Hey guys i spent most of yesterday makeing my new font.

I will be honest and say its not compleatly mine for i tryed to replicate 04b_24 (and did a pretty good job at it, just a few things different) but this time it is optimized to werk in flash and ps. I know we have a few of the 04b fans here and this was my favorite font of them all, so i started from scratch and did it for flash. I got an idea floating in my head so i am going to put it to fontographer and will show it to you guys when i am done!

UPDATE
I redid the special characters, turns out there was a space after them so that it was hard to use them. My apologies to those on a 56k. The space isnt bad but it was driving me loco. If you want to download it again, the link is the new one. it is all fixed, just delete the font from your list then reinstall!

nice font! .ttf file is fine for me but the .fon file is all messed up! But I think that's just me!

yeah its ment to be at an 8pnt, so it will be small. i am thinking of doing the international characters though...and i might be able to re-gen for a 10, but i dont know how it will turn out. i got fontographer open so its worth a shot.

Thanks for the kind words.

I tired to make a pixel font but it wouldn't work :( - I made all the characters to find out it would get an error message when I save

anyone have a cool program to use?


by the way the font it AWSOME!
I downloaded it! That is really cool!!!!!!
