Rockytime Posted November 12, 2019 Report Share Posted November 12, 2019 I've downloaded several fonts from dafont site. However some time ago Don from Brooklyn listed many scroll-able fonts. I have the list saved but have no idea how to get them into Office. Can someone help me? The list is one pdf file and I would like to download individual fonts.

jollyred Posted November 12, 2019 Report Share Posted November 12, 2019 I don't believe they can be downloaded from a pdf file. You will have to search for the fonts in a downloadable format. Type in the name of the font in a search engine and see what comes up. Good luck Tom OCtoolguy and John B 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimErn Posted November 12, 2019 Report Share Posted November 12, 2019 As Tom said, google the font name, then download it Most font downloads come in a zip file type, you need to (in windows explorer) right click on the file and choose extract all, then double click on the font file after extraction. While Win Explorer will show you the contents of the zip file, the contents can not be used until extracted. In the browser, the download arrow can be clicked, and the most recent downloads seen, right click on one and select open containing folder to open win explorer automatically Fonts are installed in the system, word and other programs read the font list when you open them.

don in brooklin on Posted November 12, 2019 Report Share Posted November 12, 2019 the PDF is just a list on fonts I have. Most come from the system or dafont. If not PM me and I will send. As Jim says when you down load a zip file make sure you save it on your system just don't open it and install. Once on your font is on you system click and then click install for all users. That makes it available for all programs including Inkscape. If install for all users does not come up you have either not save to disk or you are running as admin only.

Rockytime Posted November 13, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2019 Downloading fonts is working well. Thanks all! Still having difficulty finding scrolling fonts. There are thousands on dafont to view. amazingkevin and OCtoolguy 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockytime Posted November 13, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2019 Ray let me ease your confusion. I can download fonts. Don from Brooklyn posted a pdf file showing what fonts he uses that are scrollable. I'm just saying I cannot find those fonts on dafont.com with knowing the exact name of the font. Of course there a chance I'm missing something also. OCtoolguy and amazingkevin 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, if I recall, there were 3 of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are called "scroll saw regular", "scroll saw 02" and "scroll saw 03". I'm not sure if you posted the .zip file but in the search they are in a .pdf file. Somehow, I got them. https://www.scrollsawvillage.com/applications/core/interface/file/attachment.php?id=65827 Ok, I read further in that same topic and found that the 3 fonts in question are from Steve Good and are in his font viewer or font list or something of that nature. Here is a link to the whole thread as it was written back in December of 2018. Edited November 14, 2019 by octoolguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimErn Posted November 14, 2019 Report Share Posted November 14, 2019 Ok now I am confused, Rocky started this thread, Wish he would chime in and let us see the pdf he is talking about or the names of the fonts he wants. that thread you referenced refers to how to get those three fonts, but I am wondering if it is some others Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that is the case, I apologize. By the way, a side note, I love the browser Opera that you put me onto. It has so many aspects that are better and more inclusive. I uninstalled both Mozilla Firefox and Chrome. Never to be used again. Thanks so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you still haven't found the fonts you are looking for, try going to Steve Good's website/blog and check out his font files. That may solve your problem. I hope.

teachnlearn Posted November 16, 2019 Report Share Posted November 16, 2019 Stencil fonts will probably work also. Cutting either folders or vinyl there has to be bridges to keep the letters shapes to spray or brush.
