Can you do type along a path in Gimp? Cause that will treat you a lot better than Paint

Why not Inkscape? Because in that you sure can.

Bauer Bodoni is one of the few decent Bodoni's out there, almost all of them suck at sizes under 14 points.

That is if you want to use Bodoni under 14 points...

I've read a few books entirely set in Bodoni and it was rather unpleasant.

I didn't use Garamond for school stuff since it's pretty narrow. As far as I recall I used Bookman Old Style a lot because it's not :) 3½ pages could easily turn into 4 pages.

Anyone have any idea what font the Tamám Shud note actually is?
Some googling has led me to some people saying it's a variation of Uncial but I haven't managed to find anything that comes quite close enough.

For reference:


If it is a font why are the ms so different?

Most of the articles I've read refer to it as a typeface or font so I assumed it was some sort of faux-calligraphy font and that it was used to track down he specific edition of the book it's torn from. Then again like 90% of those articles are from conspiracy theory blogs so they might be full of poo poo.

Most people in the world don't know what font means so yeah.

Does anyone have any recommendations to a sleazy, porno-esque font? Sort of along the lines of these (doesn't have to be the same fonts, just looking for something in between or similar):



Not really similar to the ones you posted but some of these could work in a sleazy porn framework: http://www.houseind.com/fonts/styles/hotrod

^ There are a buttload of CRT-era fonts out there with tons of little quirks, like that r (assuming you're asking for the main option/body copy in white). I might give a search a shot later on.

Does anyone happen to use SkyFonts? It's exactly what I need, but it doesn't seem to keep its database of Google fonts updated. Kinda sucks for a program that flaunts its ability to stay up to date.

Related: the new Google Fonts is loving greatttt. I'm gonna need to use Rakkas on something.

I've never actually looked at Google Fonts before and the first thing that caught my eye was Arvo and it's so ugly it made me mad. THANKS, SPIDER WISDOM!

What's a good font for imitating the old DOS-y, pixelated text on this?



It's not very DOS-y because IBM PC character sets were (I think) all serif fonts, but maybe Here Lies MECC.

e: Nope, seems to be based on some other version probably.

I'm late to replying but thanks for this! I ended up just winging it. Most of it ended up as various Franklin Gothics with the Kan-Tro-Lite as a Tavern Open that I modified in a few spots.



The line weight on the K, T, and L should be the same as in the smaller letters.
