Title: Fonts that can be used for scrolling
Post by: OPi on December 04, 2015, 09:04:58 pm

Looking for fonts that would work for scrolling - the only one I have is the stencil font and that is not very appealing, at least to me. Something along the line of the GOD IS LOVE cross designed by Steve Good posted on 12/18/2014.  http://www.stevedgood.com/godislove.pdf

There is an amazing number of free fonts available at dafont.com

You can scroll saw almost any font that appeals to you!
Print out the words in the font you like and use a pencil, pen or sharpie to mark in bridges to keep letters with centers in place. That works on script also. Once finished the bridges are hardly noticeable on the project.
If you have a bit of drawing talent, you can design your own font. The possibilities are endless!

This is a simple example showing how I made the bridges on an inlay but, it works on any type of cutting.
