Tips for Using Free Halloween Fonts
Here are some tips to ensure that crafters get the most from free Halloween fonts:
- Highly decorative Halloween fonts are best used with simple and easy to recognize words. Use less fancy Halloween fonts to impart important information such as the address on an invitation.
- Check the terms of the font license before using the fonts commercially. Free fonts are not necessarily free for commercial use. When using Halloween fonts to make items to sell, such as cards or scrapbook layouts, keep records of the font license for future reference.
- Be careful when downloading anything from the Internet, including free fonts. Only download fonts from reputable sites and in recognized formats.
- Use a font manager to keep track of fonts. This is useful when working with a wide variety of fonts. Another good way to record fonts is to print a short extract of text in different fonts and store this in a folder for reference.
