Make Your Own Fonts, In a Web Browser

Dekortage writes "Although it's been up for a few weeks, today is the official launch of FontStruct, a web-based font creation tool. That's right: in your web browser, you can build your own typeface, and download it as a TrueType font. The site's user agreement requires you to release your creations online under one of the Creative Commons licenses. The typefaces tend to be a little blocky, but it's still impressive (and a great way to pass time)."

Just what we need ... the ability for websites to easily create their own font, ignoring the hundreds of years that have gone into perfecting typography.

My font looks like a database connection error. :-(

You must be new here...

Slashdot is now an experimental weapon to take over the intertubes. Its aim is to supplant even the biggest of botnets.

We are succeeding... one website at a time.

Time to make a Mohammet Font

That will be banned in many middle east countries and the Netherlands and will cause as Fatwa against me.

Ever letter will be an image of old mo' and if you change your default web browser font to it you will make all 72 virgins in heaven cry.
