WOOHOO! We've got NEW FONTS!  Thank you sooooo much Zazzle. Along with my other font addicts, I feel like I received a $100 gift card 😀. You heard our outcries of despair. Will not need to use transparent images for fonts as frequently. Keep em' coming!

What does that mean? Text-based designs aren't really my thing but I feel like this is a tip/trick I should know?

This pretty certainly means creating the texts in a graphic/image editing software and inserting as transparent PNG - I personally would use vector-based PDF for that. You cannot edit the text on Z, of course.

You got my Kudos for the new - great - implementation and extended choice in the other post mentioning the favorites. Love many of the new adds, but the cut in the distressed section was too heavy, which is sad.

If there are no licensing issues involved, may you please bring back the following 4 distressed fonts?
There are no real substitutes and they are useful ones. Thanks!

  • "SHORTCUT" - very nicely shaped and compressed sans serif font - better than "Eroxion"
  • "DISGUSTING BEHAVIOR" - fun "scratch"-style font, great for Halloween and Horror themed designs.
  • "CHIC DECAY" and "PORCELAIN" - two nice distressed script fonts for large vintage "background" Monograms.

Thank you! And again, awesome job!

Yes, please, please don't get rid of Chic Decay... I have used it quite extensively. It's was the only fancy distressed font that I thought looked readable and good for monograms...

Thank you, Zazzle. Yes, totally love the new options.
However it looks like we lost the beautiful Blooming Elegant script font, which was the only font that could create these nice swirls in front and after a word. I don't see anything that replaces this option. What is sort of doing that, but not as well, is a font that is much thinner (Morgana) and now looks really horrible in all designs (a lot!) in which I used the Blooming font. 
Is there a tutorial anywhere that maybe shows options to have other fonts behaving like that?
Thanks.

Blooming Elegant both of this have gone 😭 NOooo I have a whole range with this font that sells well for me. 😱Whilst new fonts are good, I am not loving the removal of such a popular font it is a nightmare, I right in the middle of doing a new colorway too 😬! I noticed the ones I have still look ok for now but what happens if they are printed and the font has gone now? I have hundreds affected.... help...

I am STUNNED that they got rid of THE most common font family on Zazzle! So far, they haven't hit my store yet, all my existing products that use it still have Blooming Elegant, even though it's not showing up on the list.

I see new script fonts, but alas, still nothing to go with them except bookish-type serifs and memo-type sans serifs. Is this everything, then? (Scrolls way down later...) OH NEVER MIND it looks like the scripts are just the start, or I hope I'm reading that right.

Wanted to work on some Halloween stuff and I've just realized that the cut in the Distressed font dept. is worse than expected. With a few exceptions, the distressed selection has become very basic, with no true highlights for grunge or "creepy" designs. Again, please, please, bring back the fonts you dismissed with exception of the ones that may cause licensing or technical issues. Or replace them with a featured selection of nice ones, like you did in the Scripts section (a ton of great fonts there now, btw). There must not be a ton, a few different, good-looking ones for some variation is enough (think of Halloween, Horror, Gothic style...). Thanks!
