I've ALWAYS wanted to know where you could get this font.

Thanks so much Chris....and a Christmas name as well!

I was just telling somebody about this today and had it pointed out that it could actually be downloaded for free!  I assure you the word 'ars*' was only whispered and not shouted  Wink

It's an installable cab in Windows, so anywhere you like and then just double click to install.

Each time I click on this I am asked to buy winzip, what is this and is the only way to download the font is to buy winzip?

Hope someone understands what I mean 'cos I don't!!

You should have the option to choose evaluation mode.

Download the WinRAR 3.62 trial from here http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm

That should do it Cheesy

Should be interesting to see what people do with this for next Cropredy, what with inkjet t-shirt xfer sheets and even temporary tattoo sheets Shocked

But with excessive use will the band not need to re-brand. As opposed to re-band which they have numerous times Grin

Zipped files should open automatically in Windows XP without actually installing the program.

If not, you can install the evaluation version, and it will hapilly work beyond it's 30 day limit.

OK, I know this sounds a bit thick, but I've never downloaded a font before - does it add itself to the list of fonts in the drop-down box? If not, how do I use it? I think I saved it to the right place, but it didn't drop-down when I tried it ... do I have to log out and log back in again? I am running XP by the way.

Ensure it's in the windows/fonts directory and it should appear on the list, you shouldn't need to log out.  And welcome, fellow Dead Can Dance fan Smiley

Hi GoatBoy - Thanks for the welcome   Grin
and thanks for the advice, I shall have to try again. I thought I had stored it in the right place but evidently not. Can't wait to try it out!
