Misspelled "know".
Comment by Ivy Meadows (Isaiah Garcia) 6th may 2013
It is if you say (the top line for example:) they are lines, which shift down one pixel eventually and have their length reduced at the same time, and when the length is reduced to one pixel three times, at a 90 degree angle the same thing happens vertically ;)

Funny, before this FontOut I was inspired by Umbreon126's temporary image in the first comment here: http://fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/770608

Comment by Ivy Meadows (Isaiah Garcia) 27th june 2013
I'm pleased to announce the winners of FontOut8! In first place, with an astonishing fourteen points, is cablecomputer's beautiful chess set. Second place goes to ETHproductions' smooth, groovy Bauhaus-inspired “abc.” In third place is demonics, and it's awkward to compliment my own work. :-)

There you have it! Stay tuned for FontOut9, and happy FontStructing.
Congrats guys, you really deserved this!!!

(although i'm a bit sad no one voted for me)
Comment by Noah F. Ross (winty5) 5th july 2013
Good job, everyone! I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to vote, I was traveling a lot. Second place...wow, thanks!
Comment by ETHproductions 5th july 2013
Congrats to the winners!

@winty: you did well, I was definitely considering your second or third entry.
Comment by V. Sarela (Yautja) 5th july 2013
Is there going to be another FontOut anytime soon?
Comment by Noah F. Ross (winty5) 28th may 2014
Have the FontOuts been discontinued?
Comment by Noah F. Ross (winty5) 18th june 2014
I still have the password from FO6. I know I haven't participated in a while but I'd be happy to keep it going if forum gives the OK.
Comment by truth14ful 18th june 2014
forum is demonics and yautja I think.

Hopefully, it can keep going because this FO was quite fun.
Comment by Noah F. Ross (winty5) 18th june 2014
It'd be fun if the 9th FontOut were about one-dimensional fonts (yeah, I remember what somebody said about Barcode Battle)
Comment by minidonut 9th november 2014

Anyone wanna revive this? :D
