converting .fon to .ttf
.fon files are little bitmapped pictures of each character, used only by earlier GUIs that couldn't do vector drawing
.ttf fonts are font descriptions, used to make characters by vector drawing
so you can see how conversion could be problematic
Enter the Russians! All that ESP and psycho-mental-magneto research has produced something:
http://www.kgroup.ru/products.html
Find here a product called Kgroup PixFont 3.2 that will, allegedly, take a bitmap of your characters and turn them into discrete little TrueType soldiers.
You remember Kgroup? First Russian boy band? They had a big hit in 1982, "Wanting Much to Drink With You Cheap Methylated Vodka and Then To Dance Until Blindness Happen"

Oh! Oh! Oh!
Montoya did it AGAIN!
I started laughing so hard that SnowWolfe is staring at me, I'm trying to read it, but I keep giggling, I get as far as "Wanting Much To...Wa..."
He finally had to read it himself and then looked at me funny.
I'm going to go to the gym now, and I'm going to be on the treadmill and I'm going to think "Wanting Much To..." and I'm going to laugh and fall off. It's all Montoya's fault. I'm going to have a concussion and there will be neuro checks every 4 hours.
See that? See how I take no responsibility for my thoughts or actions?

my only comment would be that the abaddon font tends to be slightly overused.. ever since I saw it on a sign for a suit store here in town I haven't been able to attribute it to RPGs anymore 
lol
What about stonehenge? the font that slo originally used for the header image here at ys.org?
you know what I'm looking for... a good screenshot of the shift keys... from ` to the smile, sad, etc that the ys font had. the .fon file doesn't have them

Sombra,
I had to remake the sword in PaintShop pro, as resizing the sword to the pixel size needed to make a good printing would have been soooooo messed up that it was easier to just remake it... As for the fonts, those weren't abaddon font, it was... something else, can't remember... lol I thought of DragonWick, but it was really hard to read then...
