Drawn fonts can be used for SMALL quantities of
text that needs to be manipulated in unusual ways.
E.g. you can draw the text at any angle and
itilicise it to any degree. You can also change
the line-colours, fill-colours and line-widths.
HINTS
Some of the fonts were drawn with a grid-lock, most
are in centimeters, but some are in inches. If you
switch on a grid-lock that matches the characters
you will find it much easier to manipulate them.
Some fonts (e.g. Cyber, Homertn) draw very quickly,
and others (e.g. Camelot, Script) draw very slowly.
This is because DRAW can FILL an area quickly, but
is comparatively slow at drawing thick lines. If you
want to manipulate a lot of text it is not a good
idea to use a slow font.
It is usually a good idea to select your letters
and build up your text first, make your text into
a group, and delete all the unused letters before
starting to do any twisting, stretching or
italicising.
To italicise a group of letters. Stretch them,
rotate them through an angle of about 45 degrees,
un-stretch them, and rotate them back.
