Ruth, I can't vouch for any of the others - but I found that to get what I wanted, I had to make up my own. I wanted several old-style alphabets, like Gothic Textura and Littera Bastarda, and they just aren't available. Linda H. is working on a great project called "Please Weave a Message" - check out her site at www.lindahendrickson.com The Textura Quadrata alphabet is one that I worked up, and Linda has refined for regularity. If you decide to work with cross-stitch, you will probably want to translate the graph on paper first - the long double-face "pixels" don't readily adapt to the square cross-stitch pixels. I use a program called PatternMaker, which was originally designed for cross-stitch, but you can adapt the shape of the "stitch" so that the fabric is elongated.
