Description My tiny-type is now available as a true-type font DOWNLOAD for file!
You would probably find this best in programs which allow you to modify kerning manually, though it can be used without this tweaking.

The font I pixelled px by px on my emoticons has been made into a font (thanks for the link *Mirz123 !) so now you guys can use it!
Despite being set at '10pt' in this 72 DPI image, the real font is 5px high. Includes several special characters too (something sadly lacking in many fonts that just put in a logo or a blank space)! Upper- and lower-case letters are the same.

FONT CREATED BY *EMOTIKONZ .
Please provide credit when the font is used.
Art containing font MAY be uploaded to dA (with credit).
Art containing font MAY be sold commercially without my permission, but it's still nice if you credit me and let me know.
You are free to use this for home use and pixelling hobbies!

The following thumbs are examples of this font:

How to Install

Download the file.
Open your Control Panel > Fonts.
Copy the file into there; it should install automatically.
NB: Programs already loaded will have their fonts preloaded. Google how to reload fonts in that program or restart your computer to have them appear.
Because of way my bitmap fonts work, Win7 users may have difficulty using them in MS Paint.

Oh wow!!! This font is SO TINY /squints

You're welcome. Stamps actually have a fair amount of space, so you might prefer this one instead: [link] ...it's slightly bigger, but easier to read.

I used it here [link]

I had to hand pixel it, though, because for some reason it didn't show up on my computer

Thank you!

Ahh... bitmap fonts of this variety often don't show up in MS Paint. However, they show up in almost all other programs including the GIMP (free) and Photoshop.

Okay, maybe I'll check it in Photoshop. I had it open in Word . Probably not the best idea.

Hardrockangel [2010-06-30 21:13:53 +0000 UTC]

This is exactly what I've been looking for, since the fonts I usually use are way too big for a space that is way too small. This would be just perfect!
Although there is a slight problem... I can't seem to open the download

Emotikonz In reply to Hardrockangel [2010-07-01 03:00:28 +0000 UTC]

You don't 'open' it, it is a font file, not a *.zip or *.rar.

Save the downloaded file to your computer (if you haven't already). Open your Control Panel and go to 'fonts'. Just copy/paste the file in there and the font will install automatically.

It's nice to get some feedback on it, a lot of people have been at least downloading it without letting me know what they think.

Emotikonz In reply to ejcm09 [2009-09-17 23:24:32 +0000 UTC]

Just tested it now; works fine for me.

Where are you right now? If you are using a public internet provider, like a school, university or workplace, chances are downloading is blocked to protect their servers and keep you on task. Alternatively, you're internet may be running too slow. And you need to give it a while.

Try downloaded via Direct Link [link] ...instead of the dA links, and see if it works then.

If you don't know how to install fonts: When you manage to download it, just save it to your computer. Then open Control Panel > Fonts and copy/paste it into there (so you have the original downloaded file as backup). This should automatically start installation, which will take only a few seconds.

Mirz123 [2009-09-08 10:26:45 +0000 UTC]

Cool beans! Looks good. Gonna have to try this out.

The thing about the "10pt"--that is a common problem with pixel fonts. I have a commercial program that creates them and the point size is always messed up. That is why you will often see a number in the names of bitmap fonts. It's basically an indication of the point size you should set it at when using, even though the actual font may be different pixel-wise.

Be sure to bookmark this as a resource for PA!

Emotikonz In reply to Mirz123 [2009-09-13 03:30:44 +0000 UTC]

I said I was remaking this at 10pt (essentially treating 4 square pixels as one) - but I had to stop unfortunately because there wasn't room for below-the-line things like commas... So until I find another free program with more room, this version will have to do.

Mirz123 In reply to Emotikonz [2009-09-13 11:10:55 +0000 UTC]

I think it's fine. If someone has a good graphics program, they should be able to kern and/or hand edit the font. That is what I did with my own Bitmap World font for years before I bought a commercial program to recreate it. It wasn't fun, but do-able.

Emotikonz In reply to Mirz123 [2009-09-08 10:27:58 +0000 UTC]

Oh, right!
I found on a higher DPI the font worked best at 2.5, so it would continue to change. I am remaking it at 10pt now... kinda... yes.
