Font Help...

Post by Jfile »

Hello...

Is anyone familiar with any downloadable script fonts that can be used in InkScape? I found a really nice one, (Samantha Fonts) that I can buy and it will supposedly work with InkScape but I hate to pay to download it, unless someone can confirm they have used it or know of a better way to do it.

InkScape doesn't seem to have many nice script type fonts. My wife wants me to cut out a girls name for a friend who is having a baby. I'm not good enough with InkScape to do a lot of editing so I need a script type font that has all of the letters connected when typing a name. I would like to end up with just the letters all connected without having to have any type of border.

Thanks in advance.

There are lots of free fonts available online to download. Another option is to draw a thin rectangle below the letters slightly overlapping and connecting them.
