"Space Police" Font

[vangelisbricks]

As I was designing the Space Police vector logo, I thought I should create a font out of it. So, here it is the Space Police Font (version 0.4). BS folder: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=290906

or high-res-pic: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/oleth/Mi...cepolicettf.png

Installation:

Windows

1) download the font to the directory you like, but NOT in the c:/windows/fonts directory

2) then copy the file to the c:/windows/fonts directory

To be honest, I have no idea about fonts or any typo/LaTex experience. This is the first font I ever made, which means that some things possibly need more tuning. So, your feedback will be appreciated :-)

"Space Police" was designed with InkScape and then forged into a font with FontForge

Great work on this font oleth :-) (and now I see that it was you who posted good looking vector versions of miscellaneous LEGO logos too, which everyone should take a look at if they haven't already ;-) )

Thanks for your kind comments :-)

Each character was designed separately in InkScape. Then each character (I put one character in each SVG file) was imported in FontForge. Then I set some simple options like the left & ight margin of each character and then FontForge converted the data in a TrueType font file. It's quite straightforward. Of course there are plenty of other options and tuning that can be applied but I don't know that much!
