I'm in the process of creating my font via a stitch image font. How do you represent period, right parenthesis, left parenthesis, etc.? If you cannot, I understand.

I either have to define these in the script like if i run into a period i look for 'period.png' which isn't done yet....
or however as it is right now if you name your layer "..png" it'll work with period....or "(.png" it'll work for parenthesis because gimp doesn't restrict special characters then a . then png. Does that makes sense?

This latest version has "FILLED" Justification option.

PhotoFont is still useful in that it's still text on html pages so their text is searchable. I just don't know if i'd pay.

Still need to work out how to align the layer so lower case fonts will align, but here's my try (lot's of work and I'm a lazy filter guy so I may not bother to fix the font; lol).

Ah; may try to add those characters. Still, need to figure out how to align the characters proper I suppose. lol

Well in that case SO LONG FONTLAB!

looks pretty nice the way it is right now.

I like the font but I'm confused. Do you have to use the font to layers script in order to get the custom font script to work OR is the font to layers script a completely separate script?

custom_font script is a separate script on its own.

I think the font to layers script only facilitates you in designing your font like creating layers with those named layers and then you can edit each layer to your own liking (I can't get it to work for me either).

However, you do not need it, you can just start creating your own layers and name them accordingly for example "a.png" "b.png" "c.png" for letters a, b and c and so on for other characters and use the custom_font.scm.

Thanks for the explanation.

I grabbed images from this link http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/picture-galleries/5757548/The-Google-Maps-alphabet-UK-an-A-to-Z-of-the-British-Isles.html?image=25
and cropped them into a capitals only font

some samples

Now that's just too cool, Tran. lol

Hi Trandoductin.
Thank You for the new options: Justification § Spacing.
It is a pity that font-to-layers does not work for You (for me works in Gimp versions 2.8 and 2.9)
You can try the new version (without gtk message)?

Still having fun.

nice Wallace!
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.

This version worked great for me! Great job!

I'll add a link to this version in my first post of thread so it's easy to find for people.
