Response to Comic Book Lettering PDF

I am very grateful for the in-class tutorial and this PDF walkthrough for comic book lettering. I have been looking for a way to easily incorporate word balloon and sound effects because I have been unsuccessfully hand drawing everything in PaintTool SAI up until now which has no ruler or text tool. I cannot wait to start incorporating clean and neat word balloons and sound effects! Some things, like making voices quieter, were so obvious but I never realized how impactful they actually are. I see them all the time but never really stop to say "hey, that's a well thought out word balloon". Instead I think the reader takes it in subconciously which is pretty amazing because the ability to do that comes from some hardworker's crafting skill. If a word balloon was too big or too awkward we may stop reading and stare at it, taking us out of the story, so I am truly amazed in the small details of this practice. Not sure if I can post links in here, but I am cheap and would probably never pay for fonts. I found a site called FONTSPACE which has free fonts (under open source licensing, as in not stolen) which I have found work for just about all my programs I've tried it on. There's a comic book section with some great iconic fonts, too.
