Aquaria font
« on: May 16, 2010, 10:10:59 am »
First, quick story, I found Aquaria less than a week ago, and then only because I found the Humble Indie Bundle on Slashdot.  Anyway, I have a thing for cryptographic fonts.  I quickly went out to find one made out of the Aquaria characters and it seems there isn't one.

So, long story short, I made a font out of the images in the aquarian.png file from the game.  I didn't bother making up a lot of the oddball characters, so it's only the base 27 glyphs.  There's another thread (http://www.bit-blot.com/forum/index.php?topic=735.0) where Derek mentioned he'd be happy to promote the thing if ever it was made, so my question is:  Where do I send this thing?  I don't really feel like hosting it myself or emailing it to hoards of fans.

You could use dropbox to host it, which you can find here: Dropbox
By using my referral link we both get 250mb extra storage space and you can just drag it into the folder, and grab the download link.

Or you could put it on something like rapidshare, though that's far from as user friendly as dropbox.

That works, I suppose.

Feedback appreciated.

I think they look great, I for one don't know how to make a font, so I might be easily impressed, but still I'd have to say it's a well done conversion.
