ProBoards Icon Font

[Ross]

I'm not entirely sure if this is the best place for this, but I'm hoping someone here knows something about fonts since I've spent and hour or two searching Google and have found nothing so far.

What I need is a font called "Photoshop Small", also known as "ADMUI3Sm". I've managed to get hold of it in a .fon format but for my purposes I need it in either a .ttf or .gdf format. Anybody got any ideas where I can either find it in one of these formats or do you know of any way I can change the .fon file I've already got? Any help will be appreciated

umm dunno.. i wanted it for my PS CS2 i have it pre installed in PS 7 So i have to keep switching programs to use it

I managed to find a convertor but it's come out nothing like I needed it to I'm trying to do some buttons in the same font as the default proboard icons and I'm sure I read that the font used was "Photoshop Small"

I've managed to get it working now... more or less anyway. I found a font called "Half Life" which as far as I can see is identical to the one used for the icons here. To be honest, I wanted it so that I could set a script to automatically make the images for me (similar to that buttongenerator.org site which used to do them all) and to save you/anyone else from having to make them manually

i see cool.. half life.. i have that font... hmm *goes to play*


OMG so it is... thnx ross.. no more having 2 progs running when doing buttons woo ;D

see.. i try to be a star to you, and you still end up being the star

lol, exactly, the more the better.

The font for the buttons isn't the Half Life font, though it comes very very close, so unless you really look you won't notice the difference. The actual font is called "OCR A Extended", the way to do it is type text in white and then apply a 1 px solid border around it.

I got that.
Is that AJAX? In any case, I'm liking it. Make sure you specify the file type on save though.
