22/07/2025 alle 10:09  [post iniziale]  Is dafont submissions broken?

There seems to be errors with submitting fonts these days. We have uploaded many over the past decade; however, no new submissions have worked over the past 2-3 years.

Originally, we received emails stating the following, although this does not seem to be correct and in more recent times, new submissions dont recieve any response at all.

1. Spacing or kerning problem http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerning
2. Font naming problem (missing in some fields, or not matching)
3. Space glyph unset, or too much small/large

In response to the problems listed above,

1. A lot of our fonts are graffiti style. For these fonts to look right when they are in use, the kerning needs to somewhat overlap, this is intentional and the font would not look right without this.
2. If anyone can provide more information on this, we would appreciate it.
3. The space glyph is definitely set. We have tried variations where we copied and pasted the exact space glyph from default fonts on a computer just to test if this was the problem.

We have even tried uploading the vector artwork into Calligraphr (the online font builder tool) so it can generate it in a different way to our native process however this has not worked either.

We would have made 100s more fonts by now if dafont didnt have these issues!

Thanks for the update!


22/06/2013 alle 10:20  [risposta]  html embed

no i want to continue using normal functions of dafont like the comments, i want it to appear on my website in the same way it does when searching fonts on dafont so they will be able to see how many downloads it has and can still click the title to be directed to the dafont page to download


22/06/2013 alle 03:11  [post iniziale]  html embed

I have 9 fonts currently hosted by DaFont, i would like to embed these for download on my website through html but still keep the DaFont specifics example the title, author, downloads, downloads yesterday, download now button and donate to author button.

Any suggestions?
