    Help with siggy.

    Hey guys!

    I'm fine with my siggy size, but I was wondering: what do I need to do to etch my name on the siggy. Any feedback would be appreciated, thanks.

    Not sure of any freeware programs other than GIMP (http://www.gimp.org). I number of use Photoshop whilst others use Paintshop Pro.

    Here are some quick samples with various fonts (don't have that many good ones on this computer).

    You can download Gimp to do it, or just use Paint. That's a standard Windows program and will work fine.

    The easiest way is to just use one of Gnomey's that he provided!!!!

    GIMP can be difficult with the fonts but the Paint program that comes with just about every PC can do it.

    Thanks for the input guys, I'm going to try GIMP.

    Edit: I'm going to use Gnomey's example for my siggy. Thanks for the siggy Gnomey!

    Catch 22 sent me a new siggy, so I'm probably going to jump back and forth with the siggys for a little bit. Thanks for the help guys.

    They do look small, but I don't mind.

    Here's some Cyrillic fonts:Cyrillic Fonts on the Internet

    While Cyrillic is kinda cool looking and all, it's just about impossible to read!

    As far as the sig goes, it looks great!
