Decorative Zeal Font...?
« on: June 01, 2009, 05:41:54 pm »
That's right, a font in the theme of Zeal. I've got all the letters--capital and lowercase, all the numbers, and !?:;-(),. , and that's all I'm going to do. This font is made to be decorative, rather than functional in a MS Word document.

However...I need a font maker. I can't find a font maker that lets me import images I've already made elsewhere, and this is the type of program I need. As of now, I have all of the files saved as photoshop documents so that I could feasibly edit them later...but copy+pasting each individual letter one at a time is very tedious, and I'd like to be able to just type out sentences. Besides, I want this font available to the entire Compendium, not just myself! So, anyone own a program like this?

And here's an example of the font...



Jeez, I hope that's readable. It seemed a lot bigger when I saved it...

Here's something a little larger...

"the dream of Zeal is alive"

I can't exactly tell how its Zeal themed, but it pretty regardless.

When I made it, it was meant to be Zeal-theme--the technology coexisting with the plants, and an emphasis of the heavenly bodies...sun, moon, stars...

It's obviously not going to have little Zealian sprites in there. It;s more a 'spirit of Zeal' thing.

Very cool. I don't know of any font-makers, but I'll look around and let you know if I find anything.

Thanks a lot, mav! Also, for those of you who like throwing the encyclopedia at people, I HAVE been looking for a program like that, to no avail. So...there!

It seems rather...intricate...looks like you'd actually have to use a size like that Z to actually see everything in it...>_>

The only thing with any actual Zeal font would probably be the Amulet Schala gave Janus...



But that's near impossible to read and may not even be Zeal's written language I guess...I know your font is just meant to be 'inspired by', but I figured I'd throw this out there anyways...

No...I've checked it at different sizes and you have to make it pretty darn small to make it unreadable.

Near-impossible means it can be read--at least a little. What part of this thing have you managed to decode, eh? :P

But that doesn't matter! I made this as a Zeal-inspired font, therefore the logical place to upload was the Compendium!

...! That's a lot of images...like, fifty...ish. I'd rather just have a font! I'm going to keep this topic open for a WHILE, and if all else fails, sure, I'll release the images...
a font would be way more user-friendly, though.

Indeed it would be nicer to have a font file, but I've yet to find a free font-creator...

Indeed like a manuscript or ancient artifact of Zeal.
Some image look identical to Microsoft default font, but with nice decoration art and pattern.
Is it actually necessary to create font with drawing within the outline of font? I can't see the drawing with size of 12 lol.
Overall nice job.

I chose that language because I assume Toriyama knows what it says...mebby...It could just be scribbly gobbledy-gook.

That's...odd...I used a pixel-font to create the small letters...but it wasn't Times New Roman or Arial or anything.

Er...sorry for being slow this morning, but can you run that by me again?
