This font was made with MS Paint and ScanFont 3.13. If you would like to make fonts like this yourself, ask us how.

My name isn't bob, and I'm not an owl. Why I use that name is a long story, and it has nothing to do with my fonts. My mother used to collect owl figurines, and we had a family of Barn Owls living by our cottage. I wanted to see how well photographs of birds would convert to monochrome, and this series is the product of that experiment. The pictures themselves convert well, but many of them exceeded the memory limits of ScanFont. Apparently, ScanFont doesn't like random black and white pixels here and there, so most of the editing was just eliminating those extra bits. I had to test the source bitmaps in test fonts one and two glyphs at a time, and I ended up with about 120 successful test fonts, and about 40 that were no goes. What I learned on this one will make similar themed fonts in the future easier to do.

Some of the Metaphase Brothel Graphix fonts appear on dafont from time to time, but most of them are only available on our homepage on Luc Devroye's site:

Most of my fonts are too complex for Windows Vista when Clearface is enabled, and the large file sizes make them too large for inclusion on a lot of other dowload sites. If you like this one, check out the other fonts on the Metaphase Brothel Graphix homepage.
