PROJECT: Non-permanent keyboard shortcut button labels for an old Pentium III laptop used as an MP3 player.
1. To reduce trial-and-error attempts, print the desired FontStruct shortcut buttons at size ~29 on a piece of printer paper first.
2. Place the adhesive portion of the Post-it™ note(s) *on top of* the recently-printed button labels; the printer paper is now both a carrier & release liner.
3. Reprint the FontStruct shortcut buttons again, this time over the adhesive portions of Post-it™ note(s) stuck to the printer paper.
4. Apply clear adhesive cellophane tape over the Post-it™ note(s) for protection.
5. Remove the Post-it™ note(s) from the printer paper backing.
6. Cut the shortcut buttons to size.
7. Affix the shortcut buttons to the keyboard.
That method that can be used to print key labels is not limited to this. You can print key labels of a custom layout if you want to.
Also, my middle school, when it was still there before demolition, had that exact same laptop in one of the rooms.
@Bryndan W Meyerholt (BWM) - Exactly! Wonderful suggestion, BWM. :^)
Hey, guys, you will never stop surprising me.
@elmoyenique - Thank you for acknowledging my silly little project. I have to do something between making 'proper' fonts... :^D
You hate post-it notes. The 3M company will be shut down and you will say goodbye to the Post-it notes forever.
Wow. Looks like another troll comment -- concerning Post-It™ notes of all things -- for these two font projects (the original here, and the follow-up "Media Player Buttons").
In that image of the font in the keyboard its likely! You're going to put more later or more glyphs?
Some symblox like to Youtube. 10/10
@JeycoMonge - This font is considered complete (as is the keyboard, which I still use at work, even this afternoon!). It did what I needed: 5 letters that had media player symbols on them to control WinAmp's music player. You can see the greatly-expanded sequel font here:
Media Player Buttons
which has all letters (Aa-Zz) & numbers (0-9), plus you can place the media player symbols in ANY position you would like. :^)
