On dafont.com (and I imagine the other font sites) the authors of the font have published them as freeware or shareware. This usually means you are able to download them and use them as long as it isn't for commercial use. So as long as you aren't planning to make money from your creations, you can use the fonts. :)

Another great font for CSI fans: Fingerprints
 
right, since quoth has opened this thread, i'll ask a really dumb sounding question.
how do i use the fonts from dafont? i use gimp so how do i use a font on gimp? i have no idea and i feel very stupid.
:(
 
^^I don't use gimp but about fonts,I just download the font and put it in the fonts folder on my pc.I don't know if that makes sense for you,sorry,I can't explain it better.

I have a question,I'm searching for that multicolour tiny boxes brush as in my icon.Anybody knows where to find it?
Thanks.
 
I've been looking for some brushes, just little squares and simple stuff like that, but I can't seem to find what I want. Can someone point me in the right direction?
 
Nice new thread Ann! :)

First: a very Happy Birthday to you Hormiga! Hope you have a good one! :)

@csimonkey: when you download a font, it's mostly compressed in .zip-format, so you need WinZip to extract this data. (normally it's already on your computer - if you don't have it, here's a link where you can download a free testversion. You can use it for 45 days, after that you have to pay for it when you wanna go on using it... check out this link )

After d/l a font, open this file with win zip.
Click on 'Extract' - there you have to choose the folder in which you want to "unzip" the file.("Extract to...") Just as Eriss said, you have to write C:\Windows\Fonts

Make sure you've checked the box: "All folders/files in archive" and click on "Extract".
Now the new font should show up in your Windows Font folder and also under fonts in your graphics program. S/t it could be that you first have to reload that program or even your pc before the font shows up, so you can use it.

When you have further questions, don't hesitate to ask :D

Megan and Hormiga:

Perhaps just check out Brush Addicts' Journal, I guess I saw such brushes you're searching for on that journal.

Chloe, I'll come back to you later, will check out the fonts I used asap ;)

ETA: OK, I'm back. The font I used for CaRWash is "Shinji Blues" and the other one is "Honey Script". Credit to dafont.com
