1. Nice. Jeez, the art this guy has inspired is amazing.

And valuable.

2. Whats an Obamabat?

and if it's free I want one!

[eleny]

3. It's a font created from images of Obama instead of letters of the alphabet

Download, unzip and load into your fonts.

4. Sweet!

6. I'm having a problem with it

I downloaded it into my fonts folder, but it doesn't show up. Very strange.

12. I don't usually load new fonts in my computer the usual way

Here's what I do:

I put them in a folder of their own
Then unzip them in there
When I want to use them I open the TTF file from the C Drive andthen minimize it
Open my art program or whatever program I want to use
When I want to use the text feature, the font is available for me to choose in my list of fonts in the program

I used to load so many fonts that it slowed my computer down. So now I just keep enough standard fonts in there.

I just opened PhotoImpact and then used the "Add Text" feature and Obamabats is there, I could use it.

Hope this helps.

7. Jeff likes graphic arts more than math

Looks more like 20 than 24.

13. It's 24

The number keys are stars @ different angles. Took me a bit to figure it out. Oh, and he tells which keys are which on his blog entry. ;)

[eleny]

14. I just opened the ttf file from my c drive to see the images

There are 13 of Obama, 1 of the Obama logo, 1 of the "change we can believe in" sign and 1 of the Amercian flag. That's 16.

Then there are whole bunch of stars. But many of the stars are the same. I get a total of 8 different star types.

That's 24 total.

But it took me enough time to figure it out! :rofl:

9. Nevermind

It put the files in a new folder under my fonts folder. I should be all set now.

[eleny]

16. I'm glad it all worked out

10. That's AWESOME!

Thanks so much for making those! I am going to have so much fun making stuff for my store with them (is that ok? I'm trying to save up to go to inauguration).
