Hardy i wanted folks to see your "WEIHNACHTEN-COMIC" font on a non white background so you can see the snow on the letters.

Reptile Skin Font (created with my own reptile text script)
Download the script here
viewtopic.php?f=9&t=13384

Download XCF font file here
https://sourceforge.net/projects/rods-c ... les/files/

I will clean up the XCF and re upload later, or you can clean it up yourself. Everything is included and that is why it is 75 MB in size. Just remove everything in the layer group.

Rod, that really is a beautiful font for your Snakeskin text script. Makes it very pretty!

I thought it went really well with the snake theme. Got that squiggly look to it.

How do you use the fonts?

O if you go here viewtopic.php?f=9&t=14045&start=0 you will find out all about Trans "Custom Font" script for GIMP. It basically creates Photofonts utilizing a font xcf file. :bigthup

.

Open GIMP go to Script-Fu>Create New>Custom Font and when the dialog opens select your values and run the filter. You will get your text written out with the decorative font you use. Make sure any characters you use are contained within the font. Or you will get an error telling you which one it cannot find. I try to add all the characters to my fonts but i miss one sometimes.

Wallace, I may have missed it but did your pipe font get finished? I know when you were doing phf files I thought you did, but is it finished in the .xcf file format?

Sorry Pat625,
but no it hasn't been made in the xcf format needed for the Custom Font Script.
I do have xcf files of all the letters and such,
so it can be compiled and made into an xcf file for use with the Custom Font Script.

If anyone is willing to do this,
I will post all the Pipeline xcf files?

Wallace, I have never done that. Is it difficult? What would I do?

All the uppercase, lowercase, numbers and other character.
Need to be in one single xcf file.
Each letter and any other character that make up the font,
need to be on their own layer within the xcf file.

I have one xcf file for the uppercase, lowercase, numbers and one for the other characters.
These files would need to be combined into one xcf file.

Wallace, I have the xcf files and will start working on them. Do you remember if the placement of any of the letters or numbers needs adjusted?
