Mediaeval font for carving

Postby Mike G » 22 Aug 2017, 16:39

Does anyone know a decent "Olde Englyshe"-type font for carving names and dates etc? I must be able to import it into Draftsight or Open Office, too, and scale it up.

If an MDF Unicorn were to flatulate, I'd wear a mask!

If regular unicorns crap rainbows, does this stuff come from MDF unicorns?
