You can use the Gingerbread Borders
or Framemaker fonts to make a variety
of fancy frames, buttons, dividers, and borders.
To make a simple square frame, start out with the corner areas.
The example shown below uses the font Ann's
Gingerbread Borders Three at 36 point, leading set to 36.
|
|
To make the frame wider, add Es in the top row and Fs in
the bottom row.
|
|
To make the frame longer, add Gs in the left column and Hs
in the right column. Use the space bar to add space in the center.
