a couple years ago I was experimenting with font development as a way of creating a special drawing based character set the idea was that with a font of this type, you could essentially transform any existing text into a drawing i made about 6 in total experimented with them in layout design software - i have some examples here and there but lazy to find them right now | | ||||||||\\\\\ | | |||||||| \\\\\ | | |||||||| \\\\\ | | |||||||| \\\\\ also could be applied to a webpage, but I stopped at that idea because the font would have to be dl'd in some way.... was reading a little about how they might be embedded.... etc etc etc | | it just dawned on me to try applying the font in a user style sheet now the goal will be to to develop more of these fonts, then create some sort of add-on for a browser or else just distribute them as a font package.... let me know if you are interested in helping out!
