We're now providing a
new monthly feature, Tips and Tricks, for you to get more
out of your fonts and dingbats. This Month,
Using Linking Borders
| Many
of the P22 font sets contain Extras that you can use
as individual decorative elements to help with visual
punctuation. Quite a few of these Extras are designed
to link seamlessly when you type them in sequence. This
allows you to create intricate borders when using almost
any software program. |
|
| Word
processing programs, such as Word and Word Perfect, are
best suited for simple word processing. However, if you
occasionally add decorative elements, you
can make your documents more interesting to the reader.
Since you cannot lay fonts one on top of another in a
word processing program, you need to type consecutive
lines, as demonstrated below using the P22 Victorian
Fonts and Ornaments. |
 |
| More
complex page layout programs such as Quark, Pagemaker,
Freehand, or Illustrator allow users to overlay text boxes
that can take advantage of full borders and boxes, such
as our Kells font set
provides. When you use the number keypad, you can produce
the knot-work borders easily. |
