OK.
There is also the possibility of going beyond just an installed font, by converting the text to curves and then doing something "artistic" with it. See for example here:

I was looking for some like F & G! I'm amazed at how little I have here! I need to get more fonts.
I'm done for now. I'm gonna draw one up on paper and scan it... as soon as I find a scanner I can use.
It'll be a while, I'm in the public library using the Ethernet because I'm tired of losing the darn signal - which has been happening only when I go to submit a post since yesterday. I couldn't get him to fix it because he was out at a Christmas party yesterday and hasn't come back yet.

D looks like it MIGHT say Ander's or Andor's depending on individual perception.
