Scrapping with SWAP items

That's a Dingbat/Font called Prototype Community, here.

Don't mean to highjack this thread, but I have SCAL and none of my dingbat fonts work in it. They all just look like Arial - or something generic. I've downloaded the Prototype Community font before, but the symbols don't show up. What am I doing wrong?

Oh, and I love the layouts in here - great work everyone.

Hmm, are you going to the Text menu and selecting the dingbat? Then go to Window and select Font Table (or hit Ctrl 2) and it will show the items available? You need to install dingbats like you install fonts, have you done that?

Yep. None of my dingbat fonts work. Some were already installed on my computer, and those didn't work either. I have the newest SCAL and my computer is Windows 7. Oh, the dingbats work in Word - I see the images and can use it there, but not in SCAL. I've looked online for a solution, but don't see that others are having the problem. Do you have to use Inkscape first? I don't use it.

***Strike that - I had an older version of SCAL 2.0, once I updated to the current one available, my dingbats work. Yeah! The possibilities open up from this. Thanks for your help.
 
Thanks for all the nice comments. You make me feel :goodvibes!!

Here are a couple more pages I did yesterday:

The title, journal box, and the 2 large photomats were made by AlexWyattMommy in the Character Swap. The altered letter "L" was made by me in the Character Swap, but I changed the paper on it so that it would work for this page.
