Hey everyone, the devil back in full force first thing I'm going to do is fix that darn slow font on the site as I totally revamped the way how my color font system works and will be opening a color font converter site that you can convert any image to a glyph to add to your fonts (Hint save the cod...

@Bhikkhu Pesala

THANK YOU! I knew I had forgotten something I'll have a special colored font ready for next week I finally found a real purpose for theses and I'm sure your going to love it (Keeping it as a surprise).

I have a square font I want to tile exactly like in DOS ASCII characters used to do (I'm sure It's just my brain being tired as this has been the week of up's and down's and I promise you incredible ways with your fonts if I can figure this out) █ <--- This █████ █ █ █████ Without any top bottom lef...

@Erwin Denissen Was away for a few days family business, absolutely I'll get right on working on that my kickstarter project didn't work as expected but why waste the technique might as well let others enjoy using it. And your right Firefox 32 now accepts theses fonts heck I might even make one so t...

@Bhikkhu Pesala Well my project is not getting any hits which is exactly what I expected as it's something that has not grown in the past year of popularity due to the fact that there wasn't a real purpose for it. I'll have a guide ready for you if you want it in about 2 weeks of all the steps and t...

@Dick Pape Kerning text was exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for the information dunno why but the past few days the brain been playing tricks on me. The sites are exactly what I was looking for and your preferred choice does seem to be the best option for the job. Thanks again. Shawn W. Dion

I'm looking for a svg expert, anyone here know how to subtract areas that are covered by another layer? (Tool, Plugin, etc) if you look at my previous post the tool I use does a weird layer splt to compose the image layer and I'd like to figure out on how to remove the redundant information as I wan...

Long time ago I fell upon a website that mentioned key words and phrases that we're great to use for creating fonts with a natural feel unfortunately I can't remember where I had found such a list and I was wondering if someone here had seen them or might still have them archived?

That's what I figured that I was going to do is to just rebuild with a blank and setup a array for where the glyph's would go in order. I'll give PDF-XChange a shot see the ease elsewise I'll just use imagemagick and just map a blank png as I already built a database with all the possibilities via d...

I was trying to get the GNU Unifont as the layout chart for Scanahand as I wanted something more as a novelty font for some people I know and arriving with a stack of 600 sheets and getting them to fill it out for their holiday gift would be priceless. Also the main reason why I wanted to get as muc...

For hard wired it definitely is from what I can see as for the font tried the one you mentioned didn't change the results guess I'll have to go through the list and see what I can find if I can pull it off. Should it work I'll have a complete template of all the unicodes to upload here this way arti...

@William Well using the technique that I was working on converting photo's into glyph's I'm sure that even using something like a face generator http://flashface.ctapt.de/ or taking modern art and coverting it into fonts can reproduce marvelous works the major key though is the choices of colors I'v...

Mark your calendars as this is a rare occasion, I'm officialy stumped on this problem. How do I change the font that is used with Scanahand to display what character should be drawn? I don't care if I have to rename arial at this point or any other font to pull this off. I've searched everywhere inc...

@Alfred Your going to owe me sleep on this one =) I just figured out that what I could do is split the layers keep the black and another color to make each individual glyph as long as I don't use black for the inside drawings (Your the one who game me the idea when you asked your question about the ...

@Alfred For the scanner if you use the distinct colors such as Blue Red Green Black Cyan Magenta Yellow (darker one not the pale) and good ol black (and white for seperations) most scanners will work fine for reading theses as they have a unique color id. (I'm not using them as a mix sorry for the c...
