Font that looks like a charm?

[lorrie]

Hi

Does anyone know of a free font that looks like a charm - you know with a hole for a brad in the top - that would be good to cut?

Thanks

If you find a font you like couldn't you just add a tiny circle so that the robo would cut a small hole for your brad?

You easily can do this yourself by adding a little circle to cut out as suggested, Lorrie. But also try looking in the templates, as there is (or was!) at least one complete alphabet with loops added that I know of and I did a set of BECKY ones; or you can also use Inkscape, DM or Phil's screen capture technique to weld a little loop onto any shape or letter you want. There's an Inkscape tutorial that tells you how to weld words in our tutorials section, and the screen capture method is explained is on the Crafty Club site, and these techniques will work for welding anything to anything, just use the letter of your choice and a small O or 0 to make the loop.

Not quite what you were after I know but there is a font called Charmholders at the website of ladytimeless.org. but it's as described, designs with rings to hold charms. There is also a font Swing Thing Dings which have a few simple charm shapes. I mention this mostly because according to a note on the site she's changing website on the 10th of April and most of her material won't be transferred over. They're both in the Dingbats category on her site

I have a gsd file of the kind of font that you are looking for. PM me your email and I'll send it to you.

There is an alphabet in the templates section that has the hole for brads.
