Need Help with Fonts, please!

Post by esthrmend »

Hello I am new to this an was wondering if I could save fonts in a zip drive and use then with the SCAL from there.

Long story really short I want to download them from my work computer and use them on my Laptop, is this possible and how.

Thanks so much for your help in advance.

You will have to move them over to the Windows font directory in order for them to show in SCAL

I don't have mine in my windows font directory. I downloaded The Font Thing and put that on my external hard drive. All of my fonts go in there and I can access them with no problem via SCAL. I DO have to have The Font Thing open, with the font selected, in order to select it in SCAL. But that's not really a big deal to me. I'd rather to that than have 100 extra fonts in my Windows directory.

You could buy a flash drive to transport the fonts from work to home.

You then can make folders on the flash drive to save your SVG files. If you make the folders now and download SVG files it won't be a mess when you get tons of files.

I named my folders animals, childeren, clothing, food/kitchen, cards etc.

So much easier to find them.
