inkscape: viewtopic.php?f=19&t=466 Here's also a list of free font sites that might help: http://www.scrollsawvillage.com/wiki/in ... itle=Fonts You can pretty much use any font. Some may require a little bit of modification, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 Glenn, Definitely give Inkscape a try. After a little practice, you'll be able to turn any font into a scrollable font. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sawer Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 A vector drawing program like Inkscape is the way to go. My favorite fonts is Brush Script BT, it is thick enough to hold together and being a script each letter helps support it's neighbor. This fonts works good if you are doing a free standing text. I haven't done much were the fonts pieces are the cutout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
