The Best Fonts For Flourishes in Design Space -
Cliff Notes:
- Similar to "fonts with tails" (easy glyphs), like in the I Love Glitter font, but these fonts are ALL glyphs. (See fonts with tails cheat sheet here)
- Don't install them all! Use fontlab pad and open what you want to use right from the zipfile. Less clutter!
- Lists of pretties, arrows, and frames, below, with a short list of free sites with svg files for flourishes at the bottom. All the fonts listed below are free, and found on Dafont.
Fonts are my favorites for lines! You can just install the font to your computer, then in design space find the font under "system fonts". Now type the letter, or number, from the fonts chart to get the corresponding line.
I suggest you do NOT do that though. If you install all of these fonts, they are really going to clutter up your font list. Instead, create a folder named "Flourishes". Save the zip files for each of these fonts in that folder. ALSO, on the page for each font, right click on the chart and choose "save as". Make sure it is named the same as the font. Now you have a folder full of chart (photos) and zip files. When you want a flourish, look through your collection of charts. Choose the one you want, then open Fontlab Pad. With fontlab pad you do NOT need to install, not even unzip, the fonts. In fontlab pad, choose "open", browse to the correct zip file, and type the number or letter from the chart. Choose save, it saves as an svg, upload the svg to design space. It sounds like a lot of steps, but I promise, once you get the hang of it, it is fast, easy, and will cut down on a lot of your font clutter! (I keep a second folder of "special fonts" that I rarely use - like the Harry Potter font - so those are not installed and they also do not clutter up my list when I am looking through my installed fonts to use for a project)
