Uh...links?

Spammer.

― David R. (popshots75`), Wednesday, 16 February 2005 21:35 (twenty years ago)

Shit, sorry. Rock Fonts

I went to see Goldie Lookin' Chain last night. My brain is tired.

― Speedhump Bungle (noodle vague), Wednesday, 16 February 2005 21:36 (twenty years ago)

HELL yeah! My resume is gonna look SWEET with Scorpions font! Thanks, noodle!

― briania (briania), Wednesday, 16 February 2005 21:41 (twenty years ago)

Metafilter is a neat site, isn't it?

(I told you, noodle. I HATE ROAD-BONERS.)

But the typefaces are kind of off on some of them. the Nine Inch Nails font is just bold Arial. bleuch. (Hi my name's Sharon & I'm a font nerd...) I like the Def Leppard font though.

but the N's are backwards! woo-hoo!

KISS RULES... or at least, I used to think they did. I still love Elder, though.

― Bryan Moore (Bryan Moore), Thursday, 17 February 2005 07:23 (twenty years ago)

neato, I'll bet they don't always carry through on the 'other' letter forms though...

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Thursday, 17 February 2005 07:56 (twenty years ago)

Good lord, some of thsoe are pretty crap.

And none are a patch on the 'Mark E. Smith's crappy handwriting' font.

― Sasha (sgh), Thursday, 17 February 2005 08:08 (twenty years ago)

how do you install these? (i suck at this compooter shit)

― latebloomer: HE WHOM DUELS THE DRAFGON IN ENDLESS DANCE (latebloomer), Thursday, 17 February 2005 08:18 (twenty years ago)

download them and put them in your c:/windows/fonts folder

― charleston charge (chaki), Thursday, 17 February 2005 08:29 (twenty years ago)

Uh-oh. No Killing Joke font AND his name being taken in vein?

I predict that Mr. In NYC is going to perceive this thread as a personal affront of an order commensurate with fire-dishonouring of the worst kind imaginable.....

― Stewart Osborne (Stewart Osborne), Thursday, 17 February 2005 09:45 (twenty years ago)

On the positive side, you could create your own Sex Pistols font by simply selecting a different font at random from the selection for each successive character.

― Stewart Osborne (Stewart Osborne), Thursday, 17 February 2005 09:47 (twenty years ago)

Hey - thanks. Call me vain, but I've been after one of those for years, just so I could try something...

I thought this thread would contain a compendium of catchphrases to make you sound like Alex, such as "an earshattering potpourri of vomitous dog drivel."

― Ken L (Ken L), Thursday, 17 February 2005 14:18 (twenty years ago)

Must my name be associated with this? Moreover, I'm a Mac user....thus I am unable to install the Iron Maiden font. And yes, the lack of a Killing Joke font is inexcusable.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Thursday, 17 February 2005 19:55 (twenty years ago)

Dude, you can install it!

― Fat Anarchy on Airtube (ex machina), Thursday, 17 February 2005 20:35 (twenty years ago)

Tell me how, Jon, tell me how! School me and I'll retract my claim that Nikki Sixx is your intellectual superior.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Thursday, 17 February 2005 20:43 (twenty years ago)

Alex - are you on OS10? After you double click on your font, it should appear in your download folder. After that drag the file (METALORO.TTF) into whatever font manager software you are using. That should do it.

― darin (darin), Thursday, 17 February 2005 21:23 (twenty years ago)

I'm convinced that some of these fonts are going to creep into the next Conan comic I'm doing for Dark Horse.

― darin (darin), Thursday, 17 February 2005 21:24 (twenty years ago)

OS 10 at home, OS 9.2 here at work...how do I do it for OS 9.2?

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Thursday, 17 February 2005 21:25 (twenty years ago)

hey i saw them talking about the new conan series on G4tech tv

― charleston charge (chaki), Thursday, 17 February 2005 21:26 (twenty years ago)

Hmmm... it's been a while since I've used 9.2. Maybe someone else can answer this.

That's cool, hopefully it was positive.

In a commanding, english accent, say the following:

"Computer, download the Rock Fonts and make it so!"

― Broken Hipster (Broken Hipster), Thursday, 17 February 2005 21:58 (twenty years ago)

How about in a fake Scottish accent? It always worked for Scotty on the Enterprise, although it did fail miserably when they traveled back in time in the Save The Whale movie.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAA! It's gotta have a real low, gravelly, grim reaper, heavy metal tone to it, too...

― Bimble... (Bimble...), Friday, 18 February 2005 05:23 (twenty years ago)

I reckon a German accent (or a push South African) would work better.

― Stewart Osborne (Stewart Osborne), Friday, 18 February 2005 11:00 (twenty years ago)

Still cannot install them.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Friday, 18 February 2005 18:20 (twenty years ago)

Alex in NYC-
Under System 9, put them in the Fonts folder in your System Folder folder.

― Elliott (ebb), Saturday, 19 February 2005 03:12 (twenty years ago)

I'll try that, Elliott. Thanks.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Saturday, 19 February 2005 03:22 (twenty years ago)

No prob. You may have to restar, and they may be chunky/jaggy, but good luck.
