Alien Fonts

[Golan2072]

I'm looking for fonts for the written scripts of the OTU alien races. Have any of them been done so far?

 

[Golan2072]

Bump?!

Could'nt You use a subset of arabic, thai or chinese characters ??

There are tons of alien looking typesets around...

Have you tried http://visionforgestudios.com/jesse/traveller/resources/index.htm

Much thanks!

I might look around my old backup CDs for Babylon 5 fonts, though - I have several of them.

However, I know that the Ct Alien Modules had alien script in them - the entire alphabets of some of the races (Aslan?) IIRC, so I was wondering if anyone did a conversion to font format of any of the non-Vilani ones.

Don't think there were any in the CT books. Maybe JTAS, I'd have to check.

Annic Nova had a few alien characters (in the name).

 

[Andrew Boulton]

True.

I once tried to think up some Droyne written characters, and I think GURPS did their own verion, too...

To make Your own alien font, You should try "The Alphabet Synthesis Machine":

Someone somewhere had the Vilani font available to download.

I'll take time to find the link but I'm sure one of the guys will beat me to it.

Although the concept is really cool, the alphabet samples from the "The Alphabet Synthesis Machine" seem a bit redundant. The first 5+ pages seem to have the same general shapes and concepts. I'm gonna try it out, though.
Edit: Interesting results. Would work better if they explained all the little sliders on the "evolution" step. end edit
