Q: What is the difference between Alphabets and fonts?
A: A font is installed into your Windows system, and is accessed in the same place as the other Windows fonts (Arial, Courier, Times Roman, etc.) within your desktop publishing and word processing program. In order for the TrueType fonts to be available for use in your word processor, they must first be installed to your computer's hard drive. An Alphabet is a set of individual graphics which can be previewed in the Image Browser and can either be printed directly from the Image Browser or copied and pasted into your word processor. (Please note there are no bonus fonts with the downloadable version of Lettering Delights Supreme.)

Q: What is the easiest way to learn how to use the image browser?
A: Quick Tours. The tours will walk you through various features step by step. You are shown how a feature is used (not just give instructions). When trying a new feature, check to see if there is a Quick Tour available to help make it easier. The Quick Tours are accessed by clicking on the toolbar button that looks like a bus.

Q: Where are my bonus fonts?
A: The fonts refer to black-and-white TrueType fonts and will be found in your Windows font list. Go to any of your word-processing or desktop-publishing programs and open the font list (the same place you find Arial, Times New Roman, etc.). There you will find all of the Lettering Delights Supreme fonts. They all start with "LD, or IGS." Remember that they have to be installed before you can use them. (Please note there are no bonus fonts with the downloadable version of Lettering Delights Supreme.)

Q: What characters are available in my full color Alphabets?
A: The following characters are available in most of the full color Alphabet sets: uppercase letters, lowercase letters (sometimes a different size or color), numbers, exclamation point, pound sign, dollar sign, ampersand, left and right parentheses, question mark, quotation marks, apostrophe, dash, period and comma.

Q: Can I change an image inside the Lettering Delights Supreme program?
A: Yes ... to an extent. In the Effects Page you can alter various aspects of an image (remember Alphabets are images) such as the hue, saturation, contrast and brightness. You can also flip an image upside down or reverse it left to right. It can be a lot of fun making your own changes to images.

Q: The colors of the images look strange or are only being partially displayed.
A: It could be that your screen resolution is set to 256 colors. To improve the colors of your computer screen, go to Start, Settings, Control Panel and open the Display properties. Click the Settings tab and change the display to True Color or above.

Also, reducing your Hardware Acceleration decreases the load on your video hardware and often fixes some graphics display problems. To decrease the Hardware Acceleration go to Start, Settings, Control Panel and open the System icon. Click the Performance tab (Troubleshooting tab in Windows 2000 or XP), then Graphics and move the slider to a lower setting (or None). You will need to restart your computer for the new settings to take effect.

Q: I would like to print out "Lettering Delights Supreme" CD images and make copies of the fonts to give to friends and family. Is this okay?
A: It's fine to print out paper copies of the images and give them to others if you are not receiving any sort of monetary (or other) compensation for them. In other words, you may not resell the images in any format. You may not make copies of the CD or computer files (including fonts) and distribute them to others. This is a violation of your contract and copyright laws. Please see the License Agreement if you have any questions.

Q: I have a black-and-white printer, but the alphabets in the Image Browser are color only. Will they still print correctly?
A: A black-and-white printer will automatically convert color images to various shades of gray.

Q: I would like to use some of the fonts and/or graphics in a published or printed work. Is that okay?
A: If you are using the graphics or fonts in any way that leads to financial increase, please contact us via e-mail Support@LetteringDelights.com or fax at 801-235-9395 for information on licensing and restrictions. Please refer to the License Agreement.
