Title: FW's Joystix Font
Post by: KEVMAN569 on April 02, 2008, 04:20:51 pm
Well I just downloaded this and I can't seem to get it to work.  I extracted the files and put them in my downloads folder.  After that I tried refreshing the page and no difference in font on the homepage.  Can someone tell me what's wrong?

I don't think too much of the site uses it.  Try going here:

http://www.famicomworld.com/Shrines/Shrines.htm (http://www.famicomworld.com/Shrines/Shrines.htm)

The "Shrines" text (above the Last Updated line) should be in the Joystix font.

You have to install the font:

Place the downloaded font file in the "Fonts" folder under Programs.

Stupid parental controls won't let me touch that folder.

I think it's actually the Windows folder, not Programs. But you'll likely not be able to touch that either, I guess. I love messing with the Fonts folder because there are some useless fonts you can get rid of and a bunch of cool ones you can add.

I had a Simpsons font at one point. There are some great homebrew fonts out there just waiting to be found. I wouldn't mind a Pokemon font, but that would just be for fun. :P
