Here's a little font sheet I made of a font that would most likely never be made: http://looneytunerian.deviantart.com/art/Mock-Latin-Font-Sheet-576153985?ga_submit_new=10%253A1449346914&ga_type=edit&ga_changes=1&ga_recent=1

You are probably right. As why would one to make this when the Woodcutter Vintage Cartoon is already there?


05/12/2015 alle 23:13

Woodcutter Vintage Cartoon was not a good font to be made.

That was only a beta design.

Jeff Bensch offered to help, but until now I only realize he's a GREAT BIG JERK!

Any Font Designers who doesn't take requests are just being jerks about it. :/

I agree, from a technical point of view Woodcutter Vintage Cartoon could have been made better. A lot better. But that counts for many, many, fonts here on dafont. Design-wise, however, your thingie adds little to nothing to the already available Woodcutter Vintage Cartoon. So again, why would one make this when the Woodcutter Vintage Cartoon is already there?

To give it a better look, obviously.

I've already asked the font author to remove it.

Honestly, the caps of your specimen is not good. Some are too heavy compared to the others. Based on samples shown on that page, the letters are all weighted the same. The original specimens are also missing the numbers and these letters L Q V W a f g h j k l m n o p q s u v w x z People who might do this probably prefers to see original specimen rather than your interpretation of the specimen. Working from original specimens means lesser deviations.

As far as taking requests is concerned, there is no obligation for anyone to accept requests. You should be thankful that people will take your request but calling them names because they are not willing to do what you asked them to do is I think not nice. People, for reasons of their own, also have the right to change their minds especially that this is done for free.

If you really want this done, why not ask people to do it for you for a fee. If you can reach an agreement with that person, you can have the font done the way you want it.

BTW if this is a font, look for someone who have catalogs of photo/film types - Filmotype, Letraset, etc. They might find it there.

Woodcutter Vintage Cartoon and the one in your specimen are not the same. There are just too many differences and hardly have any similarities. They just have similar look and feel and I am stretching the meaning of the term when I used it to describe the fonts.

Because I no longer want it up.

I'm asking for a newer and improved font. That's why I've posted the Font Sheet on my dA website.

Screw you, koeiekat.

I'm going to ask Woodcutter to take down that Woodcutter Vintage Cartoon font and that is that.

Assuming that Woodcutter Vintage Cartoon was done on your request using a specimen that you made, Woodcutter still owns the font and have every right over the font. If I were him I will ignore your request because you do not have any right over that font. The only exception is that if you paid him to do it and you retained exclusive rights.

What were the conditions between you and Woodcutter for that font? I doubt that there was any other turn the specimen into a font.


07/12/2015 alle 06:59

Rights or not, it was still my request.

And right now, I'm requesting it to be take down.

And if no one likes it, ban me from the site.

Did you know that more than half of the fonts I have here at Dafont were done based on requests and I was provided specimen for those fonts? Automation, Athenian Wide, Plural, Gadget, Monastic, Timbuctu, Lucifer, Eclair, Xanthus, etc... The persons who requested them knew that they do not have any right to those fonts. Once I made the font, it became mine unless there is a prior agreement. But for a free font, I retain all the rights.

If I was that person and you asked me to take it down, it is not going to happen.
