Formula Font... DONE!
« on: October 24, 2008, 02:15:02 PM »
ok I *THINK* I'm done. This is my first try at making a font so if you guys notice anything horribly wrong..haha please let me know.
There are actually 3 fonts in this pack.

Formula Reg.
Formula Solid.
Formula Thru



I'm not saying this is an exact perfect replica of the lettering, but I think its close, and keep in mind, this is my take on it I had to make up some characters.
With that being said I hope some of you out there find this font useful and ENJOY!

aw nuts.
apparently you can only download this file 10 times and then it doesn't work anymore.
i'll find some other place to host it.

yeah a rar file is just like a zip file. you have to extract its contents.
i'll see about a spot to host it and maybe put them in a zip file if that would be easier for everyone.

I've got them downloaded, but how do I get them to where I can actually use them as a font?
