help with importing a svg file

Post by shadowbh1 »

I need some help. I have worked on this all weekend and i can't seem to import a svg file. I got the file of Justin Bieber from this forum. It was a scut2 file so instead i copied the picture they has shown of the project and downloaded inkscape to get the picture converted to a svg file...which I think i did right. But when i tried to open the svg file in scal2 it acts like it was loaded but it doesn't show up. this is the first time i have used all of these programs and who knows if i have done any of this right. All i want to do is cut the picture out on my cricut for a birthday card and its turned into a huge project that has consumed mywhole weekend! grrrrr! help??

Are you doing this in winzip?? If so extract the ttf font to your desktop.. Right click on the extracted folder and then click install
