Ok - typical RJkDism, I keep 'thinking' I've installed FreeType, however it doesn't even show up in my directory (when I hit a 'mental blind spot' I really get stuck), can anyone maybe tell me what I'm doing incorrectly please?

Are you using 64 bit Windows? FreeType is a command line program. There were issues with Windows Python and 64 bit arch. Not sure if that is your present problem, but from what I know about this GnuWin project, it's command line based. You would need to move to the FreeType directory and execute it or run a batch file.

I really appreciate your help. I can't exe FreeType (as you indicated) and although the link you gave me would be the way forward it's a 'quantum leap' in terms of knowledge for me just now. I went to college last year to learn Ms Office, I'm very late to the tech party, however, never say never, I will keep learning with help from kind people such as yourself at GimpChat.

Try out Glyphr Studio, instead. You might like it. And at least I could help you with that (a little bit, at least).
