@Hatryst – Both of those were already linked in at the end of this post. ^_^ I just need to see about getting this post linked into both of those now that it has went live. ~_^
Huh? How did i miss that? :D
@Hatryst – It must have been all of those pretty fonts keeping your eyes distracted. ~_^
Does anyone have or know of a free desktop reminder that has no bells, no whistles, no emails, no nothing except a place to set reminder for a 1, 2 or 3 years. I had a wonderful desktop reminder but when my computer crashed the program died and I cannot remember its’ name.
Thank You.

Brilliant selection of Xmas fonts, many thanks
@ladyretreat – The wonderful people in our forums will be able to help answer your question. ^_^

@HermitPete – You are very welcome and I am happy to know that you enjoyed the selection. ^_^ There were so many good ones to choose from that it was difficult to cut it down to these 20 choices!
very nice
Ladyretreat You might want to look at ‘Stickies’ http://www.zhornsoftware.co.uk/stickies/
Got it on all my machines for last 4yrs or so & ‘Free’ to boot. Use it simple plain jane or check out some of it’s advanced features if looking for further customization. Nothing to buy even in advanced use..
i am on vista. cannot find where to load the fonts, only where it says on each one to download. when i tried a download it did not go into the fonts section, it just went into my personal folder. help. by the way, am using firefox as browser if that makes any difference.
@Paula Morgan – You can see how to install your new fonts here. ^_^

How do you download on a mac? It says that it doesn’t recognize the file type.
@ladyretreat…do a search of “Rainlendar2″ and download for an issue-free, ad-free program download – install and enjoy. Sits anywhere you’d like it on your desktop and is a very intuitive and handy tool.
Happy New Year.
Merry Christmas to you all from me.
@Perky – I have a couple of people that I am asking about your question right now. ^_^
as usual it isn’t as simple for me ! I have Win 7, using Chrome browser, when I download it only gives me a zip file to use…not the easy way the instructions say it’s done.. I don’t know anything about zip files, only that I have never been able to figure out how to deal with them =-( Can I find another easy way to dnld these fonts??
Thanks for the Snowdrift font. Just what I needed!
Thank you very much for sharing these! Merry Christmas!

If you use fire fox there is an add on called reminderfox. Works great not a lot of bells and whistles jst a simple reminder that sits in your task bar an pops up when you tell it to.
