If you guys wanna go red, white & blue with your layouts, this is a fun way to do it. I appreciate all the input I got from the first posting of this font that I put up.
But remember this: Just because you can do a star-spangled filled font doesn't always mean you should. This face can turn into a red, white and blue mess in a hurry!!!
have fun!!!

My mind wanders. And that's not a good thing, 'cause it's too small to be out there alone. Posts: 3129 | From: Tooele, UT | Registered: Mar 2005

I messed around with the font last night for a bit i Corel and I have to compliment you. I've never had a font installed that didn't require me to use the text flyouts for the different variations when layering multiple copies. The ease of using the Bold and Italic buttons was a pleasant surprise.
Outstanding. Rapid

THANX RAY -- I really poured heart and soul into making those layers line up properly from the styles menu! Words work fine -- multiple lines, however, don't tend to work quite as well and have to be broken apart to stack up right!

Thanks Mike, We do enough political signs that it will be put to good, judicious use.

try saving it to your computer (DO NOT CHANGE THE NAME OF THE FOLDER!!! THIS WILL MAKE IT CORRUPT.) and when it says it is saved you will see a dialogue box with OPEN option. Hit open and it should work!
If it remains corrupt, I will cry and scream and blame it on Yahoo!, since my diagnosing skills go only as far as the options available to me in a dialogue box!!!!

Stein..I just went to the website and clicked on the download link...then chose "save". It is a zipped file so you have to unzip it and then you can install whichever versions you wish.
How are you doing Stein? Long time since we talked.
Maybe we can get together on Skype?
edited to add..Thanks Michael..I might swap out some stars with Maple Leaves though (NOT blue ones Neil!!! LOL)

Better get yerself a printer/plotter for this font! I won't be cutting it in layers any time soon!
A friend emailed me this weekend and says this font is pretty nice without the patriotic effect.
I personally haven't found a sign layout it works on ... not yet anyway!!!
