Writing with FUN fonts in Cricut


LOOK what this machine can do!  It's so much more artistic than I am!  :-)

For quite awhile now, I've been testing out fonts that write as handwriting fonts in cricut.  FREE fonts, that do not outline when used in the writing feature.  I've found 22 of them, and I've been happy playing with those.

But today I learned something new.  The cricut will also write FUN fonts.  Drawing fonts.  I don't need any signs right this minute, but when I DO need a sign, this is going to be fun.



When I posted this on a cricut facebook group, immediately I got comments that the cricut would not draw these like shown above.    But my cricut DID draw what is shown above - that's a photo of the results!  My cricut air 2 drew those, I took a picture of the paper it drew on.  I know - I didn't believe it would work either - but it does!!

FREE Fonts Used: (click on links to download)
Urban Cuisine
Sketch 3D
Cast Iron
Good Morning
Zengo
Orange Juice  (this one takes extra long to write - but I love how it looks)
RingMaster  (I think this would be better with a thinner tip)


All done with Leisure Arts Markers (no adapters needed - they fit right in the pen slot)

Fonts With Tails (Glyphs) Cheat Sheet

Glyphs are extra characters in fonts.  For fonts like Samantha (a paid font - there is no free version) you have to use a character map to access the extra swirls. There are a few fonts, such as I Love Glitter, where you can quickly add swirls (nothing as ornate as Samantha, but still pretty!) just by adding a few characters such as * \ [ ] or ().  I call them "easy glyphs". Download all four of these cheat sheets as a pdf file, here.  If that link does not work (too much traffic) Try This One. Links to download each font are found under the photos.

How To Use New Fonts In Phonto On Android

There are lots of apps to add fonts to android devices, but I really didn't want to add fonts to my android system.  I have a zillion fonts on my phone already.  What I wanted was to be able to use fonts like I love Glitter in Phonto.   Cliff Notes - Just add them to the fonts folder in the Phonto App.  Phonto has a "how to" for installing fonts on android, but it did not work for me.  This is what worked: My fonts are all backed up in dropbox. That makes this simple - but you could also send the font to your phone through email, and save to your downloads folder.   I just opened dropbox, went to the font, clicked on it, chose export/save to device, and saved to my downloads folder. Then I went to my downloads folder (Use "My Files" - in your app drawer. )  LONG click on the font.  If you just open it, you may get a message saying you do not have an app to pen this file.  You want to select the font, which you do by holding down on ...

Geocaching Themed Novels - Part Two

Books To Read When You Can Be Caching - Part Two Last year I compiled a list of geocaching themed fiction. This year when I went to update the post with the additional books that have been published, or that I have since learned about, there were just too many to add to the original post.  You can see last years list here: http://fieldsofhether.blogspot.com/2017/05/geocaching-novels-mysteries-to-read.html I've updated that post with my opinions of the ones I have read - my two favorites from that list were The Advocates Geocache by Teresa Burrell & To Cache A Killer by Karen Nortman I also have a list of Young Adult Geocaching themed novels here: http://fieldsofhether.blogspot.com/2017/05/ya-geocaching-themed-novels.html Hope You Guess My Name by Heather Harlen If plucky heroines had their own secret society, Marina Koneyshna, Stephanie Plum and Bridget Jones would all know the handshake.
