Post by whatthescrap »

Does anyone know of a font that matches making the grade? TIA

That font was probably made by the artist for that cart. Comic Sans is pretty close. The PDF file for the handbook is available here and contains vector artwork if you just have a few words to make. http://search.4shared.com/network/searc ... 10&start=0
Comic Sans is available here.

The PDF file does contain Vector artwork. It will take awhile, but you can pull the letters out one at at time.

If you use the font in Inkscape, you can type your text, Path/Object to path, then use the node tool to move the dots down, and then Path/Union to make it solid. HTH

Okay, so I am new to all this and am still trying to figure out inkscape. How do you pull up a font in inkscape? Do you just change one letter at a time when you want to make a title? Also, since we are on this subject, how do you change a .png file to an .svg?

Thanks guys, you both are awesome for trying to help me with this!!!

If you hit on the A down the left hand side of your inkscape you can type in Fonts... but if you wanna change your font style to a different letter style click on the T at the top of inkscape....
Using your inkscape, import the PNG to inkscape and then go to Path/trace image.
