  • 39 years and an afternoon.

    Wish it went this fast, though!

    Glad you liked it.

  • I used a video camera, actually! then downloaded to imovie, added the b/w filter and sped it up to the max three or four times over. Found out about something called Screenium after I did this, though. Anyone tried it?

  • Can you list the program's your using?

  • The letters were scanned, autotraced and sorted in Illustrator CS3. I then copy and paste the alphabets into Fontographer 4.7.3 where the cleanup is done and the rest of the characters created.

  • @pezorama 1) FOG5 manual page 349; 2) I type them in, but you could create a text file to copy and paste from, to save some time.

  • Hey JG, I'm trying to learn fontographer and the manual doesn't explain it too well. Can you answer two questions for me please? 1] How do you set up the autoligs? 2] that 'mamemimomu, etc,' is there a short cut to that, or is it all typed in everytime?

    Thanks!

    -PeZ!

  • that was fun to watch. thank you!

    great font, too.

  • @WebmasterJG personally i recommend iShowU HD

  • I enjoyed watching this, thank you for sharing. Just how long did it take you to make that font? Judging by the looks of it, it must have been a couple of weeks at the very least... all that work boiled down into a video of roughly three minutes.

  • nice video!

  • good job man

  • Very Nice.

  • This is great!
