Alfred Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Workbook? Which workbook? I see that you found it, but I think the answer to your question in the other thread is that the German version will be ready when it's ready!

Alfred Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Recently I bought Font Creator version 10, released in summer, there is huuuge improvement in comparison with 8.0. I am still considering to buy Glyphs because switching from macOS to Win (on virtual machine) is quite annoying. It would be nice to see a Mac version of FontCreator, but I don't know how easy it would be for a small company like High-Logic to develop a separate version for macOS at the same time as adding new features and bug fixes to the existing Windows version.

Milos Micatek Posted October 31, 2016 Author Share Posted October 31, 2016 I really love experimenting with comic book lettering in Affinity Designer! I am trying now to transfer same techniques learnt from John Roshell's video tutorial done in Illustrator and it looks that AD will be great tool for letterers (despite the fact that text layers cannot be exported to PSD as editable ones). See attached different types of balloon borders you can create with compounds or clipping with my new font in action.

Milos Micatek Posted December 19, 2017 Author Share Posted December 19, 2017 I am working on re-lettering of crazy psychedelic underground comix "Incantations Junkies" by Pierre Gilhodes. Instead of creating font based on the original handwriting I decided to trace several versions of each letter and then build the English translated text manually letter by letter using Assets. I have to admit it is very time consuming technique how to letter bloody 20 pages but it keeps the organic look of text still matching with original artwork. Yeah, maybe I am crazy as well v_kyr 1 Quote • MM Font Factory • Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hokusai Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Milos, Nice work, I've dabbled with type design but I've never actually made an entire font from scratch but it is only list of things to do! There is another user here that does comic book lettering. I've seen him around for a while but his user name is Jim_Campbell and his website is http://clintflickerlettering.blogspot.com. It's worth a read if you have time. Jim is a nice guy and very knowledgeable about lettering. Hokusai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Btw, is there any possible way to get the split view by horizontal line (not vertical)? Sort of...Use the screen grab function, then paste the vector view and wireframe view into separate layers. Then decide how much to crop or fade in or out. It's not perfect but you could always ask the team to add this function.

Milos Micatek Posted August 29, 2018 Author Share Posted August 29, 2018 I am quite missing Assets in Affinity Photo. It would be very useful in comic book lettering when I don't have accurate font. Here is the example where I created whole alphabet in Affinity Designer (I had no time to create it as font), then I built the text in some of dialogue balloons letter by letter using Assets and then copied it to Photo which I used to adjust and do little retouching of the original artwork. Question: Is there a plan to implement Assets to Photo? And similar.... to implement Macro to Designer? Quote • MM Font Factory • Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milos Micatek Posted February 11, 2019 Author Share Posted February 11, 2019 Some work in progress: semi-manual lettering of Czech edition of the graphic novel Ghost World by Daniel Clowes. I am using Assets in Affinity Designer to build translated text letter by letter because there is no time to create font based on original hand lettering... in other words I am just too lazy these days Alfred and SalfingerAndrew 2 Quote • MM Font Factory • Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SalfingerAndrew Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Wow amazing jobs, I've been playing around with making typefaces for headlines and that, but I've always wanted to make a full typeface. Have you said earlier that you used a PC software to make the font, have you tried any of the Mac version yet?
