Where does the font Laurie's Country come from - I don't see it on my font list for SCAL or Inkscape? So new to this, I don't have a clue what I am doing, but I am trying to follow Susan Bluerobots tutorials, but my first problem is I can't find the font that she is using. HELP :?

Thank you. I'm so glad you are always on when I send in a help request. Now here is another. I see your link, but now what do I do with it. I was able to download it to my desktop but am not sure how to get it to SCAL or Inkscape. :oops:

Right click on the zipped folder, extract all. A dialog box will pop up. Follow the instructions, but make sure that you unzip the fonts into your fonts folder instead of the default location. For Windows that is C/windows/fonts.
