I would like to add some gold leaf fonts to my website. Can someone please direct me?
Thank you so much.

I am not familiar with Gold Leaf fonts but if you do a Google search, I am sure if something is out there you will find it.

A letter I colored in Xara with Eye Candy 4000, and a crack texture.

What has happened to the eye candy plugin in DP7?

Rich - The member is asking for a font. If you want to post a technique, which is very cool, then please provide more detail.

I think that the Eye Candy plug-in is not longer installed. If you have it on a previous version you can copy the plug-in folder into DP7.

The plug in folder is in the C:\Program Files (x86)\Xara\Xara Designer Pro 6\Xara Picture Editor\xpeplug-ins folder at least it is on my computer.

A font colored with a gold environment in Eye Candy 4000.

A crack texture with its inverse.

The colored font with the more black texture using it for bitmap transparency.

The second with the more white texture making a copy of the font bitmap transparent.

Then applying Eye Candy to the result to get the shaping.

The black retains opacity, and the white invokes transparency.

A vectorized version of the texture that was trimmed to a repeating tile.

A way to invert the texture using Contone. Conetone dark to white and Conetone light to black. Then make a bitmap copy to get it into the Bitmap Gallery.
