you need another bold condensed font or one that's horizontally cut in the middle? or both?
- armed_rob0
I would like it to be with the box and cut and all?

i think it's a wee lill bit asking too much. the font looks din-esque. and i think, not sure, you have to do it by hand. it's not that difficult. unless you want to do body text with it.

try house industries maybe?
- tGP0
yeah, house is who makes the font i posted (called house broken)... im not sure what family it is under, i thought it was "flyer fonts"...

din-esque it is.
like the din schablonierschrift

See the problem is that I need to do something like that in flash, and the text needs to be importet from a txt file.
So I guess it means (wish/todo list):
1. Find a font that will work
2. Make the font in a font builder
3. New layout/idea

dude, just make a thru z, numbers, punctuations, the load. write a script that reads the text and goes thru it letter by letter and it generates the "txt" in the new typeset. basically oldskool lettersetting. i've done that in js and it for sure can be done in as.

use Univers Condensed and put the images in the background
- MLVR0
futura bold condensed
- MLVR0
err not bold perhaps
- armed_rob0
But the problem is not the typeface! The problem is I dont want to load each letter individualy...
I need them to be centered to the box, there is a big difference from a "S" to an "I" in wideness.
Know what I mean?

What is that easy font editor/builder called? Link me up please!
- rabattski0
well the instances doesn't have the same width either in case you want to code it. so you don't have to worry about that. plus you can read out the instances width anyways and place the next letter accordingly etc.

I sure it can be done in flash as too – but I cant!
Come on gimme the link to the font editor (not fontographer)
