Pictures for lettersA couple of months ago I made a true-type font with about 141 pictures in it instead of characters. Last edited by John E. Franklin (2006-05-13 04:08:27) Imagine for a moment that even an earthworm may possess a love of self and a love of others. #2 2006-05-13 09:15:09
Re: Pictures for lettersAnd what were the results? Were you able to read them? And how did you go with more practice? "The physicists defer only to mathematicians, and the mathematicians defer only to God ..." - Leon M. Lederman #3 2006-05-17 00:34:34
Re: Pictures for lettersThe program I wrote makes a text file with the reading going left to right and then right to left on the next line. Imagine for a moment that even an earthworm may possess a love of self and a love of others. #4 2006-05-17 00:54:30
Re: Pictures for lettersHere's a scan of a printout because the printouts come out better than the original font on the screen. Imagine for a moment that even an earthworm may possess a love of self and a love of others. #5 2006-05-19 21:42:07
Re: Pictures for lettersImpressive. #6 2006-05-19 22:04:36
Re: Pictures for lettersYes, very impressive, and looks beautiful, too. "The physicists defer only to mathematicians, and the mathematicians defer only to God ..." - Leon M. Lederman #7 2006-05-21 09:11:03
Re: Pictures for lettersThanks for the compliments. I drew all of the tiny drawings on paper myself, even though I'm not an artist, but if I'm careful, I can do okay. I drew different things as I thought them up, with no category in mind. It took most of a day, really to come up with things that I liked and draw them. Then, I redrew them even better after I had categorized them with the letters. The reason behind how I put the random drawings with the letters came down to assigning a family member or relative to each letter of the alphabet and then I chose drawings that had something to do with those people, perhaps years back, just an insignificant memory I had. So anyhow, it was a fun project and if you ever want to make your own font, there are programs on the internet you can use for 30 days to try them out, that's what I did. I think it was called Font Creator, I can't find it because I think I uninstalled it. When I discovered that my printer would print the detail of the fonts at a small font size better than on the screen I was quite happy, and I think if I stick to C,Y,M,K colors, it is even more crisp as these are the colors of the ink before mixing: Cyan, magenta (the pink you saw above), yellow, and K stands for black.

Re: Pictures for lettersHere's another three dee code I came up with for the letters of the alphabet. Imagine for a moment that even an earthworm may possess a love of self and a love of others. #9 2006-09-25 09:22:14
Re: Pictures for lettersYou could make 3d patterns with your name. "The physicists defer only to mathematicians, and the mathematicians defer only to God ..." - Leon M. Lederman #10 2006-09-25 10:08:18
Re: Pictures for lettersOr you could just leave it as is and make punctuation-free sentences with it, using the last box as a space. Why did the vector cross the road? It wanted to be normal. |
