there will be more soon!


http://w1.501.telia.com/~u50109765/funts.zip

Mention me in your game's credits if you feel like it. It sure would keep me going.
And please post a little something here if you liked it.

Shadow outlines for all fonts below!
It looks like this example


New fonts since the last update:
DOTT ingame fonts - font.100dott, font.101dott, font.102dott (by Proskrito)
DOTT credits font - font.dottcreds, font.dottcredsshadow (by me)

SO.. I'm happy to say that after some time i finally got myself into finishing the DOTT font! I've done what i could to make it look like the real thing...

It's included in the zip file.

[AJA]

Veeeeery nice... more!!!

[Scorpiorus]

Cool thingy here
thanks

[Synthetique]

should i make more with thin outlines too? maybe someone will use them=?

[AJA]

should i make more with thin outlines too? maybe someone will use them=?

I wouldn't use thin outlines. At least for now. I prefer the thicker look.

[Synthetique]

New fonts!

[Jimi]

whats that thing in the top left corner of the last font???

[Synthetique]

I have no idea.. I just adjusted it and made an outlined font to go with it..

[Igor]

Thanks for fonts Synthetique! Looking great

[Jimi]

I've done a non-chunky version of number one if you want it?

[Synthetique]

i have made nonfats of them allready.. i'll put them up if people want them..
thanks anyway

[miguel]

thanks synthetique, I will probably use them and Ill credit you for this

[Scummbuddy]

The top left corner symbol is kind of a space thing.  But you may have seen it before on an old style code like Q-Basic.  Its the cursor to show where you are on the screen.... like it'll be blinking.  

Very very nice contribution to the community.  Thank you very much.  Keep up the good work.

[Zeuz]

very nice fonts!
but is it possible to create larger fonts?
but only a bit larger
my game is 640*480 and i realized, that when i check the checkbox
dont scale up fonts to 640*480
then they are very high resoluted and look very nice
almost like ttf, i like this, but the only thing is, they are a bit small
so when you can create a font which is a bit larger it would look perfect 8)

thanks for your work!

[Synthetique]

i guess i could do that.

any other suggestions?

[AJA]

Yeah, bigger fonts that could be used in credit sequences...
What about the DOTT credits font? That'd be nice, if you know what it's like:



And maybe like the Monkey Island 2 credits font with similar shadeoutlines:



And Full Throttle credit font will be my last suggestion:

[Pumaman]

Nice work Synthetique, people are always looking for outline fonts

[jannar85]

Great job! These will absolutely come in handy. thanks!

[Synthetique]

how nice that people liked it..

more up soon..

[RickJ]

Thanks synthetique.  

May I suggest that a small text file be included in such font packs that briefly states the name of the author and the conditions under which they may be used.  In this way proper credit can be given to the author whenever they are used.

Maybe something like the following should be used?  Well, select any license or terms you wish but make sure you include your name.

SCI Font Pack: Crazy Fonts  

Copyright (c) John "Crazy" Doe, 3-23-03

[Synthetique]

thanks all...

RickJ:
the only fonts that i made is the outlines.. i downloaded the font pack on the ags site and adjusted them and then i made the outlines. so i dont know if i could take credit for it that way. sorry..

AJA: i've been searchin for days now for these fonts..  i only found the dott font, but in ttf format..  :'(
It's really hard to remake them without knowing how they should look.

do anyone know where i can look at it, or maybe get it just to make them darn outlines that we want..

Zeuz:
I'm workin on bigger fonts right now.

[Synthetique]

hah!    

i could probably make the dott font based on that screenshot... but there are three missing letters... Q.. X.. Z.. can you shoot these ones maybe? i would LOVE to remake the font!!  

EDIT (09:59):

oh.. i guess i was wrong! there are 'BIG' & 'small' letters..


EDIT AGAIN:

heck.. i'll do it anyway! it'll be a "DOTTish" font!

[Synthetique]

help anyone?

[Pumaman]

Yeah, those Sierra fonts are the copyright of Sierra, so we can't really give them any terms of use, it would probably be illegal to use them in a commercial product.

As for the DOTT font, it's not easy to get a hold of the complete font as I don't know of any tools that will display it - here's an extra screenshot in case it helps:

[AJA]

This is all I was able to find for the numbers:

[Proskrito]

mmm.... maybe you'll have to make some characters or numbers from scratch?

BTW, I ripped (sp?) the normal DOTT fonts, i didnt know if they had been ripped before, so i did it, they are here:

http://galeon.com/golfa/otros/fuentedott.rar

[Synthetique]

thank you guys!

proskrito: thanks! this saves me alot of work... i was going for that one next! Thank you!!

[Proskrito]

Oh, i feel sooo stupid :'(
First, i thought that the capital letters you needed were the really big ones...
Then i realized that those were not , and i thought "well, lets make Syntetique work a less hard" and i took each of them and arranged  them in a (the one below) little image for him"
And then, after hitting my head repeteadly against the keyboard, realized that you needed screenshots because each one is drawn at different vertical positions. (all of them are from the spanish version, most from the credits)

Well, i leave this for you, at least you can paste them in the sci studio, and later correct the vertical position thing.

Bottom ones -> capitals.  (note that the K is double sized)
hope it helps in any way

PS: The small capitals seems like half-sized big ones, so if you cant find some of those, they could be useful for you as a reference.

[Synthetique]

thanks.. i've allready made all but K and X, x and Y

and it looks like i got the K here..

Proskrito: what program do you use to rip things?

[Proskrito]

ok, at least the K worked...  

What program?? hehe... i make it old school,  Play the game, pause, Print Screen, paste in any program as psp, resize and erase the surrounding background.  

[Synthetique]

do anyone have a savegame near the end in this game? i would like to have it so i can see the credits..

[Proskrito]

I've almost finished the Monkey Island 2 Credits font, but it lacks:
X, Y, x, z. (well, also ? and special characters)
If someone could take some screenshots of the "x", i would be able to finish it.   if not, i'll draw it

[Synthetique]

proskrito.. i hope you make the outlined font that way it's supposed to be?

[Proskrito]

what dou you mean?

[jannar85]

Hey, what about fonts from these games?
I can contribute screenshots...

- Gilbert Goodmate (640x480)
- Curse of Monkey Island (640*480)
- Tony Tough (640*480)

[Synthetique]

well ofcourse! gimme!

[Vel]

How about a "fandango" font?

[jannar85]

Hey Synth?
I found the SCI font I worked on a few months back (Gilbert Goodmate).
Want to finish it? I want some credits, because it's almost completed

[Synthetique]

how could you take credit for it when it isnt your own font?

[Privateer Puddin']

"I found the SCI font I WORKED ON a few months back (Gilbert Goodmate)."

[Scummbuddy]

It looks to me like theres a problem with font.200       the left pic's parantheses )(.   there is an "I" that needs to be taken out between them.

[Synthetique]

ok thank you scummy

[Synthetique]

heheh.. no.. sorry.. but those arent parantheses.. its a "III" i think

[Pumaman]

It looks to me like theres a problem with font.200       the left pic's parantheses )(.   there is an "I" that needs to be taken out between them.

That's the Space Quest 3 status bar special symbol  ]I[   it's deliberate and is not the normal parenthesis, they're lower down.

[jannar85]

how could you take credit for it when it isnt your own font?

Because I made it..... or like cust like to say it...

"I found the SCI font I WORKED ON a few months back (Gilbert Goodmate)."

[Synthetique]

oh.. sorry for my ignorance... well.. i could finish it...

[TerranRich]

So, how about some hi-res SCI fonts? I could really use some for my game!

I'll PAY you!  :o

[Synthetique]

no need for that terran  

i'd be happy to make you some... anything special in mind?

[TerranRich_StupidIE]

At least some much-deserved in-game credit

Well, something sci-fi-ish but readable. It's going to be for LucasArts-style speech. Like maybe kinda blocky, but stylish and attractive.

[Synthetique]

i can do that!  

i'll be starting on it then..

[jannar85]

What's missing, or what else should I find?

[Synthetique]

that link didnt work

[Privateer Puddin']

works for me

[Synthetique]

weird..

[TerranRich]

So, Synthetique, how is the font going? I'm very thrilled about finally having a hi-res speech font.

[Synthetique]

Terran: how many pixels how do you suggest it would be? (capital letters)

I would like to make it like you want it..

[TerranRich]

I guess just twice the size of regular SCI fonts. (to reiterate what I said on #ags) Maybe a few pixels smaller?

* terranRICH shrugs.

[jannar]

that link didnt work

Mixnmojo is down atm ._.
Try again later

[evilspacefart]

awesome! Synthetique way to go!

[SLaMgRInDeR]

great! the DOTT is perfect!
(   (   ( <( -_-)> )   )   )

P.S - If someone else has GG, can someone contribute as well?
(I'll try and find my GG font so far somewhere..)

[TerranRich]

Hey Synth, are you still working on that hi-res .SCI font I requested awhile back?

[Synthetique]

on and off.. yes...

[jannar85]

Bah...
Found the stuff I worked so far on GG....

http://runestone.adventuredevelopers.com/temp/gg_final.zip
(Not all)

[mathi]

Can you make some fonts with letters: ä, Ã,, ö,Ö
because those letters are pretty important in finnish

[Ginny]

Those are great Synthetique!

I second Vel's idea for a Grim font, though I dunno if I'll actually use it.
Hmm...
I could get you some screenshots of it, though not all characters are used in the game I think.

[OneThinkingGal and ._.]

Very cool Synth, nice of you to do this.

Pity I didn't get here sooner....this might have helped. =>

[Esseb]

If you're still around, I made a SCI font version of the Discworld 1 ingame speech font about a year ago complete with outlines which you could add to your pack.

Here's a screenshot of the font ingame, I couldn't find the program you used to make the font display pictures in the first post otherwise I would show that:



I added my initials as the first character because I was vain and figured noone would ever see it anyway.

Download it here: www.esseb.com/div/esseb_DiscworldFont.zip

[strazer]

I have completed jannar85's font:



Suitable for 640x400/640x480 resolution.

- Fixed some y-positions
- Increased font height to 24 so dialog options match GG
- Added 0-9
- Added V
- Added Z
- Added z
- Added ;
- Added %

- Made up + = @

   Ã,, - #
   Ã¤ - $
   Ã Å¸ - *
   Ã' - <
   Ã± - >
   Ã¡ - \
   Ã© - ]
   Ã­ - ^
   Ã³ - _
   Ãº - `
   Ã– - {
   Ã¶ - |
   Ãœ - }
   Ã¼ - ~

Get it here.

[jannar85]

Hey, this is great
Cheers and thank you very much



Someone please post here again

[strazer]

You're welcome.

I was a bit concerned about copyright issues, so I just made my own font:



Same special characters as above.

This font is freeware, you can use it in any commercial or non-commercial project.
A credit would be nice, but is not necessary.

Get it here (Fixed version.)

[TerranRich]

I could still use some hi-res SCI fonts. I would give full credit to anyone who could make:

1. a sci-fi looking speech font
2. sci-fi-ish rolling credits font

This is for By the Sword.

[Synthetique]

heheheheh.. cool.. are people still digging here for fonts? that makes me feel like i started something good for once...

[DanClarke]

Any chance of the classic lucas in game font (SamnMax, Monkey Island, Indy)?

Or has this been covered? If so anybody got a link?

[Proskrito]

MI2/FOA normal, speech and credits w/ outlines:
http://galeon.com/golfa/otros/fuentemi2foa.rar
DOTT normal, speech with outline:
http://galeon.com/golfa/otros/fuentedott.rar

Inside the .rar archives, there should be a .txt file with information about the special characters and such.

If you want dott credits font, look for it in this thread, as Synthetique did it : )

[jannar85]

Actually... It still has the same design as the Gilbert Goodmate font
So I'm not sure about the commercial thingy-thing... I HAVE sent Prelusion an e-mail asking for their permission, but that was like... ages ago.. and they still haven't replied to my e-mail. Stupid Prelusion

[strazer]

Actually... It still has the same design as the Gilbert Goodmate font
So I'm not sure about the commercial thingy-thing...

Well, it certainly is inspired by it, hence the name, but I have drawn every letter myself and made sure to make them different to the GG font.
So it's my font alright.

[Scummbuddy]

Nobody reads my banner.Ã,  And I post in your topics a lot.Ã,  Ã, 

[auhsor]

Nobody reads my banner.Ã,  And I post in your topics a lot.Ã,  Ã, 

Well, maybe if there was a link. Not everyone is going to go through your profile.

[jannar85]

Well, maybe if there was a link. Not everyone is going to go through your profile.

Well, that's why he has a banner in his signature, with a direct link to the fonts

[Scummbuddy]

Haha, because of what aushor said, I changed it. Thanks for sticking up for me Jannar.Ã, 

[Gord10]

Hey; they look nice, Synthetique!

[auhsor]

Heh yeah I didnt think I was going crazy...

[strazer]

For some reason I put two outline fonts into the Norbert Nicefellow package. Thanks to avatar for letting me know.

Get the fixed version below.

[TheVolumeRemote]

It's been a while and I'm late to the party- does anyone have a working link for the DOTT font? So much thanks if so:)
