I have a customer that wants his lettering in a rope looking letter style. Can anyone direct me to a font that would be downloadable. Or maybe email me one that you have? any help would be appreciated.

thanks for the tip Mike! I forgot about being able to do things by hand. If I remember correctly there once was a time in one of my past lives that I did all my signs by hand! How bout if I just lay the rope out in the letters I need and take a picture then scan that in then posterize it then. . . oh come on there's got to be a font!

Don't know name of font,as that isn't my bag, but the way I do that is to find an equadistance script and cut mask, color in w/light color first, then come back in w/dkr.version of first color and S stripe over that, creating a rope effect. right Mike? de-da-de-da-da-de da!!! lead to deuln' banjo's...heh-heh Posted by Dave Cox - That Sign Guy (Member # 3517) on :
theres a lady on the BB you need to talk to... she knows all the good free font sites. Really free. not the ones that claim to be free but aren't.

or use the handy-dandy search (upper right, beside "my profile" and "FAQ") to look for older threads including rope and font. i know i found a couple from older posts here.

Dan, they get a little touchy around here about asking for fonts and clip art... You have Corel, right? I looked in the recent book and couldn't find it but I am pretty sure that past versions had a rope alphabet. Try going back to 5 or 9 and see if you can find it. It was names "Western_____" , I think. It might be under symbols not alphabets. Hope ya find it. Sorry I can't be more help.
p.s. I think you're a sign god, Dan. Especially after you em-ceed that Letterhead Squares!! Posted by Mike Pipes (Member # 1573) on :
If he wants rope, give 'im rope!
Go buy some rope and epoxy that right to the substrate! If it's his truck, well... he'll have some nice rope glued to it.
Seriously though, here's a link. I went to Yahoo and did a search for "rope.ttf" Lot's of links to choose from - this is the first one that came up:
