Ask Steve a question. / FONTS

« on: March 03, 2013, 12:33:10 pm »

Steve,
I appreciate and enjoy your web site and you tube articles. I sometimes change the pattern to fit my use. One large problem that I had in the past is when I just want to change a word or two in your pattern. Usually I end up changing the font and normally use WordArt. However, it might really help if you could post the name of the font that you used originally.
Of course this all depends on the premise that you do not mind my altering your pattern.
Thanks for all of your help.

Computer questions / CorelDraw

« on: March 02, 2013, 03:53:32 pm »

Using CorelDraw, I would like to "fill" a pattern that I am working on with a wood patterned and color fill. For instance I would use a oak fill and then change to a walnut fill in order to determine the best looking wood for the project.
Anyone have any ideas on how to bring in a sample of wood into CorelDraw?

Ask Steve a question. / Fonts for sign

« on: June 07, 2011, 11:05:20 am »

I asked about the "Friends" sign font but maybe I need to be more generic.

What fonts do you sign makers prefer?

I would like to know what fonts are best for cutting into a board and also cutting out individual standing letters.

Thanks

Ask Steve a question. / pdf file modification

« on: March 30, 2011, 07:13:01 pm »

I am experiencing a little problem with PDF files. I like to save the actual pattern to a "jpeg" file. Then using Rapid resizer, I can make it any size I want. The only way I have been able to do it, is to print a hard copy then scan the hard copy into rapid resizer. Is there an easier way?
Also on the United States Army Veteran pattern, I would like to be able to change "Veteran" to "Active Duty" or "Retired" as these are differant than veteran. Any advice would be appreicated.
