Resources & How To's For Cricut -



This is one of my most viewed posts, and the one I get the most feedback on.  I tried to explain as simply as possible, how to use text in design space:

The above link is actually part two of this post, which explains how to download and install fonts, so that you can use your own free fonts in design space.

You'll quickly find that design space is very limited.  It does not do things like curve text and read font kerning (proper spacing) properly.  There are a lot of extra programs that many of us use to bypass the inadequacies of design space, and make designing easier.  If you ignore all the rest, at least look at FontLabPad, which is truly a HUGE time saver when using many of the pretty fonts and getting them to look the way the font designer intended, with almost no effort.   Which Apps To Use With Cricut

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 ...
