Thank you! This is exactly what I was looking for. I knew about the character map on my computer, but also hated how tiny it is. It never occurred to me that there could be a better program out there - this is so helpful!

Thanks Kayla I am always learning new things can’t believe there are endless things to do with your Cricut! 😍

Why I can't paste everything else work. What I'm doing wrong?

I get so many tips from you that are actually useful!! Since subscribing I've followed a ton of your tutorials just to familiarize with Design Space. Thank you!

Kayla, I feel like I know a good amount about the inner workings and tricks of design space and supporting programs, however without fail, I learn something extremely insightful from each one of your videos. You are truly an expert in your field and deliver the content directly and interestingly. Thank you!

This is super helpful! I discovered while following along that you can select all the letters you want from the Character Map and then paste the whole word into your project space (you do need to have a textbox already open, though)! Saved a little time and work.

Thank you so much for showing this! Others have just said "use character map" but this shows us how! Plus it's Windows, so thank you, thank you!

THANK YOU!!! Oh my goodness I have spent 3 frustrating months trying to find an easy way to access all my font "extras" for my PC. If I had to watch one more MAC user recommend fontbook, I was gonna scream, and along comes your video! This is seriously life changing for a Cricut lover

I'm so glad it was helpful!!! :) :) It's definitely a game changer being able to use all the extra glyphs!

You completely saved me in doing projects for my daughter's wedding using my new Cricut Maker! THANK YOU!!! From where to get fonts, different apps, how to use them, so easy to understand!

Windows UWP made an update. Instead of saying copy there is two squares below the letter that is selected. When you hover over it, it'll say "copy to clipboard." Select that. Once you select that you can go into Cricut Design Space. Highlight over the letter you want changed and select Ctrl + V. Design Space won't let you right click on with your mouse anymore but you can use your hot keys. Let me know on this comment if you have any questions and I'll try to help! :) I also get a lot of questions on which Samantha font I bought. It is the Samantha Upright version. I have a link in the description box.

Hey all! (Windows users) For those of you struggling to get the font to paste to Cricut Design space from Character Map this is for you. Make sure your font is set to the font your trying to copy and paste out of character map to Design Space. If it is not set to that font it will not paste it correctly in cricut design space. Hope this helps!

Thank you so much for this! I had tried doing a “character map” in excel!! Won’t be wasting my time on that!!

Thanks so much. I've been wondering about how to get decorative flourishes for a while. And fantastic that this was for Windows because that's just what I needed :D

YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW MANY MONTHS AND KZread VIDEOS I'VE WATCHED AND WASTED AND YOURS WAS THE ONLY ONE THAT WORKED I'M SO THANKFUL THANK YOU SO MUCH! EVERYONE ELSE WAS MAC N THE ONES THAT WERE WINDOWS DID NOT WORK FOR ME! THANK YOU!!!!!

I never thought of using character maps to do this kind of stuff! The one thing is, you have to have a font with this many different characters to actually have this work; the fonts downloadable for free don’t normally have too many of these options, and if there are, there are normally guides you get in the file download that show you how to get them to come up. Just putting that out there for the rest of y’all crafty ladies

@SimmonsFam-OR

Жыл бұрын

That is to suggest you are going to keep those guides handy and all of the random codes readily available per flourish, vs. being able to copy and paste out of this much more handy app that I didn't know existed before this helpful video. Actually a good percentage of the free fonts have flourishes.

Great walk through. Please may I make a suggestion. When repositioning the individual letters either use the left and right cursor keys or hold down shift while you drag the letters. This keeps their vertical position exactly what it should be for the embellishments to line up. Clearly there may be occasions when, artistically, you want to alter the vertical positioning.

Thank you so much for this. I have over a hundred different fonts and it was really difficult going through on Cricket to figure out which one to use. Now, with your wonderful info it will be so much easier thank you, thank you and in case I didn't say it enough , Thank you. Have a wonderful day.

Thank you!!! I didn't even know this was a method to make font nicer. Its helping me out so much!! I had to get a few french accented letters and had no idea lol. THANK YOU!

I can’t wait to use this. It will open up a lot of beautiful options for my projects

Thank you for sharing! I am new to my cricut and this helps so much!?!

Gosh- I was totally lost since most of the tutorials show how to make a cake topper, but none mention the character map. Thank you for a clear and concise tutorial.

For a first time cricut maker user this is perfect for print and cut and vinyl uses. Thanks so much!

Thank you! Thank you! thank you! I have struggled to figure out character map and glyphs. Your video made it so easy!

I tried following the steps you said however because there is an update it’s very different. I was trying to figure it and went back to your video. I noticed that you spoke about the update in your description box and even though I tried that, it still did not work for me. When I press to paste, the image that shows up is a little floppy disk. The only way I was able to make this work for me was actually to save the image of the letter I want. You can save as a PNG or SVG. From there, go into Cricut Space and click on upload so you can upload your image. All you have to do after is size it and attach it to the rest of your letters. It was a hassle and it took me over an hour to figure and fix it but I got it.

Uggh that is a bummer. I was hoping it would be easy

I was wondering why I couldn’t copy paste a letter within a word and this was Cricut’s response, for those who may be interested..., You can't paste letters in Design Space. It's not that the feature was removed, it's just that it only worked on the web version of Design Space. Unless you wanted to use the web version while that was still active, then you won't be able to paste letters. You would only be able to change individual letters by ungrouping them. I will submit feedback about that so hopefully, it is added to the desktop version in the future. I do not know when or if that feature would be added.
