I got rid of my custom font, way too buggy right now

Was it a ttf2pgf1 or ttf2pgf2 font?

Way too buggy?
Don't give up with just one font..
Some fonts will in fact work better than others.
Just keep trying around.

ok updated the program slightly - removed the bg image and added a couple of options i forgot about.

This is a really nice font and works in the browser also.
EDIT: Fixed Link

EDIT: I have been using this font for a while now and no bugs have occured so far.

I'm finished with this .I'm a Chinese PSP user so my music file was screw up so badly after using custom fonts from Da Font website.....so I'll change back to the large italic font that TeamOverLoad have made. it looks nice, my music file was fixed up and it have shadows...........I'm just gonna wait for the final program to come out....BTW Keep at it folks this mod is great

Nice GUI, should help a lot of people. What is a good amount for shadows though? I left it the default, but i have no shadows...

It's much better to find it out for yourself than to be a monkey pressing buttons. Batch files are damn useful but you should understand what's happening inside before you use them. (They could be doing deltree c:\*.* /y for all you know before you look.)

So. Put the ttf2pgf files (EXE and DLL) in some convenient directory (say C:\TEMP) along with a TTF file you want to convert (say it's named MY.TTF). Open a command prompt. Change your directory to the one you put all those files in:

Code:

---

cd  c:\temp

---

Now you can write:

Code:

---

pgf2ttf MY.TTF ltn0.pgf

---

This will create a ltn0.pgf file. You can take this file and copy it over ltn0.pgf-ltn15.pgf in the fontmod directory on your Memory Stick. Congratulations! You have converted your first TTF font.

Now, to make things more interesting - try making the font bold, italic and changing it's size to 20:

Code:

---

pgf2ttf MY.TTF ltn0.pgf 20bi

---

If you're feeling adventurous, you can try compressing it a bit horizontally (0.8x):

Code:

---

pgf2ttf MY.TTF ltn0.pgf 20bih0.8

---

If you want the letters to be spaced farther away (1.2x):

Code:

---

pgf2ttf MY.TTF ltn0.pgf 20bih0.8a1.2

---

Now, you can start messing with shadows. To get a more blurry one (blur radius 3.0 instead of the default 2.0) try:

Code:

---

pgf2ttf MY.TTF ltn0.pgf 20bih0.8a1.2 b3.0

---

Since you blur it more, it becomes lighter. So you'll also want to make it darker (intensity 1.2 vs the default 0.8):

Code:

---

pgf2ttf MY.TTF ltn0.pgf 20bih0.8a1.2 b3.0i1.2

---

Try having fun with different option values.

i get an error saying FreeType load 'FONT.TTF' failed. ??

Id like to report that my airstrip font works w/ the browser

Here are the dlls you will need. Just extract to C:/windows/system32

i run the psp font converter program and it loads but nothing happens? the *.pgf file doesnt appear?

i tried it but i got the blue screen unless you want me to keep the shadow file and those other ones in the fontmod folder and replace it with the *.pgf files you provided

cree: This means that something is wrong with the font or you got the filename wrong. Freetype is pretty good and rarely fails without a reason.

correct, cree. keep the shadow and all them. just replace the font files with the same names that are in the ttf.rar

Ok final version of the program for tonight (adding yet another forgotten option and credits - sorry guys)

PSP Font Converter + Gui v0.1b

Not to be requestful or disrepectful in anyway but, we've had the font mod now and it's time to move on. I may sound weird but, we can't keep talking about the font and we just gotta keep seeing what else you can create from this.

Heh ;/

I agree, Although we should still keep this going, I think skylark or anger should make a new sticky for custom fonts, and let this thread move to the next stage, Discovering an bug and exploiting it.

I think it'd be better to create a new thread. 70 pages is well more than enough. And yeah, enough of font mods.

I have discovered a few bugs in the font parsing/loading code but I'm doubtful as to their exploitability.

BTW, I added a shadow positioning feature for ttf2pgf2a... LOL! I'm simply a damn perfectionist, it's beyond my will to stop myself from improving my software.

man i left for like one day and BAM!!! 20 pages of posts and now i can make my own fonts :D

The more options the better. Keep up the good work. :]

the following font i found seriously hilarious so i thought i would share it with everyone.

Blade Runner Font

Some Screen Shots

http://www.dafont.com/img/charmap/b/l/blade_runner0.png

I'd slightly scale it horizontally (h0.8 or h0.9), otherwise it'll be too wide for the PSP :)

ill try but so far as you can see from the screen shots everything looks really cool & btw your tool is amazing

oh btw im not sure if youve thought about or tired but it would be really sweet if we could figure out how to change the menu icons IMO

I was looking into putting something like that into flashmod, I have to do some more research about the location, size, etc... I hope to have found the information at least by Sunday, but no promises.

How did u get it to say bad idea for the network update? i want it to say that!

flash mod I believe

skylark if you want to make a dedicated thread where we can just post updates to the programs you can post your update then i can post the updated gui using whatever new features you want.

I made a new batch file that takes all the parameters available for ttf2pgf. When you run it, it asks you for each parameter. If you don't want to use a paramter type nothing and press enter. More information is in the readme. Also this creates the fonts in a folder called fontmod in the same folder as the batch. To use extract the bacth file to your ttf2pgf folder. Here is the link: www.ravineproductions.com/files/Batch.rar

Thanks Ravine, this should help a few people who can't get it to work yet.

ok am gonna make a web site for all the custom fonts i make :P

You should've signed up with a .co.nr site ;) .
its free and they dont contain popups :icon_bigg .

Urgh, TK sucks, with that stupid 'your page is loading' ad.


P.S: Post 300

Skylark, can you expand on your theory that the bugs you have found aren't exploitable please.

Dude chill out. It hasnt been even a month yet. Exploits take time so stop asking. :/

Hey, we are up to 70 something pages - Can I suggest that this thread is renamed and a new thread is started that is dedicated to any work towards actually exploiting this new developement?

Its frustrating when n00bs ask questions that have already been answered, but 70 pages of chat relating to new fonts is really to much to ask anybody to sort through in one go... By the time a workable hack is developed (If even possible) we will easily be up to the 100th page!
