Once again I must call upon your collective infinite wisdoms to identify a font (or one similar): While I'm at it it seems most of these are "default magazine fonts from the 1990s"; does anyone have any hints as to where I can find more of these kinds of fonts? Thanks!

Is there any remotely easy and free-ish way to output from Illustrator and make an actual damnm font file? Everything on the low end of the market looks like "scan your handwiriting for rad font action!" and Fontlab seems way out of my league from both an expertise and cost standpoint.

Not that I'm aware of. You could make the glyphs in Illustrator and assemble them into a font with FontCreator maybe?

Does anyone happen to know the name of the main font is in You Don't Know Jack? I can't find it anywhere. I'm inclined to believe it's a custom font made by Jellyvision just for this game.

Oh, I'm bad. It seems that some digitizations of Dom Casual Italic had the looping "g" (like this one), so perhaps they tilted the italic font back? I don't know...

Kgummy posted:Since I don't really know that much about fonts, are those prices normal for fonts? Or is it because they're high quality fonts? It's because you're usually getting unlimited commercial use out of them (unless the license specifies otherwise) and even if you aren't, they're like the one thing in the US which doesn't have incomprehensibly strong copyright protection if you can find a look-enough-alike.

Everything on the low end of the market looks like "scan your handwiriting for rad font action!" and Fontlab seems way out of my league from both an expertise and cost standpoint. The free way of doing it is by using the program FontForge. It is an ugly program. Difficult to install and use, but will do what you are looking for. FontLab is the industry standard, but the cheaper Glyphs and RoboFont are also popular. Most of these have a limited time demo.

Some packages can go up into the few thousands for a single license. Font production is extremely hard to pice, some typefaces take years to complete, the amount of hours put into the finishing touches (which can take years, while the main design can be done in a few weeks). And that's not even talking about custom ordered typefaces...

For what it's worth, FontForge is basically the Gimp, but for fonts. Glyphs looks fantastic, and I've heard good things about it—I'm slowly saving for a copy.

Does anyone know of a font at least vaguely similar to the SGT PEPPERS / CLUB BAND on the drum here? I am trying to do my own version (so need extra letters too), and have fought with moving the letters around in Gimp, including drawing shadows in on the opposite side after cutting/pasting from the bottom words, and tried making new letters with what's already there (like R to D), but it looks rubbish. I am also pretty sure (though not certain) that the drum from the album cover (above) was hand-painted, in which case I've looked for a best match. There are two very similar typed versions that look close to the original (but don't quite seem to be the same - look at the B in BAND). If anyone knows what these are, or knows of a better match to the original, I'd be very grateful:

Since it was originally hand lettered you're never going to find a perfect match. Maybe take one that's close and tweak it in Illustrator?

I'll give it a go. I've never edited a font before, though. If anyone recognizes the font on the two bottom images in the post then that'd work too

Well, Asian languages are traditionally fixed-width, so it's probably just the combination of fixed-width and serif, of which there are very few designed in a Western context. Even when they don't use special fonts, they'll ｕｓｅ ｔｈｅ ｆｉｘｅｄ－ｗｉｄｔｈ ｕｎｉｃｏｄｅ ｖａｒｉａｎｔｓ￢

bigbigtruck posted:Lost Type's OIL CAN might work: http://www.losttype.com/font/?name=oilcan Ah, that would have been lovely. Seems like a pretty good match. As it was I took a font and offset the letters in Paint, so for example the C is just typing C twice, and then overlaying with a horizontal offset. Then I did the same thing with a horizontal and vertical offset to create the "shadow" I can't remember the font I used, but I think it was a standard Windows one, and I think I used the Bold version.

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

Fayez Butts posted:Can you do type along a path in Gimp? Cause that will treat you a lot better than Paint I used Gimp (you can't rotate things other than 45 or 90 degrees - I forget which - in Paint), and I've used typing along a path in the Corel equivalent of Photoshop (but after learning that, I sadly no longer have access to it). But the way Gimp seems to handle both fonts and paths irritates me - I read several guides and couldn't get it to work. I'm sure I was just missing something glaringly obvious, but the quickest and most stress-free way for me to sort it was: create the letters in Paint in two colours, open each as a layer in Gimp (sorting out transparency), position them over each other with the adequate "drop shadow" offset, --> merge down, select individual letter and paste into drum image as a layer, rotate and space by hand. As you can tell from the text, it didn't need to be flawless in execution.
