Got the Gabriola font on your computer? Then perhaps you’re wondering how to switch between the different stylistic variants (lettering styles) the font offers. (I know there are a lot of people who want this information, because they arrive at Gabriolan.ca after searching for ‘how to change lettering style in Gabriola font’ or some such.)

I asked John Hudson (Gabriola font designer and Gabriola Island resident) to explain this to me so that I could tell you the answer. John wrote a pageful of information, complete with illustrations. Go take a look if you want to know more about using the font that’s named after our island.
