I don't suppose anyone knows of a decent way to create a font by just smacking in the characters from an image?
It would be kind of nice to have a moomintext font, if only so that edits don't require laboriously copypasting letters around.

( I know adobe showed off an 'ai' tool to make/generate fonts from images, but like a ton of their products it ended up being vaporware, or folded into some obscure menu in a random one of their programs, never to see the light of day again.)

I think it sucks that Zits seems to be going in hard on the "people get CANCELLED on social media for HARMLESS JOKES" angle but I also emphatically don't think the practice of social media ostracizement is such a force of good in the world that it's self-evidently beyond reproach and even the mildest of lampooning.

It's almost like immediate backlash against something divorced from context is the exact same thing that the strip might be making fun of

(Now that I've given it my approval, I'm fully expecting today's strip be like "Wow! Ben Shapiro!" "Hi, Kid From Zits, I'm here to back you up on this subject.")

Basic moominfont v0.1: I used Calligraphr and it was pretty simple, might add variations and tweak the character spacing and etc some other time.


Only has basic A-Z + some punctuation.

I don't trust Zits writer to handle this cancellation joke in his comic well. Remember that time Jeremy got super jealous of his girlfriend hanging out with other guys and we all thought it might lead to Jeremy growing up from it, only for Zits to drop the whole thing like a hot potato? The same thing's probably gonna happen with this bit.

Because the internet is giant and it's super easy to miss even relevant things.

It was pretty simple and nice to use, just set up which characters to set up. Download the template, copy over the letters from comic strips in photoshop, then upload template and it was done.
It's got support for variations as well. Aside from that I haven't tried going deeper into customizing stuff like the kerning and etc.

That basic moominfont probably only took me around 10-20 or so minutes, mostly spent hunting down all the letters, and copying them over.

Seems like it would be great for re-making other comic strip letterings into fonts atleast, but the thread isn't as edit-heavy as it used to be.

Didn't you mean to ask about flowers?
Moy looks over several carefully arranged research articles, highlighted book passages and letters from the editor crumpled in rash anger. She looks to Brigman and the two share a flash of understanding, a spark in the eyes. Only an artist/writer duo could understand the twin psyche of creativity and madness necessary to continue a legacy strip. Rivera was brash, boorish, uncultured. Exploding speedboats had no place in the papers... yet she was getting results.

"You want a battered wife story!? WATCH THIS!!!" The two cackled as Brigman's pen flew across the tablet, drawing what lay beyond human understanding out of the void and into our physical realm.

This makes the earlier strip about missing him after his death really funny in hindsight. :allears:

Plus, it's a lazy straw man version of what "cancel culture" (to the extent that it actually exists) is actually about : holding people responsible for their racist, homophobic, transphobic, pro-fash, etc behavior. I'm really disappointed that they chose that particular subject to cover, because Zits used to be one of the better strips on the comics page.
