Enjoy!
crzyboyster:
I loaded those onto my ipod nano and I was blown away! Those fonts look amazing! I'll see about using them in my themes, but when I do, I'll be sure to give you credit.
How exactly did you make them, though? I have tried making fonts but they never come out good using the font converter tool on the wiki. And can you make some good sans-serif fonts? I'm getting bored of helvR10 ;)
karashata:
I used the font conversion tools on the wiki as a matter of fact, but it was a lot of trial and error to find fonts that actually converted well at the sizes I wanted/needed.
Unfortunately, most of the fonts that I tried didn't convert well, either because the letters all ended up squashed together or because parts of the letters vanished due to being too thin and converting to empty space. I found that the best fonts to convert were thicker fonts with large spacing between letters, as they tended to hold up best to the conversion. As you may have noticed with some of those fonts, they're quite wide and wouldn't work as well on smaller screen DAPs.
EDIT: I'm not overly interested in trying to convert any more fonts, because the process takes a long time, and most of the fonts out there wouldn't convert properly with the tools available.

I wish there was an editor that I could design on a pixel grid instead of vector. Any suggestions? I am running OS X, Linux, and Windows so I can run just about anything.
FontForge just doesn't handle bitmap well and fontlab doesn't do bitmap at all.
I am guessing it isn't possible yet to have different shades to anti-alias type? Maybe someone can work on a font format made up of GIF or PNG files so that we can easily create beautiful anti-aliased fonts easily.
