Fontastic

Bad, bad pun. Sorry.

I made a font! It's called ExcitinglyChnky in a tribute to the interior of the Heart of Gold. It doesn't have nearly a full glyph set, but it'll get simple jobs done.

If you do download it, please read the enclosed ReadMe. Also note that, while I'm offering this font for free, I do have it protected under a Creative Commons license.

Edit: I oughta mention, it really only looks best at 10-12 point size.

Edit II: The font is in TrueType format. In case you wanted to know.

Edit III: For some reason it would appear that the “W” doesn't appear. Bloody hell.

"Yes, but faster!"

And here, no one told me blog had his blog up again.

Oh. And I would like to know how one would go about creating a font. I'd like to make one based off my own hand-writing.

Ah, fonts. You know, I'll tell you how you could make a font. It's a little long for a comment, so I'll post it.

And don't feel bad about not being informed. It was a quiet announcement. I think I told a whole two people specifically.

Also, if you do make that font, I'd love to see it.
