Is there a place where I can type in letters to make child's names so they can colour them in please?

Thanks for any help.

Loved the train one but tried to download and all that came were two read me files and a printout of the font in different sizes, the actually program part was missing. Anybody else download this yet? Did i do something wrong?

Ok, casting my mind back to when I used to be a typographer...

Download from the website into your downloads folder.

Open the downloads folder and extract 3 files from the WinZip file you just downloaded.

Open your 'My Computer' and find 'Windows'.

Open Windows and find 'fonts'

Take the file that is called 'true type' - 2 TTs - and plonk it into fonts.

Say yes to any security messages.

You might have to re-start (depends on your system) but it should be there. It's really cute.
