If you have a Gypsy or the Cricut Design Studio, yes. But if all you have is the cartridge and machine, then no. This is the case for any of the fonts. However, with the script font, you can lay the letters so it looks like they are connected, but you have to glue them separately.
Yes - you can do it with SCAL too (I do it all the time)- just using any font you have on your computer. If you want to use the CRICUT cartrige fonts, then you need design studio.
