Galactic Trade Standard on your pc! (well.. almost)

After messing around a bit in pfaedit http://pfaedit.sf.net/
I got the gts in ttf format! It's almost done now... but it's quite late (as you can see on the clock) and I am not going to finish it today (because I have to sleep.)

See a snapshot here: http://sheean.dse.nl/snapshot19.png

Cale/vx made a beautiful GTS font, but is completely useless if you don't want it to look like hand writing. This will be great alongside cale's!

looks cool, except i would recommend taking out the symbol that is located on the same line as your e-mail, it looks too much like the symbol in Half-Life (Lamda with circle around it)

That is the ugliest KDE3.1 desktop of all time. :P Nice font, though. Is it FreeType compatible?


[EDIT]
Err... KDE 3.2. On further viewing, those appear to be SVG icons, which is new to 3.2. Still...

Sweet... I assume you'll put it up for downloading once you're done? :P

I haven't seen cale's font...

I already tought that @ looked familiar, but I just changed the a with the svg one and made it fit...

I'm not quite sure if it'll be freetype compatible (I just downloaded that program today :P)

My desktop might be quite ugly but atleast it's very functional ;)
The icons aren't svg icons btw, they're just everaldo's crystal .png icons... this is kde 3.1-something.

I'll put it up for downloading as soon as I got the spaces to be correctly and added a few missing characters... then I'll make some more versions where you also have all those other characters (like a character for ship etc.)

But I have to go to school now, so bye!

OK, it's ¨done¨ now, I'll add more characters.. soon (whenever I feel like it :P)

Ooh. Tis uber-pimp. I love this. I'm going to randomly print things in it like 'Your mother is a prostitute" and post them around campus.

Errr... did you get Waylon's permission to do this? Or at least give him credit? There are copyright laws that exist even without a formal copyright. Not that Waylon will jump on the opportunity to sue you, but it's still pretty darned rude IMO. Ask!
Jan 09, 2004 Sheean link
If I'm not mistaken there's a copyright message somewhere in it (I'm not quite sure tough if it's still there when I converted it to ttf.)

I hereby give you Waylon's permission.

Actually, everything Waylon does in the employ of Guild Software, Inc is the intellectual property of the company (same goes for all of us). But, on behalf of the company, I do hereby grant permission for the public to make TrueType fonts based on the "GTS" IP :).

My new desktop (gnome 2.5.3, mozilla 1.5)

Doh. I forgot about this thread (heh, silly me.)

Thanks for the replies :)

I'll prolly make a new version soon with the same lay-out as cale's and with extra fonts added (those pictograms.. or whatever those are called; like 'you' 'ship' etc..)
