Thought I might aswell post a new thread, with a title that makes it easy to find when searching. I have now finished the font, it isn't perfect but I have to let it rest for a while and since it now is working good enough you might have it. There is a possibility that I will make an updated and improved version sometime in the future, but for now this is it. You might have to kern it in certain situations as with any fonts but I think it works pretty OK now. The only thing I ask of you is if and when you use the font for stickers, t-shirts, etc. take a picture of the product and post it here so I can have a look at the font in use. No special reason for it, it's just interesting and fun to see what you can make of it.

No. But you could try using subscript.

I know that the germans are up to something... They have asked me some questions about the font and I think they are doing some sort of member stickers or something...

ah, no lower case... If you look at the speedster logo the font is probably supposed tho be small-caps and capital letters, may fix this in the future. But i haven't even thought about lower case, you are not supposed to use the font in long texts... It would be much work to create all the lower caps, but if you challenge me to do it, who knows...

Actually if there is something that really should be improved it's the spacing and kerning but then again maybe i put to much focus on the details...

ARGH! The VX220 font attachment is "missing"! Where's it gone? Does anyone have a copy they'd like to post up instead? Ben

Cheers, but I think that file on your page is either missing or corrupted

Clicking on it brings up a 404 and when I save it locally then try and find it using the Windows Font manager it just won't admit that it is there. The saved version is only 218 bytes big which sounds very unlikely

Could you check that the copy on your website is working?

Thanks,

Ben
