Is there a font to make letters in nic nac? Nic nac, the little sweeties we give to our children, for Santa Claus.
I have seen someone's name, made by letters in nicnacs.

greetings

A nicnac is a sweet little biscuit, in the form of a character of the abc. The children receive it for Santa Claus or Saint Nicolas on 6th of December.

I try to put a photo in here, but no luck!

But it would mean cutting out and pasting individual letters.

Isn't there a script that would separate the letters for them? I have not used it myself but am sure there is.
