Obviously this all WAY exceeded my attention span, but I wanted to share it for those who may want to tackle this process. This does not truly make a writing font, rather it's more like using Phonto to curve text, you do this for each bit of text you want to write, and import it. Rather than printing in the "bubble" outline, and filling in with a pen, you fill in the outline digitally before sending it to print. The process is basically a digital version of filling in the font. This involved using a vector editing program like Inkscape. You can't just convert "normal" fonts to writing fonts. But when it comes to writing, it's not that simple. Now for all other projects, I just download free fonts off the internet, install them, an cricut cuts them just fine. There are more options if you keep scrolling, I only screenshotted a portion here, but there are none that I love. OPF Fonts - These are TRUE single line fonts. Look specifically under photos, there is an album of writing samples kept there. Single Line Fonts Included in these files are the following formats: Truetype fonts - These have a 2nd line that goes over the first line in the same place. To see when I add more samples, follow Crafting With Fields Of Heather on facebook. Weld is not necessary for print, where the letters do not touch - but it's really important for cursive writing) If the centers of letters fill in when you weld, try sizing the text to something ridiculous like 200 wide, weld, then resize back to the smaller size. That will tell the machine to write it as one smooth word, and not to write each letter individually. If you are using a cursive font, be sure to weld it before writing.
