LESSON /TIP Make the most out of font cartridges

I have heard so many times people saying they only have one or two font cartridges. Well this got me thinking last night and thought i would do this quick lesson (might be obvious to some people but might help others)

Any font cartridge you have the fonts can have many looks with just a little playing with the design studio

so here we go
1. choose any font and size you want it
2. make sure you check the weld button

3. find a shape
4. size it to suit the end of the font
5. move into position (make sure you check the weld button)

6. highlight that shape and click copy button
7. Click paste (will paste over the top of that one )
8. Now with the single arrow key move it straight across into place

9. making sure all lettering and shapes are welded

10.click on new mat
11. you will have new mat
12. click preview
13. and you will see your brand new font you made yourself

Here are a few examples

this is just the plain font as it comes on cartridge

Here is it with Triangles on the bottoms

here it is with dots on more than just the bottoms of letters

AND you can use the same idea to put the shapes anywhere on the fonts to make them look very different this one has diamonds

HERE IS ALL THREE ALL THE SAME FONT BUT SPECIAL look to each
