Idiot proof instructions please for using Dingbats fonts

[scrappingmad]

Thanks Shirl - I am working away for a couple of days so will try it when I get home. I noticed that there was an upgrade to the programme which rectifies the problem of not seeing the letters on the keyboard so I will be looking at that as well.

yes - you don't need to use your keyboard to type the letters as in a graphics program you can open the font menu and double click on the letters you need, they then appear on the cutting mat ( this is especially useful when using dingbats as you can see which shapes you need instead of using an external viewer to see which shape corrisponds to which letter!).
the empty squares are still present in some fonts in the upgrade.
