Themes to suit joined-up text

You have been working very hard on your joined up text and it shows! Looks very nice. When I can devote the time I will learn more about how to use it. I like the way you displayed how it can be used. I like that effect.

Some fantastic results for sure. I've been keeping an eye on your effort by the way. Not really a text guy though, but plenty of folk here are and I'm sure they appreciate it. All I have to say is fantastic stuff.

Thank you Pat and Lylejk; I do find it hard work - if I had any hair to pull out it would have all been pulled out during this bout of coding.
And since I have always enjoyed words, text effects and fonts this is a really good way to combine them all into one binge.
Anyway - the last of the guitar themes:

My own 12 string...

I thought I had better put a link to the Version 2 of the filter here...

...and to celebrate the first time we have grown hollihocks in the garden...

This detail shows the effects of the Curve Compensation option in the filter quite nicely, I thought, on text before decorative effects have been applied. With paths that follow strong changes in direction, it does require a trial and error approach to get the best effect.

Thank you so much Skinnyhouse, well done also on Hollyhocks - nice, my first play...

A deeply talented man alright - wise but scary! Like your results.

Playing with a version of my square font - see
viewtopic.php?f=15&t=14917&p=207737&hilit=square+fonts#p207737
- to use with the Joined-up Text filter, as a sort of beaded effect.

The text is from an old Music Hall song (It was supposed to be an example of ironic comedy during the Victorian period.)

Quite pleased with the results of SquareBeads Font - ready to be added to Joined-up Text filter after I have fixed a couple of nasties discovered in the meantime.

Some quick examples after applying various Bevel Reflect Logo filters...

Thought I had better start putting metallic filter results here now:

Beautiful, Skinnyhouse!

Skinnyhouse, the last two are really beautiful.
It took me some time to figure out the words on the necklace.
But now I see it

Thank you Pat and Ella.

This one is not curved at all...
... you makes the rules...
... you breaks the rules.

Thank you so much Skinnyhouse for your work and your nice scripts. I did a first try and it works great! I'll play it more so soon as I can get some time.

You're very welcome Issabella. I think your's must take the prize for the most sparkley piece of gold.
