That will tell the machine to write it as one smooth word, and not to write each letter individually. If you are using a cursive font, be sure to weld it before writing. DrawingFonts - Cricut can DRAW, not just write! Checkout these fun fonts that cricut does a great job drawing (think subway art, or posters).I only install a few that I use frequently and know space "normally" or without too much effort. I keep my writing fonts in zip files in a folder, then use fontlab pad (which can read the fonts right from the zip files!) to create my text and upload it to design space.
Using Fontlab Pad - Design space does not read fonts properly, so if you install them and use them in design space, there will be weird spacings in many of these fonts.
Alternative (not cricut brand) markers that work well in the Explore Machines. I make most of my samples at 1 inch tall, and they are sorted by which pens I used - Starting with the super thin precise v5 and working down to the larger markers. Results will vary based on which pen you use, and how large your text is. You can avoid this by using a writing font in Cricut Design Space (Most cost around $5) OR, by choosing a free font thin enough that the lines "collapse on themselves" (Those are the fonts listed here) The Problem - Hollow Text - The Cricut machine, when writing, will follow the same path it would if it was cutting.
