Title: another fonts question
Post by: kardar2 on September 03, 2011, 06:44:25 pm

I looked at all the old post but I did not find my question. I down loaded the "ballpark font" at dafont.com but how do I keep the centers of the letters to stay attached. Do you just have to go from letter to letter and free hand a line or what. thanks Karl

Oh ok, you want to use it in a picture pattern...

Yeah, you'll have to work on that or use another font...

You'll either have to put the pattern together and edit if afterwards so the floaters dont fall out, or, use a font editor to edit the font if you plan to use this font often.

Yeah Pete, I think you are the only one! I don't see Veronica.
Chachi, Veronica Lake is an old time movie star, not a lake.

LOL, he is not talking about a lake with water. He is referring to Veronica Lake the movie star. She always had her long hair in front and to the side of her face. Her trademark so to speak. And yes I thought of her to a few times when I saw his avatar.  ;)

Nope she was'nt cross eyed, actually a very attractive young lady in her time.  :)

Oh and I noticed you modified your post Dan after I posted she was a movie star. LOL  ::)
