How do I use these fonts??!
The Fonts for Peas and Free Scrapbook Fonts can be used in *any* program where you normally use fonts. To name just a few of the many examples: You can use them in word processing programs like Microsoft Word, Word Perfect, or OpenOffice. Or you can use them in photo editing programs like MS Paint, Corel Paint Shop Pro, Adobe Photoshop, Photofiltre, the Gimp, and many, many more.
The fonts can also be used on a Blogger/Blogspot blog. Here’s how.
For a step-by-step picture tutorial on how to download and install the fonts, please select your operating system:
 Windows XP |
 Windows Vista |
 Mac OSX |
If your operating system is not listed above, do a Google search for:
“How to download and install fonts in _______________” and fill in the blank with your operating system
(i.e. Windows 98)
*After downloading and installing, if you have done it properly, the fonts will show up in the font drop down box in your favorite program that uses fonts.
Okay, I’ve downloaded and installed the fonts!
Now how do I use them in my scrapbook?
Here are a couple articles to get you started. Pretty soon you’ll be fonting like a pro! 
Computer Journaling Basics – This informative article from Denise Gormish at Scrapjazz.com goes over the basics of using fonts in a word processing program, then printing them out to use in your traditional, paper and scissors scrapbook. 
How to use Fonts in a Photo Editing Program – Jen Strange offers this great article on how to use fonts in Adobe Photoshop. This is a great resource if you want to use fonts in Digital Scrapbooking or to make an image using fonts and text to make, for example, a blog banner for your blog!

First off, your fonts are great ! My favorite was Pea Weenie. I was wondering, if it was possible, could you use these fonts on websits, like myspace, or facebook ? If so, how ?
Thanks very much, Shade’

Are you able to use these fonts in Blogger? I tried figuring it out on my own to no avail.

How do you download and install all of the fonts at the same time?
Saturday, 14. February 2009 at 3:50:12 pm
Kelsie,
1. Click the Download All button in the sidebar
2. Unzip the file
3. Move all the fonts in the newly unzipped folder to your C:\Windows\Fonts folder
Sunday, 15. February 2009 at 6:18:31 pm
Hi, do you have to pay for using these fonts?
Sunday, 15. February 2009 at 6:20:58 pm
All fonts are completely free and contain NO spyware, adware, viruses, spam or malware of any kind. Just click to freely download any font you want!

I have enjoyed looking at all the fonts, but how do you get to use them in GIMP?

Hello,
Your website is amazing. I am in the process of starting my own business doing some personalized children’s art work and custom photo cards. If I download these fonts will I be able to resell them?
THank YOu!

I have embedded the code for changing my fonts on my blog and it was working at first but all of a sudden it stopped. Can you think of why that might happen. I have everything uploaded to my website that is suppose to be there and have altered the blogger.js template to reflect the font I want, etc.
Like I said — it was working at first and now it has stopped and I’m not sure why. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I LOVE your fonts, btw.
Hugs,
Sharon

Thursday, 23. July 2009 at 5:59:34 pm
I love your fonts, but, can’t download them. When I click “download font”..it doesn’t show them as a Zip file, but, a Word Document.
Is that my computer or the font?
Saturday, 25. July 2009 at 9:55:43 pm
Amanda,
I love love LOVE your fonts! The only thing I’m having trouble with, is I have a 3 column blog and when I put the cute font as my titles, it’s only on one of the columns! I think I remember seeing something on here about it, but I can’t find it now! Could you please help me?

I found your website today (by accident) and think it is so awesome! You do a great job and I love it. I esp. love all the handwriting fonts. Thank you for taking the time to put these on your site.
Wednesday, 19. August 2009 at 9:02:45 pm
I love your fonts, but I can’t download them. For some reason, I can only download the ttf. files, and my computer doesn’t unzip files. I have tried, but whenever I click “open,” it says that my computer can’t open it. Is there any way you know of to fix this?
Monday, 31. August 2009 at 9:16:16 pm
This is Awesome!
I’m gonna love to learn how to
use these New Fonts.
I love handwriting. It looks pretty.
I’m so glad I surf.
Thank You.
Wednesday, 2. September 2009 at 3:47:19 pm
how do you unzip the files??
Sunday, 6. September 2009 at 11:22:27 am
Amanda,
I can’t get my second font to show. When I put the it will show the design font but not what I typed in my post.Help me please!
Thursday, 10. September 2009 at 9:02:12 pm
Thanks for all your hard work. Can’t wait to use it on my blog. I will be sure to add your button. Thanks again!
Saturday, 12. September 2009 at 4:46:40 pm
Hi Amanda!
I just stumbled upon your website and I fell in love with the cute fonts!!! In attempting to extract them, however, a box pops up saying the font file is password protected. Is there a key word I need to type into that box – or does it mean I can’t download the font? Thanks for taking the time to reply — it sure appears you are quite busy but bursting with tons of great ideas!
Thanks & God bless, ~krista
Friday, 18. September 2009 at 12:54:18 pm
If anyone is wondering how to use these in Linux: download them and unzip them into a folder called .fonts (the full stop / period in front is important) in your home directory. So if your user name is bob that would be /home/bob/.fonts/
Just in case anyone was wondering!
Tuesday, 22. September 2009 at 10:31:06 am
So kind.
So generous.
So appreciated!

Hi, I downloaded my fonts in the font folder, but how do I use them now? They are not showing up on my word.
Friday, 30. October 2009 at 11:44:52 am
I’m having trouble using the doodles. How do I know which doodle is associated with which key on the keyboard? I’m trying to use them in Creative Memories Storybook Creator Plus. The fonts all work fine, I’d just like to also use the doodles occasionally. LOVE your site. You are so talented…and like your new ride too!
Sunday, 1. November 2009 at 8:54:19 pm

just curious which font you chose to use on the right hand side, under your picture?? i didnt find one that was exactly the same, and i looooove it!
Monday, 23. November 2009 at 3:21:16 am
How do I use the doodles? I have a Mac OSX- do they download the same way and are they stored under the fonts section as well? Also, can you recommend a photo editing program and a digital scrapbook site for MAC users? Thanks so much for your wonderful fonts!!
Thursday, 3. December 2009 at 10:14:55 pm
I have downloaded these wonderful fonts!!! However, when I try to select it to do the next step, It will not highlight. What am I doing wrong? Will this allow me to use this in my post also? I had downloaded some other fonts a while back that went right into my “fonts” in blogger. Will these do this as well? I am wanting a unique blog for my students.
Thanks so much for your hard work.
Friday, 4. December 2009 at 8:45:00 pm

It just a page of word only.
Wednesday, 9. December 2009 at 6:42:35 pm
I love these fonts, thanks
Thursday, 10. December 2009 at 8:07:35 am
Hi Amanda,

I’m trying to download one of your fonts to use in Photoshop. I extracted the font to my desktop, but can’t figure out how to install it. I right click on it, and there’s no ‘install’ to click on. Any help would be much appreciated.
Wednesday, 30. December 2009 at 8:09:47 am
You now have me excited about creating a receipe book for my sons. They have been bugging me and I had no idea where to start. Thanks for the wonderful fonts. I now have my start…..
Sunday, 3. January 2010 at 6:41:51 am
Oh golly, as I grow old, so grows my brain. Firstly, I love reading about you and yours…
Somewhere, while browsing your website comments,I saw a twelve year old posting a question. How cool is that! I am 70 and feel like I am getting a free collage education from the Internet. Never too late and wishing I were 12…
I posted a question, yesterday or the day before. Now, I can’t locate my post–and, can’t remember what the question was (lol). BUT, I know it was important and will come back to me. Would it be possible to have one search for their user name on you website to locate their question?
Sunday, 3. January 2010 at 10:44:45 am
oh my gosh!! i’m so excited. i just downloaded ALL of the fonts!! as part of my new year’s goals [i never make resolutions haha] i wanted to start a project 365 and really get into my blogging more. so now i’m searching everywhere to try and make it better. i’ve followed your blog for a while & have your button on my page. i am so thrilled that now i have all these amazing fonts to use on my page and anywhere else. thank you sooo much!!! you just made it into my day 3 of 365
Wednesday, 6. January 2010 at 11:21:29 pm
