I love this font, it’s the perfect wizardy font… but in order to use it, you need to know how to install it.
Here’s a little bit about TRUE TYPE FONTS aka TTF.
A true type font is a system font, it’s not like an SVG that you load into design space, this isn’t a graphic file. A system font can be used by any software that accesses your system for fonts…. Like Microsoft Word, or powerpoint!
The great news for cricut crafters, is that Cricut Design Space can access system fonts.
Here’s how to install a TTF (True Type Font) on both Windows and Mac PCs, and revel in the newfound power of system fonts:
Installing TTF on Windows:
- Download the TTF: Find a TTF file you love (the funkier, the better!), and download it to your computer.
- Open the Font File: Double-click the downloaded TTF file. A preview of the font should pop up.
- Install Font: At the top of the preview window, click “Install”. Voila! The font is now part of your Windows font family.
- Access Anywhere: Now, this TTF is a certified “system font”. That means it’s at the beck and call of any software that uses system fonts—Word, PowerPoint, and of course, Cricut Design Space. Go wild with your new typographical prowess!
Installing TTF on Mac:
- Download and Locate: Similar drill—download your chosen TTF and find it in your Downloads folder (or wherever you stashed it).
- Open Font Book: Search for “Font Book” using Spotlight or find it in your Applications folder.
- Drag and Drop: Drag your TTF file into the Font Book window. It’ll automatically install. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy.
- Use Anywhere: Like a VIP guest, your TTF now hangs out with other system fonts. Use it in Word, PowerPoint, and (of course) Cricut Design Space to impress friends, family, and random passersby with your eye-catching designs.
Conclusion:
Installing TTFs isn’t just about fonts—it’s about empowering your creativity! Once a TTF becomes a system font, it’s like granting it a universal passport to all your favorite design software and more. So go forth, install those fonts, and let your Cricut projects shine brighter than a disco ball at a font party!
