Font FAQ
How do I use the fonts?
First, be sure you have downloaded and installed them correctly by carefully following these directions. Then they will show up in the font drop down box of your favorite program– like Word or Photoshop.
You can also use the fonts on your Blogger/Blogspot blog!! Here’s how. :)
I followed the directions but it’s still not working.
I’m so sorry about that! The fonts are just standard truetype fonts — nothing special — and I can assure you that when correctly installed, the fonts do work in all programs on Mac OSX, Windows XP and Windows Vista. But if it’s not working for you, it’s likely a problem with your computer or operating system. Unfortunately without seeing your computer in person, there’s really no way to know what the problem could be. If you are receiving a specific error message, try typing the exact message you get into Google. You can also post your question in a tech support forum where the computer geniuses hang out! :)
When I try to use a font, the top and bottom are being cut off.
It’s possible you have an old version of the font. Please delete that font and download the newest version from here: Fonts for Peas or here: Free Scrapbook Fonts.

How did the “Fonts for Peas” get their name?
I have always loved handwriting. The first computer disc I ever bought was a disc with 300 handwriting fonts. It was $20, and I saved my babysitting money for weeks to buy it! Once I learned there was a program where you could *make your own* handwriting fonts, I knew I had to do it. I had always wanted my handwriting as a font. I started asking everyone I knew to write their alphabet for me so I could turn it into a font. But that wasn’t enough- I wanted more! :) I posted on the message board “Two Peas in a Bucket” asking people to send me their handwriting and I would send them a font back for free. I got so many wonderful samples, I knew I had to share the fonts I’d made with others who loved fonts just as much as I did. I created the site “Fonts for Peas” as a way to share those fonts back. I still love making and sharing these fonts freely today!

Hi Amanda! I love your fonts and i wanted to ask you a question.How long does it take for you to make a font? Thank You!
I work at a school and we are looking for a font to use that looks like the way Handwriting without tears makes their letters. We would like to use it to make labels and such for classroom shelves. Do you have anything that makes an “a” look like a circle with a line by the side? Please let me know, otherwise, thank you anyway, these others are helpful too.

What is the font for “About us” ?
I love the fonts…Thanks!
But I can’t figure out how to do the cute signs that seem to be included with certain fonts. Is there somewhere that tells you the alt #? thanks!!
Hi Amanda!!!
What font did you use to write the title “Pea Snoflake-Doodles”??
http://kevinandamanda.com/fonts/fontsforpeas/pea-snoflake-doodles/
I love it and can’t find it anywhere!!
Thanks!!
I’m not sure if this has happened to anyone else (I’m in a rush right now and don’t have time to read the comments- sorry!) but on many of the fonts that I have downloaded, I can’t see the numbers! So I usually have to write out the number, which is aggravating… How can I fix it?!? Or, has this happened to anyone else?!?
i have my paper ready to be scanned but both my printers arent scanning it, please help.
I have used one of your fonts (hosted on webs.com) for a long time on my blog (Google blogger) . Just this week the font no longer shows up. . .do you know why this might happen?
Thanks so much!
I added your button to my new blog http://clickpaperco.blogspot.com/ and am looking forward to using your fonts on some Valentines for my shop http://www.zazzle.com/clickpaperco* and of course for my preschooler’s Valentine exchange :) LOVE your idea of collecting handwriting and turning it into fonts, they are super cute!

Hi,
Luv, luv, luv your website. Thanks for the wonderful fonts. How do I use the doodles? I am using a Mac. I get the letter instead of the doodle.
Thanks!
how do I use the doodles? how do they work?
Hello amanda.
I’m french. Sorry for my language.
If I understand well, it’s possible to have letters with accents.
“You may write any extra characters on their own line, after everything else. :)”
I have to put the letters with accents in a last line, at the bottom of the page.
Is there an order ? Which ?
Super, I will be able to right my ask for job handwriting.
Thank you.
Bonjour Amanda,
Si je comprends bien,
il est possible d’écrire en français car les accents sont disponibles..
Il faut écrire les lettres avec les accents en fin de page. Mais y a-t’il un ordre ?
Génial, je vais pouvoir faire mes demandes d’emploi manuscrites.
Merci Amanda
