TTF Opening

The TTF Opening section allows the user to enter the desired text for the TTF, or select a different font for the TTF.  While similar to LetterMats, TTFs do not offer all of the same property options of a LetterMat. 

Text 

Enter desired lettering text for the TTF in the Text field.

Characters associated to the selected font are available, though they are not guaranteed to cut.

TTF Font Name

Select the desired TTF font from the Font Name dropdown control.

When possible, the names of the Fonts are displayed in their typestyle. 

TTFs are located in the /Windows/Fonts directory, so the listing is only limited by the fonts currently installed on your computer.  

You can install more TTFs to the /Windows/Fonts directory.
