Sep 27, 2010 at 23:44 [reply] Can anyone help me?

emmalicious77, Photoshop is a huge file, probably well over 1 GB if it's compressed to a .rar or .zip archive. You could possibly find a copy on a bit torrent site, but there would be no guarantee that it would be virus-free or complete. The dafont forum is not the right place to ask for this sort of thing.

Sep 27, 2010 at 23:33 [reply] Naming Conflicts for Capture It Font

KateG, check your private messages. I think I have found a solution, but you'll need to test it on your own, as I am on PC, rather than Mac.

Sep 27, 2010 at 10:21 [reply] What do you guys think of my font??

It looks really nice, Brian. the only thing that noticeably needs improvement is the lower case c cedilla, (ç). The descending portion should be longer. At smaller point sizes, it would be hard to distinguish it from a regular c.

IS THERE A DINGBAT FONT FOR A BREAST CANCER AWARENESS RIBBON? PLZ HELP TYVM

Probably the closest you're going to get is LCR We Remember LSF by Le Chef René:

http://www.fontspace.com/lechefrene/lcr-we-remember-lsf

It's a letterbat, not a dingbat, though. If that one isn't good enough, you should use the font with a ribbon for some other cause, and change the text colour.

Sep 25, 2010 at 00:29 [reply] What is YOUR FAVORITE font ?

I use Bookman Old Style Bold almost exclusively in MS Word and Notepad, but then again, I make fonts with ScanFont and MS Paint...

Sep 24, 2010 at 12:30 [reply] What is this font

I stand corrected.

Sep 24, 2010 at 12:05 [reply] What is this font

This is custom drawn lettering, not a font.

AdobeBrad said

I work with Adobe. However I'm just here to offer any assistance that I can with CS Live,I know it's a new tool, and there has been a lot of confusion with how it works. Do you currently use CS5?

I'm a luddite, Brad. I make all of my source graphics for fonts in monochrome bitmap, using MS Paint.

Sep 23, 2010 at 19:38 [reply] Liscensing_If next to download the font says free is it free for commercial use?

VanessaDelatolas, when a designer uploads a font at dafont, they specify the licensing restrictions, if any. Zebra by yong//somewhere-else is free for all use, personal or commercial. The designer indicates this among the comments:

That's a heart? It looks more like a squished bug on a car's windshield.

Sep 22, 2010 at 00:42 [reply] 1955-57 Chevy "Nomad" tailgate script

I think there's a Ray Larabie/Typodermic font that's a lot like this graphic, but I don't recall the name of it.

Sep 20, 2010 at 20:02 [reply] How to make special characters, and fonts with "boxes" in them

The box appears when a font does not have a character glyph for the position in the chart. For example. there is no pilcrow, (paragraph marker, ¶), in the Evanescence font above. Rose Caps, http://www.dafont.com/rose-caps.font for example, has a character set of A-Z in capital letters, and no other glyphs. For every other keyboard stroke, you'll see a box.

Sep 20, 2010 at 07:18 [reply] How to make special characters, and fonts with "boxes" in them

(Windows Instructions):

Download this file, named 'ANSI document':

http://www.4shared.com/document/LY95tDkt/ANSI_Document_.htm

It will show you which character glyphs can be made with the combination of the Alt key and the number pad. The document is set up for Bookman Old Style font. For use in another font, do Edit -> Select All, and change the font in use.

You can also use the Character Map:

Start Menu -> Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools -> Character Map, or you can make a desktop shortcut, (Right-Click the desktop -> New -> Shortcut. The path should be C:/Windows/System 32/charmap.exe

As with the ANSI document, the available supplementary glyphs will vary from font to font. Glyphs which appear in Tahoma can be used in Windows file names.

No doubt there are other ways to access these additional glyphs in graphics programs, but a combination of the ANSI document and the Character Map will increase the number of glyphs you can use in MS Word, Notepad, Excel, MS Paint, etc.

There are also five excellent World War I dingbat fonts from Listemagarens:

http://www.dafont.com/aeroplanes.font

http://www.dafont.com/ww1.font (four fonts on this page)

and the Browning font, by Liberator Crew, which has both a stencil alphabet font, and dingbats from both World War I and World War II:

http://www.dafont.com/browning.font

This link for Browning:

http://browningmgs.com/Transit%20Case/Font.htm

Has some additional information about the font, and its' uses.

I think he works for Adobe, and his post is an advertisement. Since the information is beneficial to many, it would qualify as news, rather than spam.

Sorry, the Quote button isn't working for me right now.

Re: Hadley/Nomarch/Brin Athyn:

This was covered in the disqualifications for duplicate IDs and additional points section, right above the leaderboard:

"The following additional adjustments were made:
* koeiekat awarded 1 point for Nomarch; no points awarded to deds nor Menhir, from this thread:
http://www.dafont.com/forum/read/1098/what-font

To quote you: "Hadley, Nomarch, Brin Athyn, make your choice". I chose Nomarch.

You and I are hardly in competition. I think I'll be stuck on one for a while, unless a really easy one comes up while Europe is asleep, and I'm not. I think this competition will run until Wednesday, December 29, at which point we can award the Gold, Silver, Bronze and Wood medals, before starting a new season.

There has been a large increase in the number of posts in Font ID in the past week, though. Two and a half of the eleven pages were posted in the last seven days, and quite a few of the threads were not started by mada9.

I accidentally had daaams and deds both listed as #5 last week, even though they had different totals, so everyone below daams was adjusted down one spot, befor this week's figures were added.
