Field notes

The interface includes size entry in millimeters or inches, plus letter spacing, line height, and margin controls. Its FAQ notes that script letters can overlap as separate shapes and may need a Weld or union operation to avoid cutting the overlap twice. The page also says each font's license is shown in the picker and describes the fonts as Google Fonts.
