How to use a eps font file

Hi All,

I am slightly confused as to how i am meant to use a ESP font font file.

I have recently purchased this font:

its basically looks like this:



Would really appreciate some help!!!

Thank you

An EPS file is just a normal vector file, not a font.

Your screen shot shows it open in Illustrator so each letter is probably on its own 'layer', as such, ready for you to duplicate and / or copy & paste however you want.

Had you of opened it in Photoshop you would have had the option to set the initial size and resolution of the image to suit your needs.....Illustrator may also do this, I don't know for sure.

I don't know if each 'letter' shape would be on its own layer in Photoshop or not, but regardless, you would still have to use the same duplication technique.....each 'shape' being rasterized pixels.

It may turn out that the shapes are still editable so you can change the fill and stroke...I think the website states this but again, you still have to duplicate each 'letter' shape as you need them.

What you do not have is a font, just shapes in the style of alphabetical characters.
