Beware of the pics that are made in paint. They can be scary.

what does linking with fonts mean?
YellowBlu Co. says: Mar 27, 2012. 6:10 PM
If you link it with all fonts does it replace the fonts with the font you made all the time?

instead of going through all that you could just type alt+r and then type in eudcedit into the run input box

Please excuse my bad English im only 14 years old and from Austria (we have NO kangurus in here and we speak german) Good instructable ! How did you find out about that ? Is it possible to create bigger Letters (with more Pixel) ?
lookatmygrlyfont (author) in reply to homunkolossJun 12, 2007. 10:25 PM
umm i dont think but you could try resizing your font in like word or something to see if it gets bigger.

Great Instructable, grlyfont. How well does the character transfer between machines? That is, will it appear to people who receive email documents or openoffice documents on a another computer as it appears on your own?
lookatmygrlyfont (author) in reply to Timmyd_2May 31, 2007. 5:26 PM
um i really dont know? i tried pasting it into a a brower and it came up as a ?. maybe it will work in a word document or something. if you wanna try it out and report back that would be cool :)
schorhr in reply to lookatmygrlyfontJun 1, 2007. 9:03 AM
The person recieving a document needs to font installed. Some programs offer font inclusion or converting fonts to curves to avoid problems.
