FrankEV Posted October 17, 2023 Report Share Posted October 17, 2023 Well done. Taking nothing away from your work, however, when you use all CAPS of a somewhat Script Font it can be a little hard to read. I think if you had used both upper and lower case letters the names would have read better, or, a more simple block style font may have worked better if they needed to be all caps..

That font, mathjax calligraphy, only has uppercase letters. That's the font the customer saw and liked so that's what I used. My current favorite font is Z003 and is much more readable and has both upper and lower case letters. Painting the inside of the letters was a royal pain, I ended up thinning the craft paint (gloss white) 50/50 with water, then dripped the paint into the recesses with the small hole in the cap, once the letter was full I used a small wire (ornament hanger) to stir the paint around in the hole and get better coverage/adhesion of the paint.
