donna, do you have Wordmark.it on your computer? If not, it is free to download and then you can type in a word and all of your fonts that are loaded onto your computer show up with the word you typed in. It is my favorite computer tool. I like Milkshake, Buffalo Nickel, and Stay Outside. I print a copy of all of my fonts with something like Happy Birthday for a quick reference check.

Iguess I am weird. I like variety. What font I use depends on the layout. I do not really have "favorite" fonts that I use over and over. I type up my title, and using either Word or the Silhouette software, using the down arrow will change the title to the next font. When I find a font that I like, I use it.
I have hundreds of fonts installed on my computer. I know some people get overwhelmed by too many options. I like options. The more, the better. It's easier for me to be creative if I have a lot of options to choose from.

It's easier for me to be creative if I have a lot of options to choose from. I do too, but with script, I have to be a bit more picky to get a good weld of the letters. I think I have 250 fonts and have used maybe 75 of them. Some are so similar. |

scrapnnana I'm with you! I'm a "font junkie" and have hundreds of fonts too. Sometimes I use Fontbook, sometimes Wordmark, but like you, I type whatever it I'm doing, whether it be a title or journaling, and then scroll through until I come across one I like. I don't really have a favourite either, it depends on what I'm working on at the time. I get in trouble when I'm looking for a font that (believe or not) I don't have and find myself browsing through fonts online! So many nice ones out there, available for free! Also, check out thehungryjpeg.com - they have weekly freebies and dollar deals that are amazing!

I'm a font junkie. But the truth is I always end up using Lobster when needing a script font. It just welds so nice and easy. Someday I'll use all those other fonts that I have collected...

OK, those are some great fonts.
Will someone help a newbie out? If I download to my computer, how do I use it with my Cricut Explore Air 2?

Once you that, open design space and add a text box. Select the new font. You can search for the name of the font. |

I would click on the font- type the word- then delete if I didn't like it. Then start over till I found one I liked. I am seriously excited right now!!! lol |

For big script titles, I LOVE Simply Glamorous (dafont) I give it just a smidge of an offset (like 0.025) and then delete the middle layer. Such a beautiful font. I also like Honey Script, LD Handtastic and Pacifico...but Simply Glamerous is definitely my favorite! |

My all time favorite script font is Samantha. You do have to pay for it, but I know I got it for about $25. Well worth it, as every number, letter, and character has multiple choices for grapheme/glyphs. It cuts very well on my Cameo and lends itself well to plumping up the letters with an offset if need be.
For wafer thin fonts, I tend to use more block style letters, with out lead in flicks. I just find it easier to do script fonts with my Cameo.

I have used Samantha for anything that I want to look a bit more elegant. |

For Explore Air 2: You ungroup the letters, move them so they are touching, then use the weld function. You can move them manually or there is a button on the top that you can use to keep moving the letters closer until you are happy. |

I have used Samantha for anything that I want to look a bit more elegant. I honestly don't remember what I paid for it. I said about $25, but I should have said for under $25. And I got both the regular (upright) and italic fonts at the same time. I'm not sure if I use it more because I paid good money for it, or because I like it so much. Maybe both?  |

No you have to weld them. Ungroup first and then shrink the spacing between the letters or drag them till they touch. Then select the word, group and then weld. |

I don't see Ballerina or Rochester mentioned. I love them.
Also, a new one that I am super crushing on is Sweet Hipster. This one is a mic drop.
