I created a "mock font" that I have to add a little bit more to and then I will post the xcf. This is what I made as a preliminary.

Looks cool PM; I miss rennysniche.com (don't bother; they no longer exists) and downloaded some cool image characters that I've used as fonts (the hard way of course). Below's a click from the wayback machine, but the download images won't be there anymore unfortunately (waybacks servers are down right now, but maybe they might be up again soon; heres a parable. If the wayback machine ever bytes (used byte intentionally; lol) the dust, how to you get to the webpage for wayback using the wayback machine? lol). :)

I remember the wayback machine on TV. Ah the joys of getting old(er).

I just discovered that at the wayback machine, some of the clipart charater zip files are downloadable (could have sworn I tried this before but it didn't work). Just wanted to share the info. Again, I do like your clipart set PM and hope you don't think I hijaaked your thread. :)

I love your font, Greg. It must have taken a lot of time to make that. I've not seen one like that before.

I wonder if showing that to the fontographers in Annex Cafe would inspire one of them to make an actual font like that.

Agreed! Someone should make a archived waybak of the archives in waybak machine! =)

Here's a link to a somewhat similar font, but not nearly as nice as yours, Greg.
