Henry, from that page that Stevo suggested, click on the fontry and then find their racing sets. Lots of prismatics there for $99 takes all. If that's what you need, you'll have hit the jackpot.

Hiya Henry, You may have not known this, but font swapping or trading of copyrighted art is frowned upon here. So, the politically correct question would be "would you please direct me to a place where I may be able to obtain some prismatic fonts" By the way, when you become a resident of Letterville, you will be given 15 free fonts from the fontry. If my memory serves me correctly, a couple of them are "chiseled".
Havin' fun,
Checkers

Ya know, nobody can really fault newbies asking for fonts and clipart on this site. We all know it's against the "rules". But, even knowing that and knowing it's in writing somewhere on the site, I challenge anybody to find where it's written. Hidden under a stone, I think.
PS. Harry didn't really ask for free anything. I'm just making an observation that if there are still rules on this site, they're buried too deep for anybody to be expected to know them.
PSS. Plus, as I recall, they're more of suggestions than rules anyway.

Henry...I have a few prismatic fonts, obtained the way Checkers mentioned. I can't ever actually using one.
I prefer to choose a letterstyle I like for a certain project and then I "prism or bevel" them myself.
It takes a bit longer but goes quickly with a little practice.
Any signmaking program or vector drawing program will let you do it easily.
Edited to add that.... there are thousands of fonts available but only hundreds of prismatic fonts. Why limit yourself with just a few prismatic fonts when you can choose from thousands and do it yourself?

The new version of CorelDraw 13 has a new fantastic vectored bevel capability. Create your bevel in any color you like and then print it and cut it on your plotter. It just doesnt get any easier than that.

You know I can't buy Draw X3 until we get home and yer just teasing me!!!!!
(Can't wait to get my hands on it, but I can't see me waiting 12-15 hrs on a Mexican dial-up connection to download even the trial version)
Actually, anticipating getting Draw X3 is the ONLY thing I am looking forward to about returning home!!!!

Dave would you like for me to send you some samples of what it can do? or would that be considered cruel and inhumane treatment?
Right now, I'd love to trade places with you. I'll sit down there in paradise drinking cocktails and you can sit here learning all the new bells and whistles of version 13

Gracias por su oferta Roberto...But it suddenly occured to my cocktail addled brain that I can just haul the ole laptop down to one of the internet cafes that has hi speed access tomorrow and pay 6 pesos/hr and have the trial downloaded in about 45 minutes!!!
What a wonderful thing!!! I once again have a "job" to look forward to tomorrow!!!!
Heck..I might even drop the car off to get wash and wax job while I am going to be waiting anyway!

Don said "Ya know, nobody can really fault newbies asking for fonts and clipart on this site. We all know it's against the 'rules'." ------------------- It may be within our little world, but not necessarily so outside. For many years, fonts have been embedded in documents from one print shop to another. With Desktop Publishing, this became more common practice, and common knowledge. It may be one reason there are so many free font-downloads on the Web today. This does not mean that it's right, only that it's done.

Dave your really gonna like the new Power trace feature too, I was drooling yesterday with the demo, It took me all of about 10 minutes to by the upgrade, based on the power trace alone. Also the new bevel tool, works on the text so it will bevel items behind other items unlike photos shop that cuts around the different colours. It is a great new tool, and can't wait for the real deal to arrive today!!! Dale

Ok, I give up! I've been perfectly happy with CorelDraw9 all these years, but you guys have finally tempted me beyond my ability to resist. I ordered X3, which led to the ordering of a new PC, which will lead to the LOOK from my wife.
I'll tell her that I....got free shipping, a free tablet, supported a Letterville advertiser, and that Bob and Dale's contact info is here if she has any more questions.

Mine arrived yesterday- I ordered it for a number of reasons- Opentype font collections, SOME new clipart (though they make it sound like ALL are new)spiral bound clipart book, a free tablet, free shipping, some nice new features... all for $149
Sorry Henry, didn't mean to keep straying off the original topic... I think I have a couple of freeby prismatic fonts laying around- I'll see if I can locate them or at least the source of where they came from.

Cool! Dave can be Sheriff of Letterville and none of the rest of us need remember where the link was hidden.

For those playing with the demo version, The real version is quicker, and has limited or no hang ups. I know, I was having problems when searching help in the demo, and problems with large files, But the real version has worked real well. Dale
