Something to kill time or perhaps actually build your own fonts.

hey that's cool, thanks Alma.

Indeed. I always wanted to make a font from my handwriting, and especially my husband's handwriting, which is absolutely impeccable.

I signed up and found a nifty font and downloaded it.

very cool, thanks for the link almaink!

(hey, that actually rhymes!)

I looked at the site - I don't think it's for me. It only generates what they call "modular" fonts. Square and bitmappy. I was hoping to create something based on handwriting. Still pretty neat, though.

yeah, I was playing with it myself, kinda lame.

nevermind, the font I downloaded, it's not that cool, gotta do something about the kerning and letter spacing, man gawd awful.

I can't wait until my customers start sending files with these fonts in them. I'm sure my RIP will love it too. :tongue:

What? You don't have Power Point? What kind of designer are you? :police:

David · April 11, 2008, 10:50:41 AM

I'm striving for a 100% Microsoft workflow. Make that jpeg a BMP or a Windows Metafile. Thank you...

Soooo...has anyone created a useable font from there yet?

David · April 11, 2008, 11:38:15 AM

I'll get my secretary right on that...

I made a font that has two letters in it...

I'm thinkin' I'll use those two letters a bunch.

ninjaPB_43 · April 11, 2008, 11:44:21 AM
