Fonts With Tails (Glyphs) Cheat Sheet

Cheat Sheets for "Easy Glyph" Fonts with Tails.  No Character map needed, for these fonts you simply type characters like [ ] or ( ) to add the extra tails or swirls.
Links to download each font are found under the photos

Quick Tips:
  • These are "easy glyph" fonts, but many fonts with extra glyphs will require a character map.  you can read more about how to use those here
  • Sometimes a font preview on dafont will show pretty tails, but you will not see them when you download the font.  Dafont Fonts are frequently Free Demo Versions of commercial use fonts.  The Demo versions usually do not include all of the extra glyphs.
  • Some fonts, like All The Roll, have ligatures—special effects that occur when you type certain letter combinations.  You will never see these features in Design Space—use a free program like fontlab pad to display and space your system fonts properly and save as an svg.

Plastic Beauty comes in two versions.  You want the LIGHT version if you are using a cutting machine such as cricut or silhouette.  The regular version will probably work too - but it has so many extra cuts (distressing) in it that it will take a long time to cut, and will be miserable to weed.

This is NOT an "easy glyph" font - for this one you would need a character map to access the glyphs.
I'm including it because it's a pretty commercial use font with the "splashes" shown in the easy glyph fonts above.

Whale Song
Just in case you'd like a whale with your splash.  :-)
To get the whale, you can type a variety of things - & , 4, 5, < }..  all the same whale

      you can either right click and download the photos, or there is a link to the pdf files near the top of the post (above the first full chart, below the photos of just the tails - those have not been added to my charts yet)

      Often the fonts on dafont are not full versions of the font. That's the case with Leisha, the tails are not included in the free download from dafont. You could add the swashes from another font - or you could download the full version of Leisha. The full version is $12 - https://crmrkt.com/2mQXEA

    I have a Mac. How can I use the glyphs (for example the "r" in Buttercup with the swirls underneath) in FontLab? I've tried dragging and dropping as well as cut/paste. Nothing is working.

      You have to open your character map. I don't use Apple devices, but I have heard that Mac has a good built in character map. On windows, I recommend using maintype logic's free character map. Then you copy and paste from the character map. Make sure you have the font already selected in fontlab pad - it has to be the exact same font you are copying from the character map.

    I usually catch on pretty good but i followed your intructions, downloaded and paid for Samantha Craft, then installed maintype character map along with fontlab pad. I can't seem to pull up the font and the get the swirly letters to show in the character map. What am I doin wrong? I'm using Windows 10. Thank you!

    What do you see in the character map when you look at Samantha Craft? I can't post photos in the comments here - but I have screenshots step by step here - https://fieldsofhether.blogspot.com/2017/11/using-samantha-font-in-cricut-design.html

      WhatTheFont will sometimes give pretty good ideas as to what font it is by evaluating a jpg.

    Hello, how do we find the Capital Letters/Uppercase for the beginning of a letter that has a gyphs or swash? I can't find it. Thanks

    It's odd that they don't actually have tails. I've checked 15 so far and I'm guessing the others won't either.

      Are you entering the proper character, as shown on the charts, for the tails to appear? I've tested all of these myself - they all work for me just as shown in my cheat sheets...
