Well done Issa, Rod and Alan! Amazing custom fonts - superb! :coolthup

I have been busy over the past three weeks or so trying to get very thin joined-up writing custom fonts to display to my liking - I thought it would be a few days work at most!

Here is a link to a Paragrapher update that has an option that helps if the custom font uses kerning paths:

You guys are amazing!
I've been bitten by the font bug a few years ago,
so I'm aware of what goes into making them.
Thanks for keeping the Custom Fonts going strong.

Amazing stuff folks!

Thanks Issabella for your kind comments. I create them using Affinity and Canva AI. :bigthup

I create 8 images at one time so in a sense i could create 8 fonts at once as the images all come out differently. One letter or number at a time.

It is actually a pretty good workflow as well.
I load a new image whatever size i need.
I paste in my prompt.
Select number of images.
Hit create.
I select the one i want to keep and save it as A.png with a transparent background.
After all the images are created i just open them in Gimp as layers and create the Custom Font.
Usually takes about 2-3 hrs in Canva then another hour or so in Gimp. :bigthup

Currently stuck on SteamPunk creations i think you guys are gonna love.
An example.

Another BRL.

Just a quick snapshot of my workflow window creating Custom Fonts with Canva AI. I really like creating Custom Fonts with my thoughts.

Pretty neat. Affinity is free to use but Canva is not. Also Affinity has it's own very remarkable BackGround Remover tool.
I have currently created 24 Custom Fonts and just need to run them through Gimp. :bigthup
