Title: [FONT - TTF] Trigger Bold (UPDATE: Trigger Light and Trigger Mono!)
Post by: neologix on April 26, 2011, 07:32:31 pm
get it here! (http://fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/trigger_bold) made using fontstruct (http://www.fontstruct.com) in spare moments @ work.

214 theoretically usable characters are available, 4 of them being playstation button icons in place of lesser used "copyright" "yen" "multiply" and "generic currency" characters; best guess used where characters like "section" and "sz ligature" couldn't be sourced. based on the work @ moonstruck (http://www.genvid.com/moonstruck/downloads/fonts.html). trigger bold is provided under CC-NC-SA license.

UPDATE!!! NDS VERSION "Trigger Light" AVAILABLE! get it here! (http://fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/trigger_light) once again, made using the AMAZING fontstruct (http://www.fontstruct.com).

once again, 214 theoretically usable characters are available, 4 of them being playstation button icons in place of lesser used "copyright" "yen" "multiply" and "generic currency" characters, same set as "trigger bold;" best guess used where characters like "section" and "plus-minus" couldn't be sourced. this time based on the efforts of Corona!01 from Kagero Studios and Spriter's Resource.  trigger light is provided under CC-NC-SA license.

Great stuff neologix! Have you been doing font work as a hobby for awhile, or is this your first?

Great stuff neologix! Have you been doing font work as a hobby for awhile, or is this your first?

Technically, I've been experimenting with font creation since 2000, when I was somehow able to install Font Creator Pro trial version on one of my high school library computers; I had almost completed a basic 127 character font with it, but it actually BLUESCREENED THE COMP when I tried to actually use it. 'Trigger' is the first Truetype font I've officially released publicly, however, and that's only because it was easy to make and I wanted a more complete set of CT fonts than that already offered on Fontstruct (only today I found a guy who had a 98 character version of the dialogue font, along with monospacing it). I've made pixel fonts available for use in the Sphere engine (my personal game engine of choice) since maybe 2004, and I'm currently making a proper set of Truetype fonts for Kagero Studios to use.

In the future I intend on offering the SNES version of CT's system font in Truetype format as "Trigger Mono" to complete the trifecta. There was also something else I wanted to say here font-wise, but I seem to have forgotten it ATM.

That's the Chicago font from Mac OS 8

actually, it's slightly off. i mention in another thread somewhere here that square seems to have used three different versions of chicago in their snes games - plain, straight-up chicago in ff5, a slightly modified version of that in ff6, and a slightly modified version of the ff6 one in chrono trigger. the main differences are at the pixel level, but the spacing between characters differs on all three.

UPDATE!!! SNES MONOSPACED "Trigger Mono" AVAILABLE! get it here! (http://fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/trigger_mono) once again, made using the AMAZING fontstruct.

216 theoretically usable characters are available, 4 of them being playstation button icons in place of lesser used "copyright" "yen" "multiply" and "generic currency" characters, same set as "trigger bold" but adds U-ring and u-ring for some odd reason; best guess used where characters like "section" and "plus-minus" couldn't be sourced. based on the efforts of Corona!01 from Kagero Studios and Spriter's Resource.  trigger mono is provided under CC-NC-SA license.

I've submitted some packages to the Arch User Repository just by chance we have any Arch Linux users here besides me. The fonts have a few votes by various Arch users as of this post

ttf-trigger: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=58483
ttf-trigger-bold: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=58482
ttf-trigger-light: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=58712
ttf-trigger-mono: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=58481

Or, if you have an AUR helper tool (ie. yaourt):

Code: [Select]
yaourt -S ttf-trigger ttf-trigger-{bold,light,mono} --aur

that's a good idea; however, i wanted to manually edit the opentype names and such before doing any official packaging and the like, mainly b/c fontstruct's built-in naming is QUITE limited and as a result EVERYTHING is named as a "regular" weight in opentype.

you can keep this stuff up, but be sure that you update it as soon as i provide the next set of updates (which will include proper opentype names and HOPEFULLY the latin extended-b charset); it will be posted as an attachment, but one can always download from fontstruct if they don't mind improper naming.
