Lylejk - I can't make out what your image says.

I have added all the fonts in this thread so far at bottom of 1st post of this thread

so that it's easy to find (Just using links) but if people download from these links, the download count will still update on the post where the original files are attached.

Yeah; if you visit the guy's deviant, you can then figure out what I wrote. lol

man that's hard...to figure out, I can see COOL and that's it because the double OO gave it away but after check deviantart i finally figured out the secret message.

It's a secret message Wallace! There's no way you can know what it says :mrgreen:

OK; just that you know, I didn't create the characters.

Just thought they looked quite cool indeed.

Just curious; are you planning to add a scale factor (i.e., can resize the result; right now your output is the size of the font set created)? Just curious.

I don't think i will as it's only one step to scale the whole merged result.

I altered another script to cut out font of random elements
so you can fill the element layers with any pattern or image you like.
example of .xcf below (has 26 elements of the first 26 gimpchat banners from http://gimpchat.com/banners2/)

Then I ran this altered script (available under Script-Fu/Create New/Custom Cut Font ...)

Attachment:

custom_cut_font.scm [10.31 KiB]
Downloaded 302 times

and then I got a result below (well this result has been duplicated and doubled bumped mapped and moved one of the original merged result on top).

Now I need to find the upper and lower case version. lol

trandoductin · **Posted:** Mon May 09, 2016 2:38 pm **(#82)**

This .xcf features all 78 gimchat banners.
To be used with custom_cut_font.scm

Wanted a bigger size than Tran's so used this set to create this one.

Another attempt; this time I took more advantage of healing selection (resynthesizer) than my last effort and surround the outside with random characters which I then cropped to just the text area.

Try googling for "alternative to photofont".

I think the first result is my blog about this post hehe.

I tried signing out of my google account to make it isn't just showing that because it's me searching for it...
so if you want to try and let me know if it takes you to my blog post and the the blog post links back to this thread. that means we are the #1 alternative to photofont.
