Hi,
I´m a graphic design student from germany. my fonts
http://www.dafont.com/manuel-viergutz.d2079
Let us started a worldwide font project.
A-Z (26letters)
a-z (26letters)
0-9 (10letters)
special character (47letters)
___________________
109 letters
so, we need 109 users from dafont.
each user create 1 letter.
109 different letters = 1 font
post here your name and your letter.
e.g.
eM-Vii = Letter "A"
Hi
good idea for a comunity project
but
who has the distribution rights if someone wants it to be a commercial font later on?

lol, if the project includes the letter you did, you get a % every time that letter is used in the project. the money is in designing R, S, T, L, N, or E preferably lowercase right?
kirk : depends on your language
Here's a C from a font I was working on a couple of years ago, and which I'll probably never finish:
but it's probably way too big and complex for this project.
to display images:
type IMG inside square brackets, ([ and]), followed by the internet address/url of the picture, (ie: http://...), followed by /IMG in the square brackets, without any spaces between the [IMG] tags and the url.

img works as fine as IMG
INFO:
my suggestion
license for the font its PERSONAL USE
later we can switch the license at FREE
that's sound good! in that case, we should release it under creative commons license letting everybody use it for free.
So, how do we do this? do we start from a based style or evrybody put his touch?
ok good idea. CREATIVE COMMONS LICENSE
for worldwide project - everybody make his own style of letter
Sethan = Letter "S" please.
I am in Shrewsbury in the UK.
Fantastic idea - love it.
What's the deadline?
Vinz > a
that's cool, i've just drawn some stuffs, and i've got a "a" for you
When I read Worldwide Font Project, I thought somewhat very different: A font, that cover every language worldwide, where one made the latin section, another one followed the design with a cyrillioc section or greek, than another one add arabic or hebew, maybe the next will add a indian glyphset and so on, but not only a font, that will have every single glyph in a different style. That looks a litte likt the box with the "Blindfische" in lead-typesetting times, wher all wrong types where collected. So I suggest the name "blind-fish" for that kind of font. But when i have to ad one glyph, collect one out of my fonts, if you like...
Max Kisman of Holland Fonts did a similar project in 2003, called Frisco Remix. The terms of the license do not allow me to redisribute the font, but you can get it here:
http://www.hollandfonts.com/FRE03.html
The read me and .pdf can also be downloaded from that page. If I recall correctly, there was some problem with the Windows version. I couldn't open it in preview, but I could open it with Studio5 and generate an .otf version for myself. I think the archive is in .hqx format, rather than .zip or .rar.
Thanks for that link, meta, I love the A's and the lower case g. Looks like each designer has done both upper and lower case of a letter, which may not be a bad idea as there doesn't seem to be 109 users worth of interest here!
Hey there, that's a great idea. I'd like to create a 5, as the A's are already taken
So ? i've got a "a" ready to go ?
