I love fonts. My favorites are the cute handwriting type fonts. You can find companies online that will turn your handwriting into a font for a fee. However, check out http://kevinandamanda.com/fonts/fontsforpeas/. Amanda will do it for free if you follow her instructions carefully. Here is my handwriting called Pea*Rayn.
Now what does this have to do with photography, you ask? Well yes you can use fonts in WORD files, but if you are a digi-scrapper, you will really appreciate having some great fonts.
Also check out http://www.dafont.com/. They have a lot of free fonts for download, I love some of their monogrammed fonts.
Here is how to install on Windows VISTA, but should be similar in other versions.
-download the font into the following folder: C:drive>user>documents>fonts.....or create it if you don't have it.
-unzip the compressed folder
-go to contol panel>fonts(be sure you are in classic view). Click on "install new font". If you can not find this command, then right click on the fonts folder and you should see the command to install a new font.
-select the path to find the folder that you downloaded the font into. Once found, click on it and click ok. (Be sure to check "copy fonts to Fonts foler")
-now when you start typing you should see the new font added,if not you either forgot to unzip the file first, or you just need to restart your computer.
Good Luck!
