#100811 - "Trompe l'oeil" which translates to "foo
Responding to: ???'s previous message
What are "Trompe l'oeil fonts"?

sorry i just used the name we know them by. "Trompe l'oeil" which translates to "fool the eye" is a technique to make something appear correct to the eye.

It is a MAJOR "time eater" to create a Trompe l'oeil font, you will have to try this, then try this... and when you think you have it, you cange the scroll speed and BOOM there you go again.
Basically you must create a font where all vericals are reduced size e.g

normal  Trompe l'oeil 
 
   xxx   
  xxxx     x
 xxxxx    xx
xxxxxx   xxx
  xxxx    xx
  xxxx    xx
  xxxx    xx
  xxxx    xx
  xxxx    xx
  xxxx    xx
 xxxxxx  xxxx
I am sure you see the difficulty in making a Trompe l'oeil font that will appear the exact same. Please do not ask me for one, ours are copyrighted.

anyhow, have fun

Erik
