Instructions - Silhouette Studio

Our TTF version is compatible with Silhouette Studio software.  The lines in this version will trace over themselves, making a 2nd line.  There are no outlines in TTF font purchased from our site.  

Windows: Download and unzip purchased file.  Find the file that ends in .ttf and right-click on it.  Click "Install".  

Mac: Download and double-Click on the zipped file.  Drag the font file to the Font Book.  A window will pop up and the font will install.  Open InVue.  Click "T" for Text.  

Start (or restart) the program.  Open the Text Style Panel.  Select the font (remember, all our fonts begin with SLF) from the drop-down list.  Click the "A" on the left side for text, and place the cursor in the mat area, then type your text.  

Important: Be sure your stroke color is black and has a line width of 1 or greater to be able to see your text!  The stroke is the 2nd icon from the left in the upper bar.

If you have a large project, there is a way to get our true single-line text into Silhouette Studio (in which the line does not trace over itself a second time).  This is a real time-saver because the lines do not trace over themselves a second time.
