So… maybe it’s because I blog, or because I bought a Mac, or perhaps because both of my parents and Mr. D work with computers, that people tend to think I know my way around a computer. The reality? Not so much. Mr. D, web guru that he is, runs circles around me with his computer, and he and my parents laugh at me for my lack of computer savvy when I cry for help.

We’re getting ready to mail out the UK invitations, and thus have been researching fonts to address the envelopes with. Using With this Ring’s (aka Almost Anderson) fabulous faux-ligraphy idea, we plan to address these ourselves.

After visiting Dafont.com, UrbanFonts, and the like, I began to download a few fonts. If you, like me, don’t fully understand how to get from point A (see font/like font) to point B (effectively use the font), then this post is for you.

Basically, I had Mr. D show me several times how to use a font, and then I took a screen shot of the process. (Why yes, I did have to Google how to take a screen shot.)

After you download the font, you should double click the zip file to open (unzip) it. Then, open “Font Book”. If what you unzipped becomes a file, you should open the file and drag only the ttf (true type font), not the txt (text file) to Font Book. If it becomes an icon with the letter ‘A’ on it, then all you have to do is drag it into Font Book in the folder you’d like (in our case, “scripts”).

What font did we choose? Well… we haven’t chosen one yet, but we could certainly use your suggestions!

What are your favorite script fonts?
