What graphics software are you using? If you are using Paint Shop Pro, using fonts is easy. All you have to do is open the text tool. You can then select the font you want, and the size of the lettering. Then, all you have to do is type in your text, and align it where you want it on your textures. Check out Paint Shop Pro's help section in your software. It gives detailed instructions on using the text tool. Hope that helps (might not if you're not using PSP, though.)Grizzly

There are any number of ways to apply fonts to cars. I even have a billboard reefer with a photo on it. Depending on what software you use you can do this. A combination of Photo Suite 8 and Wordperfect(for fonts) and screen capture is what I use and it works great. Check out the photo I emailed you of one railcar I did. All fonts were created that way. let me know if you have any questions.
