A question about Vector fonts

[rjn2001]

I am using a thing from

http://members.optusnet.com.au/~mrjolly/software/doco/aspcanvas.html

which generates an image that the user enters to validate that they are present as humans, and not a computer registering.

I am having huge difficulties with the font that it uses as the users cant tell the difference between the letters etc. I need to change the font to make it alot nicer, i know this is prob the wrong forum, but you are all very intelligent people!

Any help would be greatfully appreciated!

I haver used this software quit successfully.

The only problem i had was trying to generate the arrays correctly from a database.


there should be a folder of extra_fonts, have you tried using using these? What about making the image that gets generated abit larger?


I have looked at the font maker it seemed abit of a ball ache to get it generated as you have to create the bitmap with all the separators in graphics package. not a quick process really..!

yeah, the thing is, I dont have a clue on how to mess about with the code in it.

The numbers and letters particularly the O and the 0 are too similar, and close together, making it very hard!, I would just prefer to get rid of the zeros and o's (!), and use a more solid font.(as it is currently two lines making up the font image

looking at the font files, it seems that it generates the the script by looking at the bmp pixel by pixel.

Look at the font asp that get generated


for the character !

Letter(0) = "00000000"
Letter(1) = "00000000"
Letter(2) = "00000000"
Letter(3) = "00000000"
Letter(4) = "00001000"
Letter(5) = "00001000"
Letter(6) = "00001000"
Letter(7) = "00001000"
Letter(8) = "00001000"
Letter(9) = "00000000"
Letter(10) = "00000000"
Letter(11) = "00001000"
Letter(12) = "00000000"
Letter(13) = "00000000"
Letter(14) = "00000000"
Letter(15) = "00000000"

best not mess with code you don't fully understand, but the process of making the fonts seems simple enough, as said in previous post it seems quite fiddly..
