Custom Font script (spawned from Wallace's PhotoFont topic).

fixed a bug,
if a path is drawn to define width and location of a letter's layer and that layer is not the same size as the image's width, it's moved around funky not right ...so now if path is defined i use image's width to calculate center, since path position is relative to image and not layer.

That's interesting.
So all I need to do is place out a path, with the same name as the letter, indicating the position of the letter?

I guess this can be done with any of the letter, right?

yep any letter, if you don't define it then it just runs assuming that the letter is whatever the layer's width is and that the letter is in the center of layer x-coordinate wise.

I know people usually release sub versions before release 1 which fully works and has all features but i like my release numbered whole numbers so it sounds like it's really awesome :hehe

I think that's a great idea if you could do it GO FOR IT then you can add that to the very first post right on top to feature it. :mrgreen:

Alright.
I'm still having issues with my recording software, but I hope to have that figured out soon.

Wallace,
in this video, are you gonna show how to use the path to define where the character is too so that people know they can design characters that might have crazy vines going outside the character's width? I think it'd be cool if you show that in the video too.

Yes,
I would try to demonstrate everything that the script can do.

I was thinking of another option that might be useful.
Having the individual letter generated, either as a single layer or as separate layers.
So if you have a word with say, five or six letters; on different layers.
You could add different effect to different letter, without effecting every letter.
Is this doable?

Just choose not to merge layers, and they're on different layers, is this what you mean?

If choosing to not merge layer,
keeps each letter in/on it's own layer, then yes.

I must have overlooked this option.

Here's another custom font.
To be used with the Custom Font Script.

Below is an image of my materials catalog.
Most of the items in this image,
were used in the making of this font.

Here are all the letters,
this xcf file will provide.
