This font is cipher made a few thousand years BC by Caesar (before he has killed, of course). I just modernized it a little by putting it in Fontstruct form.

Have you got some ancient tapes to know how read it?
Comment by Frodo7 8th september 2009
Cool idea!

@frodo7: If I got the idea right, to read the text set in this font you would need to apply a second 'decipher font' to shift all characters back to the right: ZABCDEFG...

@gferreira: Well, yeah. But where to find that Rosetta stone?

You would not believe, but I've already decrypeted a few wordsfrom the text below (screenshot). It reads "...quick brown fox ... over lazy dog...black quartz...codfish eggs..." It must have been an old sacred text.

This cipher is a simple one; yet hard enough to decipher that Caesar's enemies could not see. I, myself, think it is easy to see. Just to clear things up, in this cipher (not to be confused with a "code" or "an old sacred text") the letters are shifted once to the next letter. For eg., B=A, C=B, D=C, and so on until Y=X, Z=Y, and A=Z. It's as simple as that.

I give you 10/10 for the fun and laughter. I've got stiffness in my diaphragm. I keep my mouth shut, and never tell the enemy about the cipher, I promise. :))

Most wise of you to do so, Frodo7! I had "fun and laughter" too.

P.S. I'm not being pushy, but if you really do give me 10/10, please do so by rating it that way... if you want to... if not, that's cool.

Well, I gave you a full 10, no joke. Unfortunately it hardly improved your rating. Never mind. It was fun, and at the end of the day that's all that matters.

That's nice to hear. Strangly, that is the only time I have heard something like that in a long, long time.
