IRT Bronx Express Posted July 18, 2011 Share #3 Posted July 18, 2011 but IRT Bronx Express sent me a link to download them but I deleated the PM.:eek::eek::eek: You can use the fonts found here if you don't want to make the actual fonts from scratch, which is what I did for all of my signs. That's where 553 Bridgeton downloaded the fonts for his signs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MainStreetBound7 Posted July 18, 2011 Author Share #4 Posted July 18, 2011 Thanks, so now that I have the fonts, how do I get the background? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IRT Bronx Express Posted July 18, 2011 Share #5 Posted July 18, 2011 It depends on the signs you want to make. I would recommend 500-600x75 for the green flipdot, and 700x75 for the orange LED. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MainStreetBound7 Posted July 18, 2011 Author Share #6 Posted July 18, 2011 Say I want to make a Orion V cng sign, how would I go about doing that, like with getting the little black dots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IRT Bronx Express Posted July 18, 2011 Share #7 Posted July 18, 2011 This sign, right? If you're talking about the gray dots, then you can't make them using the fonts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
553 Bridgeton Posted July 18, 2011 Share #8 Posted July 18, 2011 This sign, right? If you're talking about the gray dots, then you can't make them using the fonts. I tried to make those and I gave up! That recent sign you made me, I gave it to one of the mechanics and hopefully he can come through and put it in the led programs.

MainStreetBound7 Posted July 18, 2011 Author Share #9 Posted July 18, 2011 Yea those, so then how do I get them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That recent sign you made me, I gave it to one of the mechanics and hopefully he can come through and put it in the led programs. Yea those, so then how do I get them?@Both: Use Paint to make the dots, exactly 4x4, and space them out by 1 pixel horizontally and vertically. I don't recommend doing that since I don't know if the font letters will align well with the handmade dots. @553: If that happens, I want you to post pics.

Broadway Local Posted July 18, 2011 Share #11 Posted July 18, 2011 It's easier to start with a darker background and then use the tools on top to make the dots circled or squared. That's should be easy! :tup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rell Posted July 21, 2011 Share #12 Posted July 21, 2011 @Both: Use Paint to make the dots, exactly 4x4, and space them out by 1 pixel horizontally and vertically. I don't recommend doing that since I don't know if the font letters will align well with the handmade dots. He could try using one of the dots in the font; like typing one letter, taking a 4x4 square of those dots, and then using your idea -- that should keep the spacing working for the font, and the dots would fit. But that would take time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
