How do I 'drag' a font from the control panel to my email, to put in a message?




I have to send a font example to a jeweller - he told me to 'drag' it from the control panel but it's not working! Help!

How do I 'drag' a font from the control panel to my email, to put in a message?
take a screenshot of something written in that font and email him a jpg of it. you can't drag a font file into an email and have it show.
Reply:If you are using a web browser for an email client you will not be able to "drag" a font into your client. From Outlook you can select the font when you've have started to compose an email. ("Basic text" in Office 2007) This is similar for Outlook 2003, XP and so con, Microsoft Mail and Outlook Express. This is also true for Entourage which has a drop down list in upper left hand corner of the message closest to the body of the message. Apple Mail has a fonts button that opens into a separate box.





You can drag fonts into your windows fonts folder but I don't know if dragging them out into the body of any email client will only let you send them as an attachment.






Reply:If you want to attach the actual font file to an email I'd advice you to find the font file that you want to attach and make a zip of it before attaching it to your email as some emails may block out font files.


When your jeweler then receives the email he'll unzip the font file and check it out.





If it's just a matter of showing how the font looks like (i.e. the jeweler won't be using it to write anything on his computer) then you might as well write down the alphabet with your font and then take a screen shot of the document and send the picture to your jeweler.
Reply:He means attach the font into the email. So on the email just click on the attachments button... a file browser will pop-up then you choose the file you want and say attach.


Send the email and the jewler will have a copy of the font.



Reply:you could try highlighting it with the mouse, copying it and pasting it in the email or jyust takea a pic on your phone, and email that off
