need letter set - 3/16" - (if on stamp not reversed)

all i can think of is maybe some toys. i've acquired some letters to use for stamps - larger ones - from thrift store toy sections.

possibly e-bay, or matel toys?

i also once did a personal business card from using dry alphabet letters. maybe you could exploit them for your project?

Hi Kim

You don't say what you need these for.

What I do, is I download free fonts from the internet now and then - and use fontlister.com 's program to test out my desired text in various fonts. When I find a few I want to consider further, I type them into Word.

Then in Word I choose the text I want and adjust it to the size I want. Then print and use a pin around the edges to copy it onto my clay.

Then gouge out the letters.

Not sure if this is a reasonable method for your project

interesting idea, i suppose one could even print out fancy fonts & use them as templates to cut out larger stamps on cardboard. coat-paint them later with varnish or something.

I love using fonts---I have a table I made in word wthat will display all the dingbat fonts I use with each corresponding letter in arial so I can see what design each letter produces. So far I have over 900 fonts and 100 of them are dingbat fonts. Once I have things I want--even possibly letter sets, like this one---I have stamps made for me at ReadyStamps in San Diego. I use freeware or shareware with permissions only---and there's a LOT of those out there! They make fabulous stamps for use on paper, clay, or fabric---not expensive, either! REady Stamps is NOT my business--its part of the Cerebral Palsy Association and is a sheltered workshop, so pleasse send orders to THEM, not to me. Its all on a page I built for them, including an order form to make it easy.

So, lets start a new thread on "where's your favorite fonts to be found..?"

I guess ReadyStamps doesn't send abroad?

Here's a selection from my bookmarked font sites:
