Banner Changed??

[Indu WangZi]

I just noticed the St. Louis SPORTS LOUNGE FORUMS banner changed..became much bigger...cool.

Also..can you get a different script that the dot matrix font used on the banner?? How about Garmond? Helevectia?

I'm just foolin' around with it.

I'd like to have it be randomized with world-rocking user quotes, but that'll come with a hack later...

How about this, Wang?

EDIT: Look up, see blue!

I aim to please.

Thing of beauty, mate..

I like the random quote generator idea...that would be cool...

Aimee Bender, a wonderful author who I'd recommend, especially Girl in a Flammable Skirt, did little vignettes on various fonts. It's here and it's good

...I have a file called “Fonts,” where I make up different stories about fonts in the different fonts. They’re like Helvetica, who is this fully realized person in my mind. Helvetica and her vinyl boots.

No garmond, though, Wanger..why don't you write it?

It looked great at home... and it looks like shit on the computer at my office....

Damn.

The spacing is all f'd up. Damn auto-stretching tables!

its not the auto spacing of the table.



It is 400 by 52.

The problem is your choice of fonts.

I have mini 7 or tencity if you want them.

To use either one of them -

you have to turn off anti-aliasing in the imaging program (photoshop etc).

And you have to increase sizes to the power of 2. For example for Mini 7 - your font size can be either 7, 14, 21, etc.

Same for Tencity (10, 20, 30 etc).

If u want these pixel fonts, let me know and I'll be happy to send u a copy.

Are you using a MAC at home? Graphics always look 10x better on a MAC.
