Hello and thank you for your purchase from Sans & Sons!

How to use the fonts and alternates on Windows, Mac, - Word,


Publisher, Cricut, Silhouette, etc.)?

Windows - Word, Publisher, Photoshop, Cricut, Silhouette, etc ;

There are two ways to use these fonts in Cricut.


The first is using the OTF or TTF. Using the OTF or TTF, all you have
to do is install the font on your computer. Then going to your Cricut
design space find the text icon click on the drop-down font and go
to the system and find the name of the font you installed.
The other way is uploading the SVG, ungrouping the text, and you're
done.

You can access swashes & alternates/glyphs/swirls for Windows


with Character Map.

Go to Finder(start menu) and search for ‘Character Map’


• Open the Character map and choose the designed font.
• Check ‘advanced view’
• Select ‘Unicode Subrange’
• Select ‘Private Use Characters’
Now click select and copy the glyph of your choice and paste it in
your program. (Word, Cricut, Silhouette, etc)

on Microsoft Word 2010 or later versions have a glyph panel where


you can access the swashes & alternates.
First, select the correct font and go to Insert > More symbols > select
the “Private Use Area”
and select the glyph of your choice and click Insert.
Tip for MS Word Users: Be sure to have ‘kerning for fonts’ enabled
for proper letter spacing.

Mac - Word, Publisher, Cricut, Photoshop, Silhouette, etc ;

To access swashes & alternates on a Mac you can use Font Book.
(use Spotlight search to launch it)
• Open the Font Book and choose the desired font
• switch to ‘repertoire view’, it’s the little icon at the top left with the
grid/dots or click on ‘view’ > ‘repertoire’. to see all glyphs
Now select and copy the glyph of your choice and paste it in your
program.( Word, Publisher, Cricut, Silhouette, etc)
using Font in iPhone or IPad :

if you go to the app store, search for IFont.


You can use their free version.
Once you open the ifont app, select the button "files," Then, at the
top left, you will see a button "import," click on this, please.
When the box opens, search for the font and tap on the font, it
will install it.
Normally, the downloaded font will be located in "iCloud Drive,"
and you are supposed to see the font in the zip folder (tap on the
zip folder).
It will unzip the folder and show you the font. Select the font and
click on the button: import to ifont.
On the left side of the ifont app, I recommend changing the
setting to "group by... to None + Sort by ... to Date Added, New to
Old.
Then, you will see the font on the left side.
Click and ifont app; it will popup a box asking you to "Ignore" or
"Allow." Click Allow.
Lastly, a small box will ask you to go to your device setting to
accept the new profile. All you have to do is: in setting, at the left
side, click on "Profile Downloaded" and then on the Install button.
That's it; your font will work on your IPad :)

If there is any problem with the font please message me,


and I will try my best to help you.

Please consider leaving a review, it would be much appreciated.

Enjoy the fonts!


Kind regards,
