I am in need of a good halftone font. Any ideas?

Nope. Not even a bad one.

that was helpful.

I also do not know of a purple frog with left legs of two meters long and right legs of 6 centimeters long.

I'm very sorry this is all you have to offer in life.

Basically what I think he is saying is that there isn't a good halftone font.

Pick the one you like here : http://www.dafont.com/theme.php?cat=107&fpp=50&psize=l

That is not halftone Fred

Nope, but there are a few "halftone" fonts in this section

Something like that ?
http://www.dafont.com/the-line-up.font?fpp=50&af=on
http://www.dafont.com/team-401.font?fpp=50&af=on
http://www.dafont.com/stahlbetontraeger.font?fpp=50&af=on
http://www.dafont.com/iconian-fonts.d6?fpp=50&af=on

Nope. Each and every font in that section - or whatever other section - is monochrome. That is, one color only, not grayscale or grayscale equivalent. Same old story all over again.

ok it's not halftone, but it looks like it is

True, a font is white and black (more exactly, full and empty).
But it's possible to make an illusion of halftone and gradien, using little points or lines with a various concentration and/or size.
Like that :
http://www.dafont.com/gotfaded.font
http://www.dafont.com/robbie-rocketpants.font
http://www.dafont.com/ams-trame.font
http://www.dafont.com/darthfader.font

Several time, the result is a very heavy file, difficult to use with some software.

Try Glow Gothic, for example. More here: http://www.myfonts.com/search/tag%3Ahalftone/fonts/

It'is also possible to use a classic font in a graphic software and to fill it with some gradient colors.

Then it is not a font anymore but a drawing.

True but if mousehead5 just wants to do a logo, it can be an easy solution with a big choice of possibilities.

True, but mousehead didn't say so. Mousehead wanted a font. A halftone font. And that does not exist. Not even a good one, whatever good may be. What is good for one may very well be trash to me.

@Menhir, edit is just some typos

mousehead5, try browsing through Max Infeld's fonts, (Xerographer Fonts):
http://www.dafont.com/max-infeld.d3584?page=1.

He does some really interesting things with simulated grey tones. He has almost 600 fonts posted on DaFont, so the grey tone fonts will appear on a number of different sub pages.

I would recommend that you install and use any that appeal to you, but avoid opening these font files in preview. Many of them have the heavy font warning popup box before you can download. They probably use a ton of memory and system resources, when the panagram text is displayed at different point sizes. I know a thing or too about very complex fonts - I once made a single glyph test font that was 175 kb.

Thanks for the help. I'm going with ams-trame. I altered my original plan to make it work with this font. Not exactly what I wanted, but oh well.
