The Font?
« on: May 25, 2014, 01:09:36 PM »
I know the likely hood of this being asked, etc, is already up but I'm too lazy to scroll through all the threads for a chance.
Anyways, I recently re-read The Andalite Chronicles :'( :'( :'(. I currently have an Animorphs related tattoo I need to get touched up and because I've reread Andalite Chronicles, I wanted to add <Hope...> under it.
My question:
Anyone know remember the font the books were originally published in? I also have the feeling I have asked this question before...

Here you go.  I don't really remember how to install a new font (it's been awhile since Goom originally showed me this), but I'm sure you can Google a how-to or something.

You said your tattoo is already Animorphs-related?  What's it of?  Better yet, post pics!  :D

I don't understand. I don't see the name of the font used in the book.

I attached it to my previous post.  You can download it from the attachment, and then Google how to install it as a font because I have no idea how to.  :P

See where it says "Animorphs Font.zip"?  That's it.

Installing this font, or any font for that matter, is really easy. In fact, I just now did it. All I did was click on the download, waited a second or three for it to finish downloading, then opened the zip file, clicked on the file inside to boot it up, which was a TTF (True Type Font) file. Then you'll get a page with two buttons on top, "Save" and "Install". I clicked on "Install" and it installed. Now I can use it on anything from my word processor, to my internet browser.  ;D

I don't know if it has an actual name, other than "Animorphs Font".

On Windows XP:

Download the ZIP, extract the TTF from it

Open 'My Computer'. Click C, then WINDOWS, then Fonts (C:\WINDOWS\Fonts)

Drag the TTF into that Fonts folder. That gets Windows to install it, making it available in programs' font menus.
