Somewhere online there is a site that lets you download the AV font.  Does anyone know where this font download is located??
 
 
Windoze wouldn't let me us it as a system font... But it wouldn't be too practical anyway... Or would it?

I believe the font is copyrighted by GM.

The script Avalanche written in that style is copyrighted by GM.  When I created the font letters to look 'similar' to Avalanche,  I also created the rest of the alphabet using some font creation software I had.  GM hasn't said anything yet.

Sperry,  I'll look into the font itself and see what windows is having an issue with (spacing, alignment probably).  Technically it should work.

I had only tried on one (Win 2000) system so far. There's two laptops (one is Win9:cool: and another desktop that I hadn't tried yet.

Thanx!

And GM just may like it!
 
Hubby has gotten the AV font to work on both of our windows units (WindowsXP). One thing we did notice, it only works with Caps, not lowercase letters.
 
That may be XP. The font is either black-filled in or outlined, depending on the caps setting. in Win 2K anyway.

I did a little playing with it this afternoon, there is a problem with the internal microsoft type of font I used (who knew?), when you want to choose it from the windows drop down in the display setup.  I will have to use a different internal format.  The outline letters won't work until I rework them, as they don't show when I convert to a new format.  I'll redo over the next couple days and post back here, plus replace the one on my homepage with the new version.
 
Interesting...  Even as a system font?

Thanx, Ginman!  The reason this came about is the cross (fun) taunting at work of the two of us in the shop, vs. a Doged Ram owner. He keeps his stupid male sheep logo on his screen, So of course, we have something Av-related on ours. But when he loaded a Doged wallpaper on one of ours, well! (I don't like too short of screesaver timeout - oops.) So, ha! fair game for an Av system font! (I doubt he knows how to change it back >:D).
 
OK,

New version of the Avalanche font.

The only real change is internal mappings that allow it to be used on the windows display properties drop down to change system fonts for message boxes, text etc.

Sperry, hope you enjoy placing this on your Ram friends machine? >:D

I have to wait for the opportunity, when he walks away and before the "stupid male sheep" shows on his screen! >:D

Thanx! Especially for the effort!
 
Take a look at font file in this old thread:
