I missed something I guess --what is TFT? ml ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sammi" <sammi@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: <pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, September 11, 2005 11:29 AM Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Re: adding downloaded fonts Yes Rose, Glenn has a remarkable list and it is where I have gotten many of my fonts. Another note about The Font Thing: if you are viewing a font in it, with PSP open, you will find that font in the drop down menu just as if you had opened and minimized it! As you can tell, I am a fan of TFT. It's free, too!

It is Glenn's List. Here is the address: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/fontpacks/ It is a great list.... you get tons of fonts........ and they are all great! Glenn will send an email once a week to give you a link to download the fonts. So it is not a very high volume list at all. I think there have been 35 or so emails sent this YEAR! He does a great job finding fonts for us. Tell him I sent you... :) One can never have too many fonts...haha!
