Using the pen tool.

PLEASE, what is the best font when using the pen tool to get a single line? If the answer is already in the forum, please point me to it. I'm using MTC
Thanks.

I believe there are some single line fonts on the MTC forum. Maybe four or five someone made.

I think CleaverSomeDay has some single line fonts on her blog.

You may want to search her blog for others.. but that should get you started.

Hi. I sampled a bunch of fonts with my pen tool last month. You can find a list of the ones that worked well for me on my blog, here: http://www.shrinkingmimsy.blogspot.com/ ... fonts.html.

Thanks Rachell, Elizabeth and Diane. I just grabbed a bunch of the fonts recommended (and downloaded Rach's zip file). This is one thing that I want to do more of but get so frustrated with which fonts to use and which pen to use for which font, etc. This will make it so much easier!
