I downloaded porsche.ttf (which by the way would not load into my "font" directory), but it appears not to include numbers?????

anyone have a clean scan of "914" as used on the emblems???

Posted by: McMark Oct 8 2004, 12:24 AM

No scan, but here's the one I use.

Posted by: McMark Oct 8 2004, 12:39 AM

That has numbers and downloads fine for me. I'd say your getting Eucked from every direction.

If you're gonna make emblems, make me a 2.3 emblem.

Posted by: Andyrew Oct 8 2004, 01:08 AM

914-8 5.7

muahaha

Ok, how do I make the script? I need to make a template so I can paint it on the back... (just for a look see...)

skip that... what font are you useing?

Posted by: Aaron Cox Oct 8 2004, 01:32 AM

mine works now.... but no numbers

Posted by: Aaron Cox Oct 8 2004, 01:33 AM

mike what .ttf is that with the numbers?

Posted by: Jeroen Oct 8 2004, 04:57 AM

That font sucks
I know, because I made it (something like 8 years ago)
The person that added the numbers to it was even worse

It's fun to see it pop-up everywhere though...
I've seen it on numerous Porsche sites, ads in mags, even on tv and most recently on a Renault factory racer

If everybody who uses it paid me a dime, I'd be f-ing rich

Posted by: ArtechnikA Oct 8 2004, 06:26 AM

next time you're in Philadelphia, i'll give you a dime.

Eurostil is pretty similar, the numbers might work for you...

Posted by: Howard Oct 8 2004, 07:29 AM

don't even remember where I got this. Jeroen, do I owe you a dime?

Posted by: Jeroen Oct 8 2004, 08:40 AM

Yeah, that's the font
And no, you don't owe me nuthin

Posted by: Jeroen Oct 8 2004, 09:50 AM

Posted by: scottb Oct 8 2004, 09:59 AM

ooooh! i want a porsche font file too.

where does one download this item so all my correspondence is porsche like?

thanks.....

Posted by: Mueller Oct 8 2004, 10:01 AM

I had to google it to find mine..........or you could try Marks attachment

Posted by: Root_Werks Oct 8 2004, 10:05 AM

If you send me this file, I will try to put together something with a buddy of mine here at my work. He does vinyl cutting as a side business. I have been looking for the 76' 914 2.0 sticker font. With this, I could have him make anything we want. 914-6 2.7
914-8 5.7
ect.

He has already said he will do it for cheap, hence I could take pic's and pass along the cheapness to club members.

Me, I want to make a 914-6 2.2

Posted by: Aaron Cox Oct 8 2004, 10:23 AM

jeroen, are those fonts or images?

Posted by: seanery Oct 8 2004, 10:25 AM

I've been shopping for a vinyl cutter.

I think I may get one soon.

Posted by: Rockaria Oct 8 2004, 10:26 AM

I made these images to use in a poster I was making. Maybe it could help?

Anyone want them Chromed or Gold for web designs?




These were some of the posters I was making:

Posted by: Mueller Oct 8 2004, 12:13 PM

hmmmm....I was thinking Titanium emblems....I wonder if we can find some good scrape and have Patrick laser cut it?????

Posted by: bondo Oct 8 2004, 12:34 PM

Nice posters! You selling them?

Posted by: Root_Werks Oct 8 2004, 12:39 PM

I like the posters as well. I would buy if they exsisted. Here is my playing around after cleaning up the "fuzzy"-ness, ready for my vinyl guy (I hope).

ok, dumb question. how do you get the font to work in word?

thanks in advance......

Posted by: seanery Oct 8 2004, 12:51 PM

download the font, copy it to your "fonts" directory.

If word is open, close it then reopen it.

Posted by: seanery Oct 8 2004, 12:52 PM

I like those posters. If those are your illustrations you should sell those. If they are scans I wouldn't sell them. They look similar to the Excellence illustrations.

They are not for sale. I don't actually own the original illustrations based my work off of. It was just a personal project I did for a class I teach in Photoshop design. The project was to make a design that you could quickly make changes to. Using multiple layer sets, masks and Adjustment layers in the process.

If you are interested I know the original illustrator is open for business and should be able to do anything you would want. His prices start at $350 and go up to a few thousand for a poster.

Hmmmm, Heck i was just going to paint mine on!!! (I'll do it to see how I like it... gota repaint it anyways.....)

Pics in a sec...

Posted by: Root_Werks Oct 8 2004, 03:41 PM

I was going to print this out and just try cutting it out on black sticker vinyl. I will see how it turns out, maybe take some pics after I stick it on the car?

It comes up not a ttf for me.

Posted by: SirAndy Oct 8 2004, 04:43 PM

ahhhh, the f&%^$ing BBS adds a linebreak to the start of the file.
you can either open the file in a hex-editor and remove the leading "0D 0A" or download the attached ZIP file ...

The zip file didn't work for me so I edited the .ttf file and removed the offending characters.

Works!

Need to look for the font '911 porscha' at the top of the list.

Thanks Andy, Mark, etc.

-Jeff

Posted by: Andyrew Oct 8 2004, 06:02 PM

File does nothing for me as well andy.....

Posted by: markb Oct 8 2004, 06:11 PM

Finally worked for me.

Posted by: scruz914 Oct 8 2004, 06:22 PM

If you haven't already, download the .ttf file from Andy's post.

If you don't have a hex editor go to the following link and download the zip file for XVI32. Don't use Word or Notepad!

http://www.chmaas.handshake.de/delphi/freeware/xvi32/xvi32.htm

Follow the instructions from the website to install XVI32.

Execute the .exe file to run XVI32 or open your own hex editor.

Open the .ttf file from the editor.

The first two characters (0D 0A) are the ones you want to delete. Just press the delete button twice.

(See the screen shot below of the file open in the hex editor.)

Save the file just like saving any other windows document.

Copy the corrected .ttf file to your font folder (c:\windows\font?)

Open Word and you should have the font '911 porscha' available.

Good luck.

-Jeff
