How to install and use?

Some simple instructions for installing desktop fonts on your Windows computers.

Some simple instructions for installing desktop fonts on your Mac computers.

Android and iOS phones are not recommended, as “installing” a font usually means “Replace the default font”. (And honestly, the apk provided for Android probably doesn’t work any more).

now i just need a fixed width variant so i can write proper ~ath code.

I think you’re mistaking me for a person with time to do arbitrary things.

Also, try again.

Instead of skin color modifiers for emojis its blood color

It’d make some sense - though several quirks are explicitly built around Emoji not existing.

If you’re asking, though, Unicode only has the five skin color modifiers, so it’d be impossible for me to configure a font to handle it even if I wanted to.

You kids and your modern caste-appropriate emoji

mojis?

What does Trolltype usually work on? Because the only thing I see so far is mspaint and I dont see anything else.

Trolltype will work in any program that handles truetype fonts, if installed correctly.

You may need to restart other programs to have them detect a new font. Also, most programs do not embed copies of fonts in documents by default, which means you’ll have to choose a format that can do this (like PDF) or install the font on all computers required.

INTRODUCING A NEW FANADVENTURE: SCOURGEHELM

The world burns - but before that, it simmers in its own misery. Two hundred and forty-eight sweeps have passed since a living troll has seen the DYING SUN: red, bloated, and CRAWLING EVER SO SLOWLY CLOSER TO YOUR PLANET’S SURFACE - all obscured by the raging electric storms that seem to eternally sweep the planet. The poles have long since MELTED AWAY into the ocean, and the continents have long since been reduced to a FRACTION OF THEIR FORMER SELVES. What’s left is a VAST GLOBAL ARCHIPELAGO and a NEW, WATERY WAY OF LIVING for the seething masses of trolls left behind by their queen. THE OCEANS have merged and married between LITERAL THOUSANDS OF ISLANDS; where there were once SIXTEEN GREAT SEAS, there is a SINGLE INFINITELY GREATER SEA, slowly swallowing your planet whole. Between vast stretches of TREACHEROUS AND STORMY WAVES there are remains of MOUNTAINTOPS and VOLCANOES, and not much else. Beholden to naught but the stars are the GREAT FLOATING CITIES: thousands of ships lashed together in a tentative bond against the worst the world can throw at their lot. The Empress is gone. The world is drowning. The Sun is dying. What will you do now?

Ok, let’s try this

Reblog if you would like @whatpumpkin to release official troll fonts for Hiveswap

Hallo there! I just downloaded the TrollType font, and have confirmed that I've got it working on Microsoft Word etc. But I'm wondering, how exactly does it work while writing in places on the internet? (Or can I write freely in that font anywhere on the internet?) Is it easy to switch from normal font to TrollType?

The short answer is no, websites have to be specifically set up for this font to be available on them.

There are some (admittedly poor) notes on https://trolltype.mspa.sudrien.net/#usage of how to set this up - If you have good Cascading Style Sheet knowledgeit’s enough information to do so.

For most cases, screenshots are probably a better bet.

[trolltype]

So, a bit of analysis from my perspective, as someone who made a font years ago

There is all of one piece of punctuation in the samples show - an exclamation point on the can label. This is pretty well in line with the original Daedric font. Of course, Xefros makes use of it during the chatlog... and quirks in general sort of mutilate written scripts. It makes me think that punctuation is an imported slang of sorts. (One should note my efforts in including punctuation in Trolltype were to satisfy roleplaying requests.)

Then, punctuation’s frequent use, beyond that of a quirk, might be “Revolutionary”. This may be proven or disproven in Act 2.

There are at least two fonts in play here - “n” curved out, “n” curved in.

“Manners for Royals” does have some interesting Arabic styling.

Primarily left to right, top to bottom, possibly due to Unity having the same technical reasons browsers have - certainly contributed by the fact people mess it up so much

EDIT: Trizza’s quirk - if it's imported, socially, obviously quirks allow some of that. Otherwise make little sense. Reaching farther, might be a  "compensating for lack of power" thing with her symbol

That’s all for the moment.

Hiveswap Alternian Translations

I went and translated every Alternian text I could find and read, all of it is under the cut!

The images aren’t edited, given that the resolution on some is already bad, so the translation is under the image instead of in a box on the image.

Now have fun knowing what stuff says!

Keep reading

*Idly wonders who would be the best person to contact about obtaining Official Hiveswap Fonts*

...I should probably wait, what, two weeks? before actually pursuing it.

But if anybody would want to submit a point of contact...

space error?

every time i try to download any of the fonts it takes me to a page that has a complicated error report i cant quite understand.

ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid at /trolltype.ttf

PG::DiskFull: ERROR: could not create file “base/17455/422676_fsm”: No space left on device : INSERT INTO “font_requests” (“file”, “version”, “browser”, “ip”, “referrer”, “created_at”) VALUES ($1, $2, $3, $4, $5, $6) RETURNING “id”

its big confusing and says something about device space which im 100% sure i have copious amounts of

@kurai-draws

Sorry, this was a report about the hosting server, not about your computer - apparently I need to do better cleanup with my more current projects.

Font download should be fixed. You might need to refresh the page, if you still get the message on your next attempt.
