How to get a SQUARE FRAME around text
Moderators: Peter Thomsen, miker
I'm numbering songs for a theatrical production.
This is a TEXT BLOCK. (The number "1")
How do I get the frame to be square? It's rectangle as seen but I'd like it to be perfectly square.

You'll have to create a Custom Frame. Considering you are using what appears to be the Broadway Copyist font, wouldn't a better look be the traditional hand drawn frame?

P.S.: A picture comparing some options when using the Broadway Copyist Font.

I'm using the Finale Copyist Font.
I'll try and create a frame myself. I'll research that.

I've done a sample with the Finale Copyist font. It took some trickery to get it to look right however. Odd.
The Finale Copyist sample is on the far left.

There are a number of text fonts that already include rectangles, squares or circles around the letters.
