Font Display Script Rel5 (now optionally Dingbat friendly)

Graechan · **Posted:** Sat Nov 17, 2012 9:35 pm **(#1)**

This is a script I have used to Test my Alpha-to-Logo scripts as it produces a fontname, user defined text then a fontmap

; Rel 0.02 - Changed Layout-1 to one posted by Barbie, thank you Barbie, Also added a Pattern background option as suggested by Anmal

; Rel 0.03 - Added a letter spacing adjustment

; Rel 0.04 - Changed the header text to always use the 'Sans' font

; Rel 0.05 - Changed the header text to optionally use the 'Sans' font

see Menu Below

Menu location > right click in the fonts dialogue

I am posting as it may be of use to others and The images below are from the script

Layout-1

Layout-2

Release 5 is below

A dingbat font. I had to make a new layer to name the font in text. I can see where this will be very handy. Cool script, Graechan!!!

'O' I already new of it's shortcomings with dingbats e.t.c. but it was primarily intended for text fonts.

Graechan - Nice looking script, will be very handy.

Works like a charm Graechan. This is what I got with your revision to the scripts. This will come in handy. Three thumbs up. (Pieces of Eight came off dafont.com, as most my fonts do.)

Oh, Hell yes! Thanks Graechan. :jumpclap

a very useful script, makes really nice font charts.

i chose to run this with a transparent background and added the pattern fill afterwards, but it would speed up my font chart making a lot if there was a pattern fill background option.

barbie: your edit tidied things up so nicely, thank you for sharing! (btw, this was the first time ever that i dared to change a line in a script

)

I don't regard that as a shortcoming. It would be horribly complicated to use another font in the script. I use a lot of dingbats and this is a very quick way to see all the dingbats in a font so I can find what I'm looking for. I know I'll use it a lot in that regard. I love the script. :yes

This will be very helpful with using dingbat fonts.

Pieces of Eight, I like that one ek22, had to get it!

Thank you Barbie and Anmal, your suggestions and changes are in Rel2, and as for changing my scripts I definitely agree with it as any thing that improves a script is a good idea

'O' Yes it would complicate things (but it's not impossible)

I'll Post Rel2 now
