New fonts from the Lost Type Co-op
I see that the Lost Type Co-op has added some new fonts since the last time I was browsing over there. Check out Arvil and Lavanderia in particular. To download them, you can make a donation to the designer in any amount or enter "0" for a freebie.

HA! Totally my fault. There, I fixed the spelling in the post.
OOOO! I like Lavanderia! It may be a promising font to add to my favorites for cuttin with my Silhouette!

Is anyone else having trouble with the alternative characters showing up in mid-word? I can't figure out how to get certain letters like "a," "e," "r" without the extra flourish.
Hi KV. I haven't tested these typefaces yet, so I'd suggest contacting the folks at Lost Type if you're having trouble. Be sure to tell them which font you're talking about, too.

And Barbara, I HAVE seen it and it makes me very happy. :)
SWEET thanks for the update! I love their fonts.
Thanks for sharing! :)
Sory, newbie here, but I am totaly not sure how this downlading fonts works. So I went on the website, types in 5 (as in donation) and then it brought to to a page and it was said; downloading. And there was an email thingy to, so I gave them my email. But anyway, I just went onto MICROSOFT WORD nad ut wasn't there. I downlaoded t again. WHATS HAPPENING????!!!
Thanks for posting these. Lavanderia is very pretty. I already installed them both on my Mac. Yay!
Hi Geneverver, no worries. In addition to downloading the font, you'll need to actually install it on your computer. Here's a website with some instructions for how to install a font. Follow the directions for the kind of computer you have.

These are lovely! Thanks so much for sharing this with everyone! four pillars of destiny
Thanks!
FYI: if you have the same problem I did, go to the "Character" drop down in Indesign, then "OpenType," then unclick "Contextual Alternatives."
Thank you! I bought two, and used them on my Christmas card!
Thanks! Lavenderia is really pretty.
Oh! New gorgeous fonts, thanks for these :) :)
I LOVE Lost Type. Just downloaded Lavanderia last week. I used a few others to make this printable:

Lyndsay, thanks for sharing!
Lavanderia is broken. Have all three weights installed on my system but only the Delicate weight is available in font lists. This is a pity since it's such a beautiful font.
All three weights plus the Open Type features (contextual alternates, swash, etc) work for me; I downloaded it when I posted this last month. If something isn't working, you can contact the Lost Type Co-op and I bet they can help you.
i'm having the same issue KV is having but i am using photoshop (its all i have, and i'm a newbie at that too) also on the preview thing on the website it had a think where the t and the h connected together when side by side. how do i use that.... oh and when i use the font in microsoft word. i dont have the problem with the extra flourishes
