What font did JohnB use? - Scroll Saw Woodworking & Crafts Message Board

John,
I am going to make a couple of "my 1st Christmas" ornaments, but I would also like to make an "OUR 1st Christmas" ornament for a young gal I work with that got married this year. What font did you use for this? I'd like to try to patch in "our" for "my" if I can (I don't want to reinvent the wheel if I don't have to). TIA.

WD, I tried sending a PM (a week ago) and never got a reply. Unless one of you recognize the font, I guess I'll have to reinvent the wheel.

I sent John a message on FB.

G'day Bruce,
I did get your message, I've been hunting for the font. I didn't make a note of it. I eventually found it. It's called "VictorianD" . I hunted all over the net so I could give you a link to down load it, but it is a commercial font. I don't know what programme it came with, as I had it on my back up drive, which I had backed up all my info from my previous computer on.
I have been mucking about with the Decoration for you. Altering the words to "Our" and making it slightly larger so that 2" photo insert will fit
It's funny but I actually started doing this some time ago, but put it on the back burner because I couldn't locate the font

.

I have the VictorianD font John if you need it let me know.
