Trying to make a font for subspace

[Paxil]

to do this? Some people have their "tricks" in making some graphical stuff. You think it would be possible to use a font or something from some program like microsoft word (using a certain size) then copy, paste, and add color?

you CAN just use Photoshop, y'know...

 

just open up a font .bmp (Continuum\graphics) and make sure the proportions are the same (same number of columns/rows) and that each character is in the same place

Well, every font I have attempted ot make turned out to be a little messed up.. Anyways, for the most part people dislike custom fonts, but if you wish to continue;

 

You don't need to use something the same dimensions as a font .bm2, but it needs to be aligned/organized the same exact way. Meaning, there must be two lines with the same # of characters/letters on each for a color, and 8 different colors/repeats. So in other words, here's how it goes down..

 

tallfont.bm2 = 384x192 pixels

Each letter = 8x12 pixels in size

Each row = 48 characters/letters

Each row = 384x24 pixels (8 rows)

 

So, lets say you make a bigger font, and each letter was 12x20 pixels.. You would need the following-

tallfont.bm2 = 576x320 pixels

You would have to align it perfectly so there is 48 letters each row, and etc.. it's nerveracking and exhausting=/

 

Made a quick example.. hope it makes sense lol

[madhaha]

Please post completed fonts. It'd help other zones and they might even be included in the next release...
