When you think of a font that you use with your computer, you would likely think of those installable collections of characters that you can then select from a drop-down menu in your software and type away with your swishy new text style.
These are known as either .TTF (True Type Font) or .OTF (Open Type Font).
But what are single line fonts, where do we find them and how do we use them?
