Jimmyfonts!

[Jimmy]

Well, thanks for the tipps Jimmy, I just opened the forum but haven't added any fonts yet to the repo. Would you mind posting one example to http://www.realm667.com/board/viewforum.php?f=47 that I can include and start with so people know what they have to take care of?

Submission numero uno made. This is all five variants of my Doom status bar-alike font.

The system you have at the moment is okay, though I'll be suggesting some alterations to it, now that I've made my submission.

The PK3 link for Gargoyle Wing appears to be broken.

[Jimmy]

Whoopsie. Should work now.

Those look pretty fantastic, are they more or less autoload-able? I'd love to shove one in my auto folder

Wohooo

Status update (no rape )
Time for jimmy - and everyone else who is interested, skilled or whatelese - to go crazy with the new Font Press over at the Realm667. Submissions can be made, fonts can be downloaded, keep the new area burning

[Jimmy]

First post updated with the new unused Doom font.

Sorry for derailing this thread, but Jimmy, do you think you mught be able to help here?

...maybe even come up with a different Wolf-style font that I could use in my supersecrethiddenindisguies-doom mod?

Jimmy, how do you get around ImageTool complaining that a glyph has height x instead of y? I'm trying to edit your smallfont, I literally touched nothing but the colours (reduced them to a single shade) but now ImageTool refuses to build it! This is so frustrating :/

[Blue Shadow]

It converted fine for me. Here it is if you'd like:

jfont.zip

Thanks! Was about to go crazy with this one. I'm not new to ImageTool but somehow this image gave me a lot of problems...

EDIT: Actually that doesn't work Blue Shadow... the glyphs are all wrong (text becomes some weird bunch of letters, I think they're all being shifted)

[Blue Shadow]

Okay, try this one:

jfont_fixed.zip

[Nash]

That's perfect, thanks! Out of curiosity, how are you doing it? I'm using this:

Code: Select all

imagetool font smallfnt.pcx smallfnt.lmp

(image has to be PCX, ImageTool can't read PNGs)

It just refuses to work for me! It says that some character is not the correct height or something.

[Blue Shadow]

Yes, the command is correct, and It's not the problem. It has something to do with the source image. I don't know why, but rearranging the cells in a similar way to that of the bigfont which comes with the tool, seemed to fix it.

I've updated the zip file in my post above to include the source image (I should've done that when I uploaded it yesterday, but somehow I forgot).

[Nash]

Thanks a lot, Blue Shadow! Really appreciate you taking the time to fix this for me.
