C'mon you guys, U HAFTA help me with this, I just can't figure out how to
name a believable capital N (and K also)with this font i have shown below.
I just can't find a sample of this font readymade anywhere. And i mean this
exact font. (looks best in lucida console)
also i could not manage a lowercase 'a'.
cant fgure out how to draw left slanting strokes as in N and K , this font
seems right slant oriented !
I know theres a lot of extremely more talented artists out there..
HELP ME!
PLEAASSSSSE !
Amit

Thanks for all the suggestions! ,the ^ is ok, but it doesn't go with the
rest of the font..I still like this one best :
_ ' /
/ /
___,_/
and heres my final K draft, comments?
/ /
_/
_ <'
/ \
__/ __/
To give you an idea of what i am driving at, heres the whole picture :
--
/ / | / /
_/ / | / __/ /
_ <' / | / _ '/ _ / / /
/ \ / / / / / / / / /
__/ __/_/ __/ __/ ___,_/ __/____/____/
quite not proportional ,right ?
--
/ / | / /
_/ / | / __/ /
_ <' / | / _ '/ _ / / /
/ \ / / / / / / / / /
__/ __/_/ __/ __/ .__^_/ __/____/____/
see how that stands out ..

i guess not perfect but,
I hate those ''' !! my idea was to keep the shadow font as simple as
possible in the beginning...
which means the least amount of different characters used..I hate to have to
use that < and ' too in the K really .

My dream was to make a shadow font like this , but only in 3-d! we have so many blocky 3-d fonts in figlet.. but it would be so nice to have those as shadowy... I even asked earlier on this newsgroup about it.. Amit "Amit k.

(looks best in lucida console) let me add that also with a small text size.. the 'smaller' option in MSOE.
