USE THE FULL-STOP FOR THE TERMINAL UNDERLINE.
“MOTU” IS A MĀORI WORD MEANING “ISLAND” OR “SEPARATE”.
THIS WAS MADE WITH FONTSTRUXIUS.

Very cool
@Sed4tives
Thank you.
BTW my MIDI patchbay's brand is MOTU, I actually never thought the word had any meaning but now it makes perfect sense!
@TH3_C0N-MAN - Once again, an excellent use of your FONTSTRUXIUS program to make 'handwriting'-/'brush'-type fonts. Congratulations on the achievement!
@Sed4tives
Well, yeah. But I don’t think that an American company would use a Māori word. It probably means something else to them.
Thank you @Goatmeal
@zephram
I drew them all together in a vector editor and then just duplicated the output and cropped for each letter. I could then pass them through Fontstruxius one at a time.
I think that I’ll make a video about Fontstruxius at some point. Maybe a tutorial sort of thing.
@All FONTSTRUXIUSERS, idk
Just thought I’d say that I did make a video about it:

what about the numbers?
I'd love to try this tool for myself but the project doesn't seem to exist anymore ;-; Is there a reason why it's no longer up?
Love the unique V and W by the way.
@AidenFont
• Nobody was really using it.
• It was slowing down the rest of my site.
• It relied on php, which becomes depricated extremely quickly. So I had to keep manually refactoring it every year or else it would become a security risk.
• Fonts made with Fontstruxius don’t work as ttf files, because they use hidden features of Fontstruct that aren’t expected to be used. So the fonts made with this tool were just gimmicks to view purely on Fonstruct itself.
@Th3_C0n-Man It trims off the decimals for individual brick scaling (sx and sy) from experience (clipboard manipulation for now, but having it added it as a feature would expand the range of possible slopes)
@AidenFont - @TH3_C0N-MAN is correct; while his programming skills resulted in wonderful images created within FontStruct (by using all of the bricks to form dithered patterns), the resulting TTF only used the single square bricks present in those dither patterns. For example, here is a test pic of my old SUV created in FontStruct and the resulting TTF...
@AidenFont - Here is another example:
@AidenFont - Here is another example. Excellent dithering, bad TTF results.
