font recommendation & font viewer info.

Post by Paula Anne »

HI. I am in the middle of doing some lettering on glasses.
I have used the "CANDICE" font in the past. I do NOT like it.
I am looking for something that has a bit of a cursive look to it, but not cursive. Make sense.
Here is a photo of what I am using.
Please, can anyone make any recommendations an a font.
Thanks

Have you seen Lobster? It is a true cursive, I guess, but really a fresh look.

Creampuff is another nice one

I did download it. But the "H" is very straight. I'm looking for some style on the H! ROFL.
Have NO idea how to describe. LOL!

The best way to do this is to go to dafont.com and type in your word in the custom preview box and then you can scroll through the categories quickly and see what catches your eye.

What do you guys use to view your fonts? I have over 1000 fonts loaded to my pc and wanted to know how do you view them. I used the SCAL drop down menu but it's a bit small and you don't get the feel for what the font really is going to look like. Any suggestions?

I use the AMP font viewer. I learned about it from another site and how to use it. I like that you can type a word in it and see how it looks on the fonts that are not installed but in my fonts folder. I don't know how this one compares to the others. Its the only one I know how to use.

Thank you for that recommendation that AMP font viewer did exactly what I wanted it to do and I was able to print all my fonts out that way I have a hard copy of what to plan with before I design in SCAL...
