Creating your own font

Postby andylegate » Sun Mar 02, 2008 10:16 am

Hey, in the old Journal tutorial on Alcugs, there was a link that took you to how to put in your own font. Here's the link to it:

Making Your Font

As you can see, they are using the old UAM to make the font with, and make a p2f file.

Is this still possible? And if so, where does one get the UAM anymore?

Unfortunately, as afar as I know ULM is no longer available. All the downloads links to it are broken. I used to host a mirror of them, but I kind of forgot that I did, and removed all those files. Probably the same thing happened to the other mirrors.

Fortunately, we have documentation for the files, so it is possible to make another tool that creates these fonts.
One day I ran through the cleft for the fiftieth time, and found that uru held no peace for me anymore.

That would be great, instead of being stuck with the ingame fonts. The hard core fan (or inspector) tends to give you a hit for using one of the main charactors hand writting, and if you're writting in a journal, how often do you bring along a mini typewritter?

Not to critisize or anything like that, but this is something that really should have been kept, is it was a tool already developed, and is very useful to an Age creator. Even of you don't want to create your own hand writting, there are still plenty of free fonts out there that could be incoporated into the Age.

Unfortunately this isn't going to be in time to help me with my Age I'm entering in the contest. And since the tool is no longer available to us newer Age Creators, I'd better not hear about it from a judge since we're stuck using the in game fonts. :evil:
