I know... I know that there are already threads on this topic.But I made this thread because it would be fun to have offer to write things in Aquarian style of writting.By this I would like to give Alec an idea to make font of Aquaria letters for Microsoft Word, Excel and who knows what else.But there is little problem because there are missing some letter in Aquarian alphabet so you will have to think out some other letters.In cube it would be fun to have Aquarian font in Word like Arial etc...
Please Alec answer this (whatever it is) thread and say how you feel about it.Thanks.
I don't understand your personality so please don't stone me to death for this.And also there are maybe some really bad expressions that you can misunderstand so please forgive me also that.
Thank you for answers and with wish of good day or night I send regards.

Please people answer me.I don't think that it is written that bad that you can not understand it.Alec, Derek, somebody please answer this. :(
-
I don't think it's your language skills, I think it's just that no one knows how to do what you're asking :)
I'm pretty sure this (the font) is something that would be created when a boxed version of the game comes out, and would be used in the pamphlet and packaging material. If Derek (Aquaria's graphics artist) doesn't create his own font, I doubt one will ever get made except by fans.
Anyway, I don't really have an answer to your question. It would make more sense to ask Derek politely for a copy of the font if one is created when a boxed copy is released if it has a custom font. So if I were you, I'd ask again later.
-
There is a picture on the forum somewhere and I think the font will indeed be made by fans unless you look really nice and kindly at Derek, but yeah, make it yourself would propably go alot faster.
-
Er, yeah, I don't think making a font out of Aquarian is very high on our list of priorities at this point. But if you want to do it yourself, I'd be more than happy to promote it. ;)
-
Things is, I don't even know how to make fonts, if I knew how, I'd probably make it in a flash. :)
-
it is not that hard, I made my own handwriting as a font with hum... Font Creator or a similar program. Took me about 2 hours and the runes are easier, because they are seperated entities.
-
I could swear there was a way to make a font in Photoshop...just Google "Font making tutorials" and I'm sure you'll get dozens of hits.

If you really want to make a great font, my suggestion is to do a little research. I think you'll find the world of typography being extremely intricate, and to many, it's easily overwhelming.
Keep in mind you'd also have to create a lot of missing glyphs (there's only 6 different characters in "Aquaria", if you correctly consider the capital A as it's own glyph - leaving at least 46 more, plus numbers, punctuation, perhaps accent and diacritical marks...).

I think you miss the point. Afaik we are talking about the ingame runes, and there are 26 of them plus the dot ( =enough for simle writing).
If Czechman meant the font the Aquaria writing is written in, well, I think this font exists somewhere and you only have to know how it is called, to find it in the web...
-
Afaik this font was created just for Aquaria and that only 27 characters exist, the alphabet and the dot, and all the characters of aquaria are already in capitals, look at the title screen and what the characters translate to. If you don't feel like checking, the answer is CAPITAL LETTERS.
