DK, I have sent your wayward mailart further afield. It should land somewhat Northwest of you, and the recipient will have the choice to pass it further or return it home to Elgin. All of this deends on my postal person being even willing to pick it up and carry it away from my house later on this morning.

And hooray for randomness: KCG: you might want to sear rubber gloves when retrieving your mail this Christmas. Even the deep freeze of Montana's winter won't harden the slime of my heartfelt Barfa Spewart Holaday Greetings!

Martita--a Dkult font would be fanastic not saying you should do it, but how would you go about making busted, grimey, trashed up letters? you have a cool skill

wow Dan! that made my eyes cross and uncross multiple times!!!  can't even process all that amazing trash!  do you think it will make it here? let's hope. I'm thinking it might give the postfolks a seizure trying to figure out where it goes      !

ammmazing Martha--I am so touched by this.  I installed it and now need to finger out how to get it loaded into fonts as you said.  I LOVE it and she will too. I am going to forward it to her teacher too.  I'm doing okay except for a case of sinusitis that was incorrectly diagnosed.  They tried to send me to vestibular pt. had never even heard of that but it was ridiculous.

Comment by Mail Art Martha on November 14, 2014 at 5:18pm

Let me know how you are doing Diane and remember it is only for images  of printing.

I meant images or printing.

Comment by Mail Art Martha on November 14, 2014 at 12:42pm

I had a thought: may be in your computer the file does not install automatically. In that case save it and then open it , it may work or not. the foolproof way is to do it by saving it, opening your operating system( i asume Windows) and dropping the file in the FONT folder. That failing ask any kid . Or you may be installing fonts all the time and I am teaching my grandmother to suck eggs, sorry.

Comment by Mail Art Martha on November 14, 2014 at 12:34pm

Dizia is below, click to download and open. Then click on the button that says 'install' and it goes straitght  into your operating system. It is that easy.

DIZIM___.TTF

(it says Dizim because I have to give it a name and a style too, I chose medium so it is short for Dizia Medium, that is how the system shows it).

Let me know how you are doing Diane and remember it is only for images  of printing.

It was quite enjoyable and I did not feel pressure and my eyelashes didn't burn out. Now I am thinking of the next one.
