That took some time to make!

Excellent snippet to make many filter typographic variations

To start, now thanks to this new creation, I have been able to modify my previous Alphabet Texture Maker filter that was not so good before, but now with this Arial FF font it looks much better

Here is the built-in FF Lionfish with letters

And here using the LadyBug FF built-in

All these examples are only using 5 letters, I want to be able to use all the letters, and not only 5, so I will modify the filter for this.

Here is the same as above but showing the real final big size

And another example of this Alphabet Flow

THIRD EXAMPLE

ALPHABET FLOW 2

Another different way of making letters flow is using the awesome and excellent Paint Chips by b15fliptop

Here I have just used one letter to try it and see how it looks as this is a bit more complex to add multiple letters although can be done

FOURTH EXAMPLE

ALPHABET CREME

Now for something completely different, and good for morning breakfast

Great work 3D ! Is it possible to get the entire alphabet ?

Ghislaine Is it possible to get the entire alphabet ?

YES!, As ThreeDee have said the whole and complete alphabet is already available in the filter, is just that there are only 20 preset limit so they are not shown all of them.

Nearly 3 years after, I love each time more this Filter and the awesome and amazing work than here for making this letters and the way they are done and how the can be changed and customized

And the reason to put this post is that now is possible finally to use them ALL AT ONCE, and do not have to be choosing only 5 or 10 of them and make complex bomber arrangements, now with bomber plus is very easy to use them all together.

Again I can not thanks you enough ThreeDee for making this and be able to have fonts inside FF, something that FF team did not include in FF 5

SpaceRay, I think that you can put a Scale component right before the output and use the following settings:

Center X/Y: 0.5, 0.5
Scale: 1

Squash: 0 is the original, try out - and + values with a control to change the width or height.

UPDATE: In a little while I will give you a snippet with constant height letters and customizable width.

I have also found this outline increase made by ThreeDee in this thread and it seems to work increasing the size of the width of all the letter, it works right with but the problem is that it has a limit where it will make the hard edges rounded on some letters like S or G

Maybe there can be another component that can help to increase the edge or control more the result of maximum

I have simplified it to use only the Maximum component, as the other additional options makes the letter more even more round

Here below is attached the filter that I have made (well, really I just attached a maximum component at the end)





this ones above are the result of rounded edges

and a test letter...

In using this snippet, I found a minor rounding error in the lower case h. I've highlighted the component I modified (Profile Gradient) by changing the Offset from 0 to 0.001. The screenshot here from the letter h shows a thin black horizontal line which is not easily seen unless there is a light background. I'll post a fix in the next post.
