So there is this web site that lets you build TrueType Fonts on a web page.
It uses a modular system.
Its totally NOT what pros use.
But it is fun to play with and good users can make some amazing stuff.


A font I have started.
It tries to replicate the font I use in my Autocad drawings.
archstyl.shx is a vector line font, when you pick a pen thickness, that strokes the lines.
But there is no TTF equivalent that I have found.

Click the "Pixel" button, to see it at the original pixels size.

Its like LDD for fonts.
Curves are hard.

Sorry.
I was cheating on you :(

But at least they were thoughtful enough to inform me about the error.
I guess the another forum just fills my needs more completely.
They just... get me, ya know.
But we can still be friends, right? :D

The best forum.
Well it was great 1999 - 2008, then people started migrating to DeviantTart and other places.

Dhabih is the artist at Valve that paints those concept art pieces of Gordon Freeman with a crowbar.

Now its lucky to get two posts a day.
In a month there are about 1000 lurkers.
I started there in 2003.
