How do I choose a font style?
By clicking on the image to the left, you will be able to peruse a very large selection of font types. You can even try your text in the font you like by clicking on "Custom Preview" on the right with the magnifying glass.You do not need to buy a font. Simply note the style name and category. While I can burn almost anything, some are just too fine or too ornate to do with the burner.The more detailed the font, the more time intensive the project. If cost is a major concern, that is definitely something to keep in mind. For questions about pricing, see either FAQ on the side menu bar or in the Help section.
