New free dingbat font for die cutters

May 24, 2009 by Kay

I am proud to introduce 09 KutUps, a shapes font made especially for SCAL, MTC, Silhouette Studio and other cutting software that can cut truetype fonts. From the ground up this font was designed with diecutting in mind. Every shape has been optimized for cutting and even the font name and configuration have been chosen to make it easy to use with diecutting software.

I have been the recipient of much generosity recently. For example, in 2008 I spent a month’s worth of nights in the Ronald McDonald House near where my son was hospitalized. If you enjoy using this font, I hope you will be generous the next time this fine organization asks for your support. Download the font here. View/download the character map here. 09KutUps is free for personal and commercial use, but may not be sold or shared without my permission. Please also do me the courtesy of directing others to this blog post rather than to the box.com link. And of course, I would love to hear your comments.

7/24/09 Update: This font has become very popular, and many of you have told me that you have honored my request that you make a donation to Ronald McDonald House Charities in return. Thank you so very much. My son had to be admitted to a hospital in another distant town for the last 2 weeks. Once again the Ronald McDonald House there provided support for our family.

5/11/13 Update: This font has been downloaded tens of thousands of times and I am overwhelmed by your response to it and your willingness to honor my request. I have eliminated the mediafire link that had gotten too aggressive and switched over completely to box.net which should be a simpler download. My son has been off treatment for 3 years and ย has graduated from college and gotten married. I will forever be grateful to the Ronald McDonald House for being there is our darkest days. Thank you for your continued support!

      I use a Mac so I don’t stay up on the exact steps for Windows but the .ttf file loads like any other font so check your help files for how to install a font.

    How sweet of you to share this with us. I am in the process of learning to use SCAL and LOVE it so far.

    We actually donate to Ronald McDonald House when we lose a family member rather then sending flowers. We feel it does so much more good.

    Thanks for sharing and hugs!

    Kay,

    I am sorry that your son is again having problems. You and your son will be in my thoughts and prayers.

    I think of you often, when I am looking up Cricut videos…thinking of all the work you put into the video resource list.

    I was having problems finding the font in SCAL. I figured out that I need to install the font before it showed up. Go to control panel, fonts, then install new font. I love these shapes now that I figured out how to use them. Thank you.

    Thanks so much for sharing this great dingbat file! I got your link from Robyn at the Pink Stamper! I always donate to the Ronald McDonald House every Christmas – my niece with Downs syndrome had to have several heart surgeries in Floida when she was younger and the Ronald McDonald House was a great help to my brother-in-law’s family during that time – a tremendous, worthwhile project!! Hope everything is going well with your family!

    Thanks again!
