Hey guys, im currently making a captcha generator, you know, the images with a code in them that you have to enter when you want to register to a site. Anyhow, i found a really nice font in a captcha, and want to use it on mine, but, i have no clue what its called, and haven't seen anything that resembles it....

This is the image:


If anyone wants to look at my captcha image, here is a link to the preview (it is currently only the background, but you can imagine how the text will look ):

thats a real nice captcha you made, anyway im not sure of the font but try looking on www.dafont.com, if you have no look maybe try the visitor font pack - its simple and looks good when u put a 1px white stroke on it in photoshop

hope this helps

Yeah, i've used the Visitor fonts for my userbar series . The thing is, i wanted a rounder font that looks nice at large sizes, like the captcha one, which is about 18 or 20 in size.

Thanks, i like it myself hehe. Apart from being nice looking, it should really confuse the bots, as its got so many angles and colors . Notice that its random too, colors and shapes.

Well, for those that are intrested, fixed the fonts, and it looks damn nice. Here is the link again for those that want to check it out: http://beta.johnex.se/io.php?cmd=captcha

Will do some minor changes to it, like random wave, always centered text, and smooth text borders.

Well, there is the final version, hope it looks nice to you guys .



Any thoughts on this? You can ask what it is for if you don't know, or ask how to make it if you want. Change the topic to match.
