Good fonts for monograms: Boys AND Girls

Is there a post somewhere with a list of good fonts to use for monograms?

I want fonts to make items for boys (more block), as well as fonts for items for girls (more scrolls).

Thanks!
Ashley

Are you looking for 3 letter monograms, or single letter monograms with/without some type of border?

Primarily 3 letter.

I found these examples of some that I like for boys especially- does anyone know what font it is? (And on a side note, anyone know how to make a diamond shaped monogram like that- it's pretty.)

Thanks!

These are very difficult to make. To look nice they have to be done node by node. Otherwise the letters look distorted. You can purchase these monogram fonts here:

Vine monograms (last on that page) is very popular for girl monograms.

On the website Kay posted, there are also monograms that do not require font manipulation, and you could replicate them yourself. Check out this page, http://www.fontbros.com/cgi-bin/commerc ... =MFCO-MAMO, and scroll down to the list of fonts for some great ideas.
