Looking for a font made from food
Hi.. I'm working on a project at the moment and I'm wondering if anyone knows of a font which is made of food? Preferably different for each letter and brightly colored. If you know of any site that has them for sale can you let me know please. cheers Livonne
Re: Looking for a font made from food
Interesting idea !
Seems that there are quite a few options.

But you should know, that fonts that need to be installed on a computer, are usually in black and white.
We can colorize them in other programs: ProShow, Photoshop, Word, etc, etc.

Re: Looking for a font made from food
Ive found a few that are okay.. but nothing too special. Was hoping to find one without having to fill it in.. (I'm being lazy lol).. Thanks.. Ill check that out .
Re: Looking for a font made from food
There's no such thing as a font in color. Fonts can't be constructed that way since they aren't "pictures" of letters. Instead, they're a set of instructions for shape and position. There's no way around it--if you want color, you're going to have to do it yourself.

Re: Looking for a font made from food
There are bitmap fonts. Digital Juice might have something but I haven't been to their site in a long time. BluffTitler also has some but whether any of them are about food is another question.
http://www.outerspace-software.com/alphabix.html This will let you make your own bitmap fonts
The downside to bitmap fonts is they are not vector based, so they're not scalable, or I should say they are minimally scalable before you start getting the jaggies.
You can also try Jaguarwoman. She may not have food specific fonts but maybe you can something for your project.

Re: Looking for a font made from food
What Joe is mentioning aren't fonts--they're pictures just the same as anything else you might place in a layer--so don't jump up and down thinking you've found font heaven. However, this is actually the route most of us take when we want something no font on earth can deliver. We make the words as pictures in our image editors.

Hi Livonne
You might be better off searching in digital scrapbook supplies for a suitable alpha.
I found this one of a vegetable alpha

Re: Looking for a font made from food
Just a word of caution here.
The examples given by Joe and Diane are not exactly "fonts".
They are graphic files - images of decorated letters.
They can be used in Producer as we use all the other images, and they need to be animated separately.
They cannot be used like the normal fonts that we use for captions in Producer.
You will need to either use a graphic program (eg. Photoshop) to build your words, and insert the whole image in Producer, or you will need to animate each and every separate letter in Producer.

Re: Looking for a font made from food
Digital Juice has their "Texture Plugin" for their "fonts" which does what you want, although the result is (as others have pointed out) a graphic file, not an actual "font" you can use as a caption - you would have to treat it as a graphic. Works pretty good though. http://www.digitaljuice.com/products/pr ... p?pid=1090 and their "Fonts" collection 4 ... http://www.digitaljuice.com/products/pr ... sp?pid=976
I have not seen them on sale for a while, but they periodically have all sorts of sales on stuff.

Nice links, Mikey. Just love the fruit-centred textures.
Windows 7 HP 64-bit, Intel i5 2500K Quad Core, 8GB RAM, 1.0GB Ge-Force NVIDIA GTX 560i, Adobe Photoshop CS5, Producer 6 (GPU Benchmark was 336, now 324), a big old Canon 20D and a funky Canon Powershot G15
Re: Looking for a font made from food
"Texture" fonts can be done in Producer by typing a caption in white on black, capturing the frame, and then using the capture as a mask over an image. Granted, the image won't necessarily fit the letters such as is done in Digital Juice, but it sure can create some cool effects, including motion of the masked image.
We do have "Use Texture on Caption," but where the image falls inside the caption is barely controllable.
