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  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!

      Amy,
      On a Mac, just double click on it and the click on the install button. Be sure you have downloaded the .ttf file and not just the pdf guide file.

    This font is awesome! Thank you so much. I, too, have benefitted from the availability of Ronald McDonald house. I haven’t donated in a while and this was a good reminder. My $50 donation is on the way to them!

      Annette,
      Please read the paragraph text carefully to help you select the right files. The download links are on the word “here.” This will take you to mediafire for the download. Look past the popups for the link there. Can’t be more specific because it will depend on your browser.

    Oh I’ soooooo sad…..I really wanted the fonts but after I download the file the .ttf is emply except for some numbers, but there are no images.

    Help! ! ! !

    • Kay says

      January 20, 2010 at 1:55 pm

      Sandra,
      I just doublechecked and the font is fine. No one else has reported a problem either, so please check font installation/tech support for the program you are trying to see it in.

    I am so dissapointed, I got a new computer and lost the download to your wonderful font. Is it no longer available? I used this font/dingbat creation all the time and it is the best! Please make it available again!!!

    Thanks

      Not sure what you mean. The font is still available and free as always.
