Is PhotoFont Free?
I have the file downloaded,
I just haven't installed it.

Yes it's free, but it's not easy to find.

Thanks Wallace.

I assumed it wasn't and that's why I grabbed your download.

Here's a download that I found,
other than my DropBox download... http://photofont-start.software.informer.com/2.0/

I am at a dead end.
I don't know why even when i make no changes to the images,
when i encode it back to base64 the file isn't the same (it should be).
So I have contacted [email protected] with my problem, hopefully a techie from their site will help me out.

While i wait for a possible answer from them or not.
...
Since PhotoFont doesn't open as a text but an an image anyways,
I was thinking what if we could write a script that when you have have your alphabet opened as layers with named like A,B,C... and a, b, c...
and run the script it'll ask for your text,
and then it'll loop through each character in your string, and copy the appropriate layer based on name so if you you typed ABC, it'll would copy layer A and paste it in a new image and then paste layer B and paste layer C so you'd have ABC shown in new image.

How's that for an idea for a script? What ya think Wallace?

That sounds interesting.
I guess you could use any king of images you wanted,
not just letter.
Would be something original.
Of course you know I'm not a scripter or coder,
so I couldn't really offer any assistance.
I could however test any script you might come up with,
but so could anyone else.
It's up to you Tin.

Also, as a side note.
I've heard good things about the responsiveness of FontLab,
when answering support inquires.

i am starting to write the script right now... it might take me a while but it's something to do while i wait for their response (good to know they're good on responding though).
