Ahem :)

Unless you sign up to Design Cuts within a week of this posting date (7 September 2018), you will miss out on Joyful, a hand script typeface with some brushstrokes within the glyphs to add a little photorealism.





The perennial unthankful creep must barge on for a moment:


☂ Design Cuts and several other sister media companies offer free fonts weekly. But often, they are handwriting fonts. Other headline-style fonts pop up, and I think it's worth your time to bop over there once and week and see what's free. Or inexpensive. They offer nice textures regularly, for designers to use in XDP.


☂ Handwriting fonts are large in file size. Fonts that, say, are over 100K, you load enough of them, and your system, and especially Xara, will slow down noticeably. And this is advice from 2018, when many of us have TB drives and gigs of ram, and a new Intel processor.

I'll be back nest week with some more free fonts that I think are worth downloading for a Nice Price.

Thanks, Gare, for posting this link!

Here's a font that' sans serif and shaded

Bertha-a five font pack


Regular, Light, Iralic and Bold, plus a second font you apply to a duplicate of your text to add the lined drop-shadow.

This looks to be a good font for "old-time" packaging, eg. Monsieur Tutulage's Snake Oil.

Thanks, Gary.

Did you draw the popcorn?
If so, what was your technique?

Sorry to say, no, is not my work, Ron. There's a place online called PixelSquid, and they offer that an exceptionally large, diverse catalog of photorealistic rendered models, from just about any angle.







They are not free. But there are severla that they let you have for free, a limited scope—fair enough.

I just got to taking screen snags at same size and then using them as signatures here.

I think if I can find a model I think they'd show, it might be worth a buck or two. In the meanwhile, I can appreciate someone else's work. Nice lighting and textures, I must say. When I first discovered this place, I'd swear this was photography!

I'm trying to enter Cree Syllabics into Photo and Graphics editor and it appears as boxes... Anyone have any ideas ?

I think you will need to either reconfigure your keyboard to enter the characters, or use a combination of keys per character on a querty setup..

Thank you - I will give that a try !

I switched to the Cree keyboard and it still comes up as boxes in Xara (it works in LibreOffice). Is there a setting that I need to change in Xara ?
