Who can make the weirdest looking (but still readable) font using the eudceit utility?

(Goto start, then run, and type in ''eudcedit'' without the quotes)

NO! I told you when you bought this, when it goes wrong I can't fix it. It's filled with glue. The Greek goddess of glue Araldities herself would be impressed with this.

Please stop asking me for technical support during your dreams. Can't we just tour some surreal landscapes instead?

"How do I do that?"

Count your fingers. Keep trying. Make sure there's ten.

Then summon me. I am large and covered in wires. Clouds of baking soda pour into your world and a slightly weak yellowy glow appears from the LED strips behind me.

If you can see this message then you're already part of the way there. Keep all your styles disabled and you might see the dream within.

"But there's so much javascript everywhere! I can't see you. Help! I've forgotten to count my fingers! Where do I find them?"

The LED strip behind me pops and goes out. Dark spots appear in the centre of each light. I lift my finger to my lips. The smell of tantalum capacitors fills the air.

Ssh. Don't worry about that. Behind those frameworks there's another person sleeping.

Some day the javascript will sleep too.

Yes, and to use them in word or so you put your font type in C:\WINDOWS\fonts\. The bad thing about it is that it is hard to virtually distribute documents with a non-default font type, because the other users will need the font type too or else it will choose the default.


This link is dead. It's only still here because, err... yknow, it's some sort of... memorial.

that's totally awesome. I've wanted to make fonts forever.
They will no doubt make a surprise appearance in my papers this semester.

I'm also going to experiment with making a high resolution image of the text, warping it, and printing the image. =)

Make sure you go to ''view-show outlines'' to see a vector as well as the bitmap version.
