Serali88 OOOOOOOOH! I'm looking forward to seeing it! Make sure I can download the pretty font for the pretty scripty k? mrgreen I already plan to upload the font for download. It's not going to be ready any time soon, though, as the days are counting down and I start classes Thursday of next week (Aug. 16). That, and this font is taking forever because I'm kerning it. It literally took about 4 or 5 hours alone to kern the uppercase/uppercase and uppercase/lowercase pairs (such as Ab, Bo, CI, GL, etc). I haven't felt like taking on the lowercase/uppercase and lowercase/lowercase pairs. I might post a sample just for the heck of it, though.

Well first thing I wish you luck with all of your classes including your font dilemmas. And I'm definitely looking forward to seeing a sample. When ever you finish the font it'll be worth the wait.

Hey, I have a font I would much like created.
I'm not sure of what to call it, it's where each sound has a symbol, and each vowel has a diacritic, creating syllables.... Much like a syllabary, but its very straight forward.

I made that on Paint, and it is very sloppy. You might have to zoom in to see the glyphs, as they are very small. Let me know, and I will make them larger, maybe I'll even try to get my camera fixed so I can get pics of my notebook.
They are all the same height, and there are no capitals.
Yeps.

Yeps. The image doesn't show. It just leads right to the photobucket home page. *Checks out album* Also I have another font request if you're not to busy. I'll get image up soon. EDIT: Found it on your album it looks cool! I would love to see this turned into a font.

I do like the script. It looks way better on paper.
Stupid broken camera. evil

I know how you feel man I know how you feel. Felt the same way when my previous scanner broke and I had to wait forever to my current one. I wanted to kill it was so frustrating....

I'm still here, and I'm still open for making fonts, but I can't guarantee I'll get them done as quickly as before. If anyone wants a font, PM me. I log in to Gaia all the time, but I don't always check this thread. I'll notice a PM, but probably not a random post.
- - - - Anorectic-Pandas, I'd love to make a font for you, but if you meant this image, then I'm afraid it won't be possible. sweatdrop Adding diacritic marks is very difficult in a custom font, and when diacritic marks show up differently and in different positions for different letters... It becomes nearly impossible. Even if I did manage to make a font from that script, it would be very, very difficult to use, and probably wouldn't look good. (The diacritics would never show up in quite the right place). The alternative method would be making each possible combination of letter + diacritic(s) into a new solid letter; it would look great, but would be impossible to type. You'd have to search for the letter with the proper combination then copy-paste from a character map... And with that amount of work, you'd better off copy-pasting images, since you'd have to make a screenshot to post it on Gaia (or wherever) anyway. - A different explanation -If you (or anyone else) have any difficult understanding this... My best analogy is that the regular letter o is a single symbol. If you want ö (umlaut o), you have to find a completely separate symbol, because you can't just type an umlaut and have it appear above the regular o. The way I make diacritics in fonts is to have a key set aside for each diacritic mark. For example, you could type o and then : and it would appear as ö even though it would be two symbols (with the umlaut shifted to the left so it LOOKS like it's on the o). This makes it very easy to type, since you have only a few symbols, and you can create whichever combinations you need. When diacritic marks can show up in different places on different symbols, though, you need a new key set aside for each possible diacritic placement. Then you have to remember "which key does the E diacritic mark that will fit on the first spot on the K letter?" And even then, the diacritics are likely to show up shifted off-center due to the way fonts work (ie out of my hands). When you have 5 diacritics with 27 base letters, and each of those 5 diacritics show up in a different place on each of those 27 letters, that easily adds up to over a 100 combinations. I'd probably run out of easily accessible keyboard keys. Each diacritic mark would take up an additional 27 keys for each of its different positions on the base letters. This would be impossible to use, and it would be easier and probably look better to just scribble it out in MSPaint. If you were hardcore serious about having a font, and were willing to repay me somehow for all the work (seriously, this would take like 2 or 3 weeks to get it to a useful, decent looking state), then I could make you a font where each possible combination is its own unique symbol. You would not be able to 'type' in this font anyway, but you could copy-paste the symbols from an "Insert Character" or "Character Map" screen. It would look GREAT, but would take forever to type anything since you'd have to hunt down each combination rather than typing the parts and hoping they look okay together. Eccentric Iconoclast's Askripandi font is a good example of how, no matter how hard I try, making a font with diacritics just never comes out perfect.

I don't don't know if my script could be turned into a font. The sounds are split into two halves. The first half is just the symbols alone. To indicate it is of the second set, a retau symbol(which is sort of a backwards apostrophe or something like that) is included in the symbol.

I would love to see it with some samples. Sure here it is. The only reason I made it this way was because I was too lazy to think up symbols for the other half. Besides, it would be way too many.

The symbols on the right are the other half. I split the letters in half by voice and unvoiced. One half became the set on the left, and the other became the retau set.
The normal set has letters like b,d,g,j,l,r,v,y,z.
Retau is like f, h, k,m,n,p,s,t,w.
Or something like that. I have one symbol for each sound(consonant with a vowel).

That's cool! I would like to see more of it though. Perhaps a sample or something.

Can you make this into a font for me?
It is to be written in one line, without any spaces.
Sorry it looks like crap, my hands are being very shaky today.
Let me explain what they look like, because you can tell my the picture.
P is a small ^ with a dot after it.
K looks like a cursive 'e', or a loop.
T is like, one loop facing left, and another facing right with a dot above it.
L is like a hump, with a dot above it.
M is 3 humps, connected by loops with a dot above the middle hump.
N is like two K's put together with a dot below the middle part.
H is like L, a hump, but with the dot below the hump.
F is like ^^ with the dot below. It has to be point, so it doesn't get confused with N.
S is like a ^ with a slash in the left part.
Z is like T without the dot.
J is two humps connected by a loop.
A is two humps with a dot between.
E is a hump with a line going through it.
I is E with a dot to the right of the line.
O is two humps with two dots between them.
U is two humps with a dot below the middle part.
The space is the only figure to go all the way up (it's the highest).
The period is a circle, but it's like in the middle.
It's not on the same line as the letters, but it's not high.
I don't know how else to explain it.
OH!
Like the Japanese period, but higher.
The ' is the same.
The - is the only figure to go below the line.
It's basically and inverted space.
Is this too much to ask?
There are no capitols.
If it's not too much trouble, could you make it like cramped.
I want one where the letters are space out, and one where the characters are thinner, like in the example.
