i have purchased the butterfly kisses vol 2 and the instafontphoneart ...i have installed the font but they are more like word art and not sure how i type the font to get the word art...help would be much appreciated...i am in the middle of a layout and would like to use them
 
It's kind of tricky, you just press the letters until you see the one you want. Each letter corresponds to a word art, some of them have a key in the preview to show you which letter equals what.
 
i got it now ..thanks...it would be nice if they all have a key in the preview... it takes time to go thru the alphabet finding the one you want..hope in the future they all have a key..thanks again

most have these (i'm guilty of not on mine..will add shortly); however, we will let the designers know this is helpful to users! :)
 
Just another idea - I keep a PSD/TIF file saved on my desktop with all of the characters typed out. When I want to use one of the fonts with symbols (like the mobile fonts), I just open the file and change it to that font. Then I copy and past whichever item I want to use.

And another, in Windows, is to try loading the character map (from start- accessories - system tools) and you can select the font you want to use and see the characters you'd need to type.
