xpaperman 719 Posted April 19, 2013 How would one go about altering a font to keep the top of a word straight but make the bottom follow a curve? By doing this it will also make the outer most letters taller. Does that make sense? I have SCALP (that I don't want to use) I also have corel 3 and SignBlazer to work with. Thanks for any input Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

xpaperman 719 Posted April 19, 2013 Thanks Dakota, I have never used that. I will play around with it and see where I get. At least I now know I will be using the right tool! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jaybyrd 3,770 Posted April 19, 2013 +1 on envelope tool. Practice it and it will be your friend. I still half suck with it but it will do what you need. Jay Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

xpaperman 719 Posted April 19, 2013 Took a few minutes to figure it out but that did the trick. Just what I needed. I wish you had posted a little quicker mb20, it appears signblazer would have been way easier! Thank you so much everyone for jumping in so fast and helping out!

xpaperman 719 Posted April 19, 2013 No problem. Sorry I didn't reply to the question sooner, I mean geez it was 13 minutes after you made this thread. LOL, I know right! Well when you wife comes home (late to start with) with an arm full of sweatshirts and says "Hey I got you a bunch of work to do" (a big smile on my face) then adds "but she wants them in the morning" You don't really waste a lot of time jumping in!!

slice&dice 2,451 Posted April 19, 2013 How would one go about altering a font to keep the top of a word straight but make the bottom follow a curve?

Thanks for any input Minor nitpick ----- The demonstration on mb20music's Jing video (SB Arch tool) actually made the outermost letters smaller, not taller. Instead of dragging the Arch midpoint down, it can be pushed up, and the result will be what xpaperman is seeking. I've never used that tool before, and now it's going into my Bag of Tricks.

Jay2703 704 Posted April 19, 2013 That's why I like SignBlazer. It may be an old dated interface and not supported but you can do a lot with it. And it's free. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
