Good day to all,
does anyone know of fonts or know how to search for fonts that don't require cutting a letter in two pieces.
Thanks for help and God Bless.

It is very unusual to find a nice font for scrolling that you just 'type and scroll'. Lots of people think that is what Keith and I do with our word art projects. In reality, it takes many (MANY!) hours to redraw every letter and flourish so that not only will it withstand cutting, but also be flowing and pleasing to the eye. If there were an easy way to do it with beautiful results, we would be out of business. :) Some of his large sectional plaques take over a week of solid work drawing the various letters.
There are some that take less work (like stencil letters) but they aren't nearly as attractive in my opinion. I suppose it depends on what you need it for. :)

You might want to check Sheila's website www.sheilalandrydesigns.com
She has three font patterns SLD361 SLD 362 SLD 363.
They have upper and lower case as well as numbers.
Hope this helps.

WordArt is a free font and is extremely easy to cut. I do modify the cut on A & R to make it a little stronger but it is not really necessary.
