Fontosaurus http://fontosaurus.com Original Fonts Wed, 19 Oct 2011 13:13:14 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 More Coming http://fontosaurus.com/75/more-coming http://fontosaurus.com/75/more-coming#comments Tue, 18 Oct 2011 15:52:29 +0000 danbailey http://fontosaurus.com/?p=75 I’m hoping to get another two remixes of Chankfonts up and on here soon-ish. Those will be Skylab (a remix of Orbital) and Fallen Thyme (a remix of Thymesans).

Also, if you want to see the technical side of the fontmaking process, I’ve still got a HOWTO that I posted to Flickr years and years ago.

I’ve got some other plans afoot, too:

  • Get my old font display graphics into a set on Flickr./li>
  • Get new hand-lettering font pulled together and scanned.
  • Finish cleaning-up the graphics on this site.

First font is up — the return of Dresden Firestorm — with more coming today. This morning, even.

Obviously, I have some graphic clean-up issues that need to be resolved in the near future, and man, I can’t let this site lie fallow much longer. The blog spammers have found me and I’m getting 70+ comments a day from the link farmers. Fortunately, Akismet and WordPress stop those from hitting the live site.

I’ll try to address some of that this morning, before I head off to do some work for my other small biz. Oh, and in other awesomeness, I’m going to be a dad! There’s a post at my personal blog.

More to follow!

I have decided to do something similar with Fontosaurus.

To that end, five percent of all revenue generated will go to supporting that organization. The people there are doing amazing work to help those that haven’t got the ability to help themselves.
