I dont mind fonts, those are easy.
I am concerned with the shapes I love and having a hard time finding them. Like Paper Dolls. Or Stretch your imagination
has anyone found similar shapes that would replace buying carts?

I search for coloring book pages in Google image to found nice images and silhouette.
Just did this one with a Belle's silhouette found on the internet and a castle image. You have to know how to inverse the image and create a jpg silhouette in a sofware such as Paint Shop or Photoshop, and then, convert it in svg with Inkscape:

There are some great paper dolls on this site
http://www.makingfriends.com/f_Friends.htm that can be used. I don't have a lot of time right now but it might give someone else a good starting point.

My favorite cartridge as far as shapes go is the Accent Essentials. After surfing the net for Dingbats for the last few days, I have seen A LOT of similar shapes. I don't know about paper dolls but I bet they are out there. There is SO much out there. I'm already behind on everything else in life since I bought SCAL on Friday!!

Are the fonts/images at Font Garden copyrighted? I looked for a TOU & didn't see anything.

I couldn't tell for sure whether the fonts are copyrighted. Different people have made the fonts. Often a text file accompanies a font download and it may talk about the copyright. What do you want to do with the fonts? If using for your own personal use, I don't think you need to worry - they offer download links and the fonts are free. If you want to sell them or post them on your own site, you should probably ask for permission. I think the best measure is when in doubt, assume it is copyrighted!

I have downloaded several font sets off this site. I can't get them to show up in Inkscape or SCAL. Anyone else having this problem?

I just tested and I got Halloweenies to work, do they show up in your other programs?

Fonts from the Fontgarden are compressed and need to be uncompressed or unzipped. That could be the problem of them not showing up.
