Curve Fonts and DTP / Microsoft Word tutorial

The characters / fonts can be used in many different software such as Quark as well as word / clip art

 

1) Start Microsoft Word

2) Go to the font menu

3) Select the design font 'GX...' curve font designs (or any of the other font sets)

4) Type as you would A B C (if you wish to check the designs, the charmap is a useful tool)

To access charmap on the PC

5) Start menu and charmap application

6) Select font etc and display characters / select and copy

 

EPS converter / Ghostscript

The font sets also include EPS files and though they may or may not be accessible on your machine, you can always use a tool to convert the vector EPS format to a raster format that can be read in Word / WordPad etc - there are many free software. You can use Irfanview / Xnview though it will also need the Ghostscript to convert the EPS designs to JPG etc.

 

An alternative is to use a graphics application that supports EPS files and that will rasterize the design. Sadly, GIMP also needs Ghostscript to be available to your system.

 

Paint Shop Pro etc should have no problem opening the EPS files.

 

Converting the font text to outline shapes

Each application uses text as a design element in a different way. You may wish to convert the tribal (or any other shapes) text to outline or turn the font character (or characters) into a shape. Please note that some software can expand the character or turn it into an outline (such as Illustrator) and others cannot (Word comes to mind). This may or may not be an issue when you come to print documents etc (some software embed the font designs and some don't)

 

It is always recommend that you check this before printing documents etc.
