Tips:
- The Samantha Font has hundreds of glyphs, with as many as 20 different options for ONE letter of the alphabet. It is never free. The Samantha font on dafont is not "the" Samantha font.
- How to Find & Use Font Glyphs
- Fonts With Easy Glyphs - No character map needed
- Using FontLab Pad To Properly Space Fonts (It's FREE!)
- Often the free fonts at Dafont do not come with all of the extra glyphs - even if the tails are shown in the font title
- Always choose the OTF version of a font when it is an option, they sometimes have more glyphs than the ttf version.

No Character Map Needed
===================
A character map is not necessary for this font, but it can be useful. The example above was done with no character map, that is simply the result from typing the text.
Although a character map is useful for Miss Fajardose, it is not essential.
No character map is needed for Chopin Script
No character map is needed for Precious. Only the capital letters are super fancy.
Magnolia Sky, Free on Dafont, is one of the most popular fonts in cricut groups.
Autumn in November is another hugely popular choice - it cuts well with cricut.
The extra swashes for Bromello are only available on the full, paid, version. But the free verson is another great font that cuts well for cricut projects.
Starfish is pretty as is, but if you are willing to use a character map (as is needed to use Samantha) there are a couple of extra options. Not many, but the t shown here is one of the extras.
