2 font faq HOW TO INSTALL YOUR FONT You will receive your files as a zipped folder. For instructions on how to unzip your folder, visit LauraWorthingtonType.com/faqs/. Your font is available in two formats: TrueType Font file (.ttf) and OpenType Font file (.otf). If you have a Mac or newer Windows computer, install the.otf file(s). If you have an older Windows computer, install the.ttf files. Install the font by double-clicking on the.ttf or.otf file. When the popup menu appears, click on Install font (Mac) or Install (Windows). Fonts may also be installed by dragging and dropping them into your system s font folder. After installing your font, save a copy of the downloaded font files in a folder on your computer as a resource in case you want to re-install the font or transfer it to a new computer. HOW TO INSERT SWASHES, ALTERNATES, AND ORNAMENTS Some programs have a glyphs or symbol panel where the complete font including swashes and ornaments can be accessed and inserted directly. For programs that do not have a way to directly insert the swashes, the easiest method of putting in alternate swashes or symbols is by using either Character Map (Windows) or FontBook (Mac). Character Map (Windows) Character Map is a standard Windows utility and can be found in the Start Menu s accessories folder (Windows XP, Vista, 7) or in All Apps under Windows Accessories (Windows 8.1, 10). Character Map can also be found by searching for it by name.

3 Select your font from the drop-down menu. Character Map will show all available glyphs. To quickly find the swashes, change Group By to Unicode Subrange, and select Private Use Characters from the pop-up menu. Click on any swash and then copy and paste it into your document. See the Character Map Video for a demonstration. FontBook (Mac) Font Book is a standard Mac utility program and can be found in Finder under the Go menu under Applications. Once FontBook is open, go to the View menu and select Repertoire. Click on User in the left panel and then select the font name to see all available swashes in the font. Click on any swash and then copy and paste it into your document. See the Font Book Video for a demonstration. than one user and/or more than five workstations, please contact me at help@lauraworthington.com for a multi-user license.

4 alana smooth about rlll Alana A connected script face that glows with casual elegance. Based on a plausibly personal handwriting style (rather than showy calligraphy), Alana s inviting letterforms work convincingly in settings such as letter-writing and menu details, even at small sizes. Set at display sizes, Alana s strokes reveal rough edges evocative of ink on textured paper. Use over 300 alternates, including swash capitals and ornamented forms, to dress up Alana for titles, headlines, packaging, and wordmarks. Includes 62 matching ornaments: botanical fleurons, birds, and cute lil bugs. 5 LLL r
