Newbie Needs Help Please

Post by Ladydawg01 »

Ok, trying to use dingbats in scal. I went to urbanfonts.com and went through the download, extracted the files. I cannot figure out how to get them into scal.

Please tell me what I am missing. I am going crazy wanting to use some dingbats and just cant get it to work. The font i downloaded is showing up in my fonts, but i can't get the dingbats to work.

Thanks for your help.

each font picture corresponds to a letter on the keyboard a-z and 1-10. You have to click on the T for text on the sidebar thingie(oh I do so well explaining, don't I?)TOOL bar, click on your font, then type. You may also have to put on caps lock.

What I do is type the whole alphabet and numbers at 1 inch across, maybe 6 images to a line...they will all be grouped each line, and then take the arrow key in TOOLS and drag a line around and go to the top to find ungroup, then you can click on just the font you want and copy paste to a second page to cut just that font...make larger, make your shadows, etc.
