Was the font in a zip file? Unzip it. Right click on the unzipped font and click on "install". In SCAL make sure that your Font Table is showing. If it is not go to Window, Font table (It likes to hide under other tables so move stuff around if you don't see it). Then on the left is a small tool bar with a "T" on it, click on the T and then place your cursor on the virtual mat. Now you can either use your keyboard or click on the Font Table to put you letters on the mat. If you do a word without stopping the letters will be all together. I prefer to do one at the time and to make sure it is not "selected" before I type another one. To manipulate them after you have all of them go back to the Tool Bar on the left and click on the arrow at the top. If you decide to add more letters you must go back to the "T". Hope this helps.
