Early stage new version of Custom Font Layers with Fixed Margins

Skinnyhouse · **Posted:** Thu Dec 05, 2019 6:55 am **(#1)**

I have been thinking about this for some time - and hadn't realised that MareroQ had produced such an excellent set of plug-ins for handling unicode characters.

Anyway here are some of the results that I have had using the highlighted option...

The layers on the left show the star characters generated and then put through the metallic filter.

And a couple of star layers results. Metallic effects and Shine effect...

Hi Skinnyhouse.

Is this weird (but beautiful)?
At the same time:
You - add Unicode to Font_Metallic_Effects.py
I - I am thinking about adding Font_Metallic_Effects to Unicode_to_shape (so I asked for the option of extended application with "ordinary" layers).
By the way, one more request (long-term?):
if you add foreign characters can you add polish characters?

Code: Select all

polish_case = unichr(260) + unichr(262) + unichr(280) + unichr(321) + unichr(323) + unichr(211) + unichr(346) + unichr(377) + unichr(379)
polish_case += unichr(261) + unichr(263) + unichr(281) + unichr(322) + unichr(324) + unichr(243) + unichr(347) + unichr(378) + unichr(380)

(and probably for all languages instead of PF_TOGGLE one PF_OPTION).
I will follow the development of your new plugin with interest.
Good luck.

Adding Polish characters a pleasure - even if the experimental never makes it - scary emoji wins.

Making progress with emoji - although most other custom font filters do not recognise the results.

I'm enjoying,
what seems to be a serious passion and enthusiasm,
for custom font creation.

I too,
once had a pressing urge for this same thing.
Unfortunately,
depending on how one looks at it.
I've gone on to other "pressing urges".

Thank you for the kind words Wallace.
Some may think it an obsession - I think of it as an back-itch that I cannot quite reach well enough to scratch, if you pardon the image.
Enjoy the season.
