• New Pony Font (Update: Added Numbers/symbols!)

    And unlike the old pony font posted a while back, this one actually comes in a TTF file, so you can integrate it with stuff like Photoshop or Word. 

    You can find it below at Purple Tinker's Website!

    Now with brand new numbers and symbols!

    1. I just downloaded but it doesn't seem to be working in CS5 for me :( It said lowercase problems, but all uppercase just didn't show up.

    5. Can't wait for numbers and lower-case!

    6. That looks pretty neat. I created a phonetic alphabet for ponies (see http://frith.dreamwidth.org/118939.html ) but applying it involves tedious copy paste into an image file. Very slow, even with the word list I was building as I went along. The only mechanise solution I can see would be a program that would read normal text, rewrite it phonetically and separated into sylables, and then have a second program take that output and match it to the MLP phonetic alphabet. With a spell-check. I guess it would take a third program to generate an image file with the sylables arranged in groups of four and in columns.

    7. If you want the actual font used, it's called Generation B. It's best to actually purchase the original font instead of ripping off the artist who created it.

    8. looks cool, but my only issue is how little room spaces leave between words, and that making spaces leaves a mark

    9. huh...apparently that only happens in wordpad. disregard.

    11. In the actual commercial font that was used to create the title, all the letters actually are lower-case. Many of the upper-case characters are a bit odd-looking, lol.

    13. Hah, I remember how I tried to make ponyfont too. But for some reason I forgot about it. There are tons of fans here, Somebody will do it anyway. And here it is! Thanks!

      I will look into the issue in WordPad... I haven't even TRIED the font in Windows yet. :) I am creating it (initially) for use on my Muffingram mailouts, and as I am a Mac user, I've tested it thus far only on various Mac OS X apps. But.... I do, of course, support Windows users :)

    15. Twinkletail: I've been able to reproduce the WordPad problem. I think it's because there is no proper 'space' glyph. Also, I accidentally saved the font as Unicode, even though it's an ISO-8859-1 font, really. Will work on these and release a fix by V1.5, hopefully.

    16. Basic Windows aps like Wordpad (and even Word, though I suppose that isn't quite as basic) can often have problem with non-professional fonts where everything is quite perfect. OSX seems to be able to handle fonts much better.

      I've also had issues with some OTF fonts in Windows apps because the kerning table values were off, but in OSX (and Windows on programs like Photoshop or Premiere Pro) the fonts worked fine.

    17. Very nice! Thanks, Purple Tinker.

    18. Okay, I've updated the font! Check out the page again; now version 1.1 is available. It fixes a number of issues. Still no digits. That's next. ;)

      ReplyDelete
    19. Oh, and here is a screenshot of v1.1 at work in WordPad :)

    20. As graphics artist by trade, I have to say this is exquisite.

    21. ^_^ Thank you, Fire.Esper!

    22. Your site says the font doesn't support "Lowercase numbers or digits". You mean "Lowercase letters or digits", right? Or is there such a thing as an uppercase number?

      Oh, uh. I meant to do that! Ehhehheh... Fixed. :) Thanks!

      ReplyDelete
    24. Can anyone identify the other font they use for the opening credits? The episode title, the director, etc..?

    25. @BronyMike

      I imagine you'd use uppercase numbers in a few situations, for example:

      IT'S OVER 9000!!!!

      (okay so I'm silly)

    26. Ok, Purple Tinker is now Celestia-Tier!

    27. @FasterThenRainbows

      Purple Tinker is way above Celestia-tier. She's Purple Tinker-tier. There can no longer be any reasonable comparison.

      Love all you do, Purple Tinker, for everypony. Thanks much~!

    28. for me is working verry good a lot of thanks i will use thes font al the days XD

      ReplyDelete
    29. Yaay! Thanks all for the wonderful comments. Let me know if there are any glyphs you need added, or if you spot anything that needs kerning; I am probably going to release a few versions with updated kerning prior to the next big release, 2.0, which will feature completely redrawn letters with hoof-drawn splines and fewer control points for a cleaner look at high font sizes. :)

    30. I'm having a bit of a problem with this font working on a Windows 7(64bit) PC. I installed it just fine, and it works in all my Microsoft Office programs just fine, but if i try to use it in Photoshop it just shows up as blank spaces. Now, I tried using it in PS on my laptop (XP) and it works fine. *super confused*

      anyone got any idea why this may be happening?

      ReplyDelete
    31. That's bizarre. I don't have Photoshop, though, so I can't test, I'm afraid :(

    32. Purple Tinker removed MLP Font download. WAT DO

      ReplyDelete
    33. As Celestia Medium was basically a 'derivative work' of GenerationB, I really can't ethically continue to distribute it... unless you have actually bought GenerationB (I have). Here's what I can do for you: If you can prove to me that you bought GenerationB (it's $20), e.g. by forwarding me the receipt email you received when you bought it, I will happily provide you with a copy of Celestia Medium. I still prefer the look of Celestia Medium for some applications and use both fonts myself.

      TOO BAD I ALREADY HAVE CELESTIA MEDIUM
      HAHA!

    35. Purple Tinker, I don't blame you for taking your font down. I fully understand your reasons for doing so.

      However I simply can't keep quiet about this: Generation B wants me to pay TWENTY FREAKING DOLLARS FOR THEIR FONT!?!

      No. Go -BLEEP- yourself Generation B. I'll just do withOUT the font. I'm not paying 20 bucks for a damn font. It's ridicules. I can see maybe 5 bucks or so, but 20 for just ONE font?

      I'm sorry, but something just doesn't seem right here...

      ReplyDelete
    36. Have you seen how much some OTHER fonts cost? $20 is peanuts. It takes a LOT of work to make a font. I know this now.
