Font Sizes Solution

Post by nichole » Wed Feb 16, 2011 3:31 pm

Hi all,

I used one font for my first project and resized it for different labels but found that the smaller sizes often looked very bad. In case anyone else was having this issue, I thought I would share my solution.

I realized my problem resulted from resizing my fonts. So I avoided resizing them altogether by simply creating as many fonts as I needed such that each font was a different size (even though they were still all the same style). I did this in Processing by going to Tools --> Create Font... and selecting the font I wanted to use but changing the Size field each time.

Cheers,
Nichole

Also, I just found that Google has Google Web Fonts (http://www.google.com/webfonts) although it is in beta. You can download their web-safe fonts for free but they come in .ttf format and I haven't yet tried to see if this is usable by Processing.
