Best fonts for etching????

[HeatherM]

If you are cutting something very thin, you might want to stick with a better vinyl than contact paper. I etched two of these for 8x10 frames, the first out of contact paper, and the second out of wall vinyl. The wall vinyl cut and weeded so much better than the contact paper, I really struggled to get a good cut with the contact paper.

Great looking artwork. Is that flourish here on the board?

Heather that design looks excellent.
What was the font you used? I like how the top of the "t" extends out over the other letters
Cheers

Sorry, the corners are from a font that I purchased called DB Dainty Swirls. I bought it from Lettering Delights when they had their Dollar sale.

I used Feel Script. The T was one of the extra glyphs. I had to use Photoshop to get the character, then I printed it with CutePDF Writer and took it to Inkscape. I don't remember if I made any modifications in Inkscape, that was a really crazy/busy time before Christmas. I can post the file with different corners if anyone would like it. Also, Todd did a Merry Christmas with Feel Script and posted it. I don't remember if he used the same glyphs.

Thanks Heather.
I know how you feel, our Christmas was crazy/busy time also
I have been using Feel Script and heard people talk about glyphs but thought they might have been some magical mystical creature
Obviously inkscape can't do glyphs, I'll have to see if any of my software will.
