Can someone tell me...

[Famicoman]

I've seen some people who are making labels for some new homebrew games. Can someone tell me the programs, or sites they use to do this?

[Rocko]

I use paint and paintshop pro.

[Famicoman]

yea, but where did you get all that atari like labeling, and logos, and pictures?

[moycon]

I just use PhotoExplosion to make lables.

You can probably use any graphic program you feel comfortable with.

 

Here's an example of one done using PE:

I'm Dave Exton, some of my stuff is in the store.

I use, primarily, Photoshop 7 (for Mac) with a little A6 Wacom tablet.

Every picture starts out as pencilled linework though and gets scanned in and worked over.

For the occasional vector stuff I do I use the drawing tools in Flash (because they're easy) and I tend to put the manuals together in Illustrator.

A search engine and some imagination are a must.

[Famicoman]

Is there a special place that you went to to get the Lord of the rings label in atari font, and the Atari 2600 logo?

That special place is called "google image search".

[Famicoman]

I think you misunderstood, I cant go to google image and type in:

'Lord of the rings in Atari font".

[CPUWIZ]

Oh, you mean the font, I thought you meant the image.

 

All the fonts you will ever need.

Keep in mind it's a separate font that needs to be installed (usually simply dragging over to Font folder in the Windows folder) and if you have lots of font already, adding more would bog Windows even more.

In Windows arent the Truetype fonts loaded into memory at startup? Thus eataing away at the Windows resources...

I guess if you have a crappy machine 2 more fonts are gonna cost ya.

 

I think I have a couple hundred on my system.

I downloaded some fonts before but I could not find the appropriate folder to install them in and when I attempted to do so, it did not work.

 

Hmm.

[Breakpack]

How do you cut it so perfect for the carts?I dont think scissors would look too professional .....would it?

[Famicoman]

Can someone tell me how to install/use the atari fonts?

[Famicoman]

Okay, I put the fonts in the Fonts file in my control pannel. But when I go to write something, The fonts don't show up, can someone help me?

I use a stainless steel ruler and a razor knife.

 

@ Famicoman - you will probly need to restart before they show up. and if they don't its the wrong folder.

[Famicoman]

Can some one give me a step by step of how and where to put the fonts, I restarted my computer, and I still cant acces them, they just don't show up.

I thought one automatically got a crappy machine by using Windows

Or one could always use Postscript fonts instead with Adobe Type manager.

 

@Famicoman : What OS are you running? Have you tried to open the Control Panel/Fonts and then File/Install New Font?

You unzipped them right?

I just tried it with MUMBOSSK it worked fine.

I downloaded the zip folder. Unzipped the FONT to my desktop.

Opened CONTROL PANEL and then FONTS folder,

And dragged the FONT in.

It said it was installing FONT.

I open word to check for it, and violia!!!

You unzipped them right?
