Hi Doug,
You're right about the fonts approach....I have actually used fonts
inside of Hexagon (using the copy along path feature) and have gotten
some nice results. But I was hoping to see if I could find some
*really* intricate ironworks style patterns somwhere that doesn't take
too much time to implement. As far as Illustrator goes, that may be
too involved as far as time goes, for what I want to do and would get
out of it (I am not a heavy Illustrator user). But your earlier Dover
web site suggestion is also a good option as well.
Thanks for the suggestions.
