Lightning Font In The Works...

Wallace · **Posted:** Wed Jul 17, 2013 4:53 pm **(#1)**

This is a sample of the 'Lightning' font/PHF that I've been working on for a long time now. Hopefully this too will be available to use with the 'Photofont Start' plugin.

I'm not familiar with the Photofont Start' plugin. Sounds interesting.

I was just going to say the same thing Odin, when does this guy sleep? There is a lot of work when it involves Fonts. I don't think I would ever have the patience. Anyway, his pipe stuff is fantastic.

Wallace,
I do not know what is PHF or 'Photofont Start' plugin, but that font was electric! :coolthup

In comics, onomatopoeia and other graphic works, that font fits perfectly!
Visual cool!

Well,

I do have this Stone font completed.

And I'm also working on a Graffiti kind of font, but don't tell anyone. :hehe

'Photofont Start' Is a font plugin originally for Photoshop, but it's compatible with Gimp and can be installed to give you image font or PHF's to be used with Gimp. For more about this plugin go to the link below...

Thanks Molly, I do sleep. :hehe

All of the fonts that I've shown thus far, were made a long time ago, by hand, with a pencil. Remember the pencil... :hehe

It's only now that I'm' actually doing something with all this stuff and there's much more.

Oh wow. This has infinite possibilities. Thanks for the link. I plan to have a lot of fun with this. I can hardly wait for you pipes fonts.

Can these fonts be made with an image editor like gimp or do you have to have Bitfonter for $500?

Those are real good fonts Wallace, I'm might use it with your permission, to create a Tut in the future. :tyspin

for sharing.

You can use it/them but they're only images of fonts. I'm hoping that Rod can make them into PHF files for me.

Maybe someday you can make a tut as to how you get them from gimp into Photofont Start. This really interests me.

@Gms9810,
I don't know how to create the PHF files. I have asked Rod to make them for me. If this helps, here's the threat that was created by Rod about the 'Photofont Start' plugin for Gimp ...
