We haven't added the font file to the pack yet, but we will at some point in future and we always say our new fonts are covered by the license of the All Fonts Pack.
Thank you, I'll check them out. I am using Inkscape and Fontforge so far, but it's kinda hard to do stuff in FF, especially the kerning (kinda stuck on it lol). Is the kerning in Font Creator easier?
Kerning in FontCreator's not too bad, but it does have quite a few little quirks and tricks that get it that way.
Fwiw: can only speak from the perspective of older versions. I use FontCreator 11 for all Chequered Ink fonts; I've bought 14 and it changed so much that it massively impeded my workflow, so I went back down. 15 is the version on sale now; the kerning info I'm about to give may not apply.
There's an automatic kerning tool in FontCreator but it does require a lot of manual work to make it great. It's a bit of a dice roll; some fonts only need minimal adjustments, others you may as well clear everything and do it from scratch. It works off of the base height, x-height etc of each character, and some don't look great.
Thankfully, fixing is mostly a matter of creating a new/selecting the existing pairing of characters you want to alter, and then dragging them together or apart as required. There is also an in built code editor for them, which can be handy for fast changes, adding eg. accented versions of the same letter to the same kerning pair, and also prefabbing kerning for a specific font style if you know it'll fit similar-style fonts in the future. (Very handy when you've made 970 of them.)
There are a very (very) small handful with other characters like Greek & Cyrillic character sets but most of them have only latin.
There aren't any with full characters sets that include CJK for example, because there are only two of us and we're not familiar enough with those characters to do them justice.
Amazing font pack! I've been getting good value out of this even outside of gamedev for things like music album covers and visualizers for my work. If you do anything at all cyberpunk or sci fi or gothic themed especially there are some absolutely stellar fonts in here!
We don't currently have a preview tool or anything for them. You can scroll through our fontspace account to see each font in a big list if that helps: https://www.fontspace.com/chequered-ink
What a fantastic Font-Pack for a very very very awesone price. I create Apps and Games with in-game currencies that are unlockable through gameplay *and* also be bought with real money. May I use Fonts as purchase item with this in-game currency to be use-able ingame? In this case, we are talking about cosmetics for a riddle game (no media sold directly) but the feature to use it in the Novel Riddle Editor. Just to be sure here, for what I read that's the case. Thanks! Best, Patrick!
Is there any way you can email us more detail like some kind of video or mock up image of the mechanic you're talking about to make sure we understand it fully? Our email is support@chequered.ink
There is a slight difference between the two - definitely more than "a pixels difference" (see image below) but we appreciate that this may be problematic in your designs. We'll take the feedback on board and update it in a future version.
Just a heads up to anyone who wants to buy this for a video game:
According to the license, you are not allowed to ship the font files with your game. If you want to use them, you have to EMBED the font files into your C/C++ file if it’s compiled. If it’s a scripted language, sorry but you’re out of luck.
I didn’t see this before buying, but luckily my game is in C++ so I can just embed the otf into the binary. Honestly I feel like it’s pretty disingenuous not to state this VERY clearly in the front page, and instead hide it in a license agreement everybody knows no one reads.
Just to be clear: You can ship the font files with your game. People have asked us this on numerous occasions and we always say yes! please do!
The terms of the license do say don't redistribute the font files - that's more to prevent people from uploading them to font websites and stuff without our permission.
Anyone who's worried and wants permission in writing can always get in touch with us and we'll be happy to provide it :)
“c. You may use the Product in digital documents and software applications provided that:
i. The Product is protected from extraction by the end user so that they may not
access the Product on its own outside of your application.
ii. Your digital document or application is not designed to serve the same function
as the Product, i.e. the document must not allow end-users to use glyphs from
the Product for use in their own designs.”
Either change your license or check your lawyer. This very clearly says just leaving the otf file out in the game files as extractable.
Since there are only two of us in our team, and we are both on public record tens of times as saying that it's perfectly fine to do this, you can feel free to just go ahead and ship otf/ttf files with your game. And anyone who wants 100% peace of mind / concrete legal evidence can ask us for a signed letter saying so.
I will look into clarifying the wording in the license, there is clearly a balance to be struck to protect both our rights & our user's rights, but we have been letting people ship otf/ttfs with their games for 10 years now so I hope that gives you some trust in us in the mean time.
Thank you for your response, and I didn’t mean to imply ill will from your part. It’s just that legal stuff is scary, and when the actual document you provide people doesn’t say what you say outside the document, things can be even scarier.
If I may suggest something, I think it would be best if you provided a signed PDF saying what you said here, that it is OK to ship the font files with games. I’d do this as a separate (free) product on itch so anyone who’s ever bought a product from you can download it. That’s only a temporary fix, in my opinion. A real fix would be to remove that clause or reword it in a way that actually explicitly allows font files to be shipped.
Thanks for taking your time with this.
EDIT TO ADD: Remember to put the date on the signed document, with a potential clause saying it is valid for any font produced up to this point, no matter the date of purchase. If you ever release a new font, edit the date on the document and publish it again.
Does this support/have plans to support the cyrillic alphabet? Bought the pack either way because the current kenny deal is very quite much good and even without cyrillics this is very useful.
A small handful of the fonts support Cyrillic, such as "Squirk" and "Ninteteen Ninety Three", we don't add it to every font because there are only two of us and neither of us speak a language which uses Cyrillic characters - so it's a lot more work to make sure it's readable to native speakers & we don't always have the resources to do it. We're always looking to improve the selection of languages we support though so we'll take your feedback on board!
For the very small handful that are inspired by existing brands / products, I would probably avoid using them for anything commercial just to be safe?
That said, they are distinct, different fonts built by us from the ground up. Technically there should be no problem, but you know how these things go.
Sorry I missed replying to this comment, The ones you shouldn't use for commercial use are the ones listed as free on our dafont page (this link should show you 23 fonts in total): https://www.dafont.com/chequered-ink.d6231?l[]=10&l[]=1
except CI Game Dev and Teeny Tiny Pixls are allowed. They're just usually free.
And not all of those fonts are in the pack anyway because we left out some of them on purpose to avoid any issues.... but just in case any of them snuck in those are the ones to watch out for.
Thank you for your reply. I purchased the package. It would be helpful to know for sure which ones do not have a license. Perhaps you could divide them into folders or remove them from the package.
Hello! I just purchased and installed these fonts on Kenney's recommendation and discount. Thank you for sharing such a wild number of fonts at such a good price! Do you have any recommendations for a good way to preview the fonts? Dafont and fontspace are good, but I'm wondering if there are ways to filter by style too, or just view them all on one long page.
Thanks for grabbing the pack! The pack itself is separated by style, although you would then have to double-click fonts to get a proper look at them. We haven't come up with a better way of sorting or previewing them yet, sorry - after a quick search we found this which might be helpful? FontBase — a Free, Beautiful, and Fast Font Manager
1. If we needed to check if someone has a license, in the first instance we would just ask nicely to see some proof or something. Often we don't really need to, though. Either we already have an inkling who has it (because this is a very close-knit community) or sometimes people just come and tell us when they're using our stuff anyway! (we love to see our fonts being used)
2. Yes you can. We periodically add all of our new fonts to the pack (the last time we did so was September 4th) so even if you find a newer font on dafont or fontspace, it just means we haven't gotten around to putting it in the pack yet and you can just go ahead and use it.
3. Yes, see above. (Unless we release a font and explicitly state that's it's not for commercial use or something. But this literally only applies to like 3 fonts we've released in the last 10 years,)
This is a wonderful package. I don't want to make you all angry by doing something wrong! Above it says "Every commercial font we've ever made until now" but I am seeing fonts on fontspace that were not in my downloaded content (for instance, Spiced Rum Supernova). Am I correct to assume that if it isn't in the pack, it was not included? Thank you for this clarification, nothing but respect for you, I hope it does not appear as if I am looking a gift horse in the mouth, and if it does, I give my humblest apology.
Hiya - all our newest fonts are included in the All Fonts Pack license, although the AFP download itself may not have yet been updated to include them. By all means download those newer fonts from FontSpace or DaFont and use them in the same commercial ways, regardless of when you purchased AFP! (We generally save the AFP download updates for several fonts in a row due to our frequent releases of new ones)
Newest fonts we have made that were released since AFP but are still licensed by it: Moustache You; Half Myself; Manic Germanic; Swansong; Blaze of Glory; Spirit Fox; Spiced Rum Supernova; Tiny and Chunky; Punk Metal; The Visitor; Devious Road; Robinson Pleasure; Cynosure; Liquid Crystal Decay; Overthrow Oligarchy; Guardian Angle; Nuchileda; CI GameDev 16px; Tempter; Bees Chubees; Infinitely Grateful; Riot City Revolts!.
Ah thank you so much, it's funny to see what you made with it. This font is one of our earlier ones, I didn't realise it was missing the ' character to be honest! I will add that to our list of things to update, thanks for letting me know.
This is a fantastic pack! I love the variety! Just to be extra sure about this: I do book cover commissions, would using these fonts on a book cover intended for someone else be permissible?
I wasn't concerned with books covers I make for myself, but since book covers for others ultimately make the person I make the cover for money for a longer period than me, I wanted to double-check that.
(Also, it would be nice to have some cursive/script fonts, just as a suggestion!)
Hi there, thank you for the kind words! Yes you can use them for commissions - as long as the graphics you make for the client are hard-baked when you hand them over (as in, they wont have access to the ttf or otf file of the font.)
Thank you for the suggestion of extra content too - we'll take that on board since we're always adding new fonts to the pack :)
So, I just found out about this, and I'm not sure I can swing it before the deadline. Can you say if it'll be made available at this deep of a discount again in the future? 😭
the section in the terms of use that states ... "You are hereby granted a non-exclusive, non-assignable, non-transferable license to access the Product (i) only in up to 5 (Five) Licensed Units, (ii) for Personal, Non-Commercial Use and Commercial Use"
I'm not sure if im reading this properly does this mean you can only use it in up to 5 Projects per purchase? or is this referring to you can only download and access it on up to 5 Devices per purchase?
Hello, I have a question about the licence. "The Product is protected from extraction by the end user so that they may not access the Product on its own outside of your application. ", I make Renpy games, so I can technically protect the font (as in someone downloading the game can't have access to it), but let's be honest Renpy games are super easy to pirate. I feel like every game is possible to pirate in their own way, but I would like to double check if it's okay before I make the purchase.
As long as you're not openly sharing the font file itself you're all good. We recognise that bundling a font within a game or a website etc. means it's technically possible for someone to download it still. That part of the terms is more like "do your best to prevent them using it as their own font".
Dang that is so many fonts. Thank you for your work!
I do Mork Borg style ttrpgs and my font rotation has been getting a bit static. 1200 fonts for 19 is a rate I can afford as an indie designer and adds a lot more visual variety.
What an incredible deal! Before I snap it up, though, could I ask a clarifying question? Apologies if it's a dumb question, just want to triple check!
Could I use these fonts as part of a tabletop roleplaying game book (including both in PDF and print form)? Not 100% sure if that is covered under the "digital document"/"visual media" criteria of the commerical license.
Yes absolutely! Tbh you can do most things with them as long as you're not A) redistributing the font on its own to other people, B) using them to train AI.
Amazing, thanks for getting back to me so quick. And no, you can be sure I won't be doing either of those things! Thanks again, now I'm off to grab these fonts and spread the word! haha
I use RPGmaker to make commercial games, but RPGmaker can't hide the font files, should someone decide to look through the steam folders. Does that go against the terms?
Hello, there are a lot of very good fonts in this pack for sure, I will definitely use them in personal projects when I could :)
I would like to clarify some things regarding the license and latin accents, if I am wrong or have missed something, I apologize
Does the license allow to modify the font in some way to add (at least try) latin accents for fonts that don't have them
If it is possible and I understand it correctly, the ttf/odf file must not be modified:
- If the ttf/odf font is used in a program or a video game for example (in a hidden form), can providing accents via a background layer in the application while keeping the original font unchanged work?
- If the ttf/odf font is not used directly but in another form (font converted to bitmap, svg, etc), can the changes be included directly in the file?
- Also if one day I want to credit you (in the distant future, I manage to finish a project who knows), if I have made changes how should I proceed?
You can add latin accents to any of the fonts that don't have them yes - to be honest you can edit the .ttf or .otf file yourself if you want as long as you don't redistribute it afterwards.
You can definitely edit any version converted to bitmap too, since you might want to make logos with different styles and stuff, so editing the outline of the font in sprites and graphics is totally fine.
You don't need to credit us, but if you want to you can just write "Font by Chequered Ink" or something!
Finally, your English is fantastic no need to apologise!
Thank you for your response, I am trying to improve with softwares help, it takes time :)
So to be sure that I have understood correctly :
- The modified ttf/odf file cannot be redistributed, so it cannot be used in a game if the game engine store it as is (the file will be there even if hidden/compressed in a package and could be potentialy extracted) or I am wrong and this is not considered as a redistribution of the file in this case
- Using a bitmap version (or SDF maybe?) of the modified font in a game is okay however
- In regard to redistribution I think the situation is the same on a website, the modified font can't be embedded (WOFF/WOFF2 format, easyly downloadable)
The intention of the part about not redistributing is to say you shouldn't redistribute the font file to other people as just a font.
You can bundle the font in your game, or use it on your website, it doesn't matter to us if it's "technically" downloadable by a user who looks through your code as long as it's not there in plain sight to download as a font they can use.
So you can use it in games and as a webfont if you want.
Hi, I have a small question about section 3 c i in the license agreement. I am developing a commercial game and am hoping to embed one of the fonts so in-game text, like dialogue, can be displayed with it.
The issue is that the game engine I use does not provide any encryption support by default, and all game assets can be accessed fairly easily by using a program like 7zip. Most of the time for me this is a positive, because it allows my players to easily mod the game if they desire. Unfortunately, the same methods that allow modding could theoretically allow a user to extract the fonts from the game. If I want to include the fonts in my games, will I need to encrypt my files in some way, or is just having them be hidden from the user by default enough of a protection?
Just having them hidden from the user is enough to be honest! No method is going to be 100% extraction proof, but as long as you're making some effort to hide the font a bit it's fine.
Hey, I've generated a set of preview images for each font with Imagemagick, would it be useful if I provided it to you're team so you could update the download? (Include a preview images folder)
Is there any way to find out which of these fonts support lowercase letters? I downloaded the whole pack but most of the fonts I want to use have no way to type in lowercase.
At the moment the best way I can recommend is to go to our Fontspace profile, which features all of our fonts, and change the preview text to a lowercase string like "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz". Then as you browse through the pages you'll see which ones have lowercase letters https://www.fontspace.com/chequered-ink
this is INCREDIBLE i have so many FONTS i never have to worry about fonts or licensing AGAIN :D!! I got it when it was on a SUPER SALE, for $20, it was SO worth it.
As a disabled solo dev who has trouble finishing things (-sweeping all my WIPs under the rug-), this has saved me so much stress, effort, time, and MONEY.
Thank you so much! It's lovely to know your story and we hope you enjoy using the fonts :) do feel free to message us in future to show us how you use them!
I got this pack and its just awesome. Searching for fonts has always been tedious especially since you always have to keep licensing in mind. With this pack those worries are gone!
What an absolutely insane deal, thank you so much! I lost a bunch of fonts during a hard drive reformat that I can't seem to find now, so I've needed a good font pack for a while. This really helps!
Just purchased this and scanning over them, these are some pretty interesting fonts, and the price on the sale is just amazing, heck even at 190 that would be an affordable deal. I paid 20 bucks for a font from a user before so this was a no brainer.

Hello, I was wondering if your Kpop Demons Hunter Font was covered in the All Fonts pack?
We haven't added the font file to the pack yet, but we will at some point in future and we always say our new fonts are covered by the license of the All Fonts Pack.
Is there a way to download only 2025's additions?
Not all at once, however you can download them from our Fontspace profile one by one: Chequered Ink - Designer
We treat the fonts there as covered by the All Fonts Pack license if you have it, even if we haven't gotten around to adding them to the pack yet.
Hey, as a fellow font nerd I have to ask, what software do you use to create your fonts?
For some of the simpler ones and pixel fonts - Fontstruct, for everything else we use High Logic Font Creator :)
Thank you, I'll check them out. I am using Inkscape and Fontforge so far, but it's kinda hard to do stuff in FF, especially the kerning (kinda stuck on it lol). Is the kerning in Font Creator easier?

(Very handy when you've made 970 of them.)
Are the fonts of the cartoon font pack included here, too? Saw two I wanted to use in future projects that I didn't see in the examples here. :)
Yes! We have a couple of smaller packs - the Cartoon Pack and the EveryPixel font pack, but ALL of the fonts are included in the All Fonts Pack here.
Hello. Do these fonts only cover latin characters?
There are a very (very) small handful with other characters like Greek & Cyrillic character sets but most of them have only latin.

What format do the fonts(files) come in.
Some are .ttf some are .otf
Why does ‘Carnival Trash’ font have its ‘D’ character be exactly the same as the ‘O’ character?
There is a slight difference between the two - definitely more than "a pixels difference" (see image below) but we appreciate that this may be problematic in your designs. We'll take the feedback on board and update it in a future version.

There's a sale on right now, in case you're still interested :)

Great job ! I heard about this from Kenney, thank you for the discount
That's great! We're glad to be working with Kenney on bringing this to more people :)
I have some questions:
How do you verify someone has bought the license? Do you ask them like in an audit?
Can I buy this pack, but then download them from your DaFont profile and use in commercial use (if present in this pack)?
For future fonts, does the license apply to them too?
1. If we needed to check if someone has a license, in the first instance we would just ask nicely to see some proof or something. Often we don't really need to, though.

Do these fonts support umlauts (ä, ö, ü) and ß? Those are very common characters in the german language.
Some of our fonts do, some don't. If you go to our dafont profile with accents turned on & preview set to show the umlauts you can get a list of the fonts from the pack that support them: https://www.dafont.com/chequered-ink.d6231?text=%E4%F6%FC%DF&a=on
This link will show all the fonts that support those characters to varying degrees.
Great font pack, I appreciate the organization! I used the HandyWesternSerif font to recreate a gag gift sign:
The one point I noticed with this is that the font doesn’t have
'characters, so I had to modify the,Ah thank you so much, it's funny to see what you made with it. This font is one of our earlier ones, I didn't realise it was missing the ' character to be honest! I will add that to our list of things to update, thanks for letting me know.
This is a fantastic pack! I love the variety! Just to be extra sure about this: I do book cover commissions, would using these fonts on a book cover intended for someone else be permissible?
I wasn't concerned with books covers I make for myself, but since book covers for others ultimately make the person I make the cover for money for a longer period than me, I wanted to double-check that.
(Also, it would be nice to have some cursive/script fonts, just as a suggestion!)
Hi there, thank you for the kind words! Yes you can use them for commissions - as long as the graphics you make for the client are hard-baked when you hand them over (as in, they wont have access to the ttf or otf file of the font.)
Thank you for the suggestion of extra content too - we'll take that on board since we're always adding new fonts to the pack :)
I missed the deal :(
We're always looking to make our stuff accessible to more people, follow us on Blue Sky for any updates of deals we might have in future.
oh man I just found out about this and missed out in the time it took to remember my password, I guess I'll have to look out for next time
follow us on BlueSky (or Facebook, or Patreon or wherever you follow people) as we will post about any future deals there :)
So, I just found out about this, and I'm not sure I can swing it before the deadline. Can you say if it'll be made available at this deep of a discount again in the future? 😭
We are always looking for ways to make our stuff accessible to as many people as possible - and we have run this discount before.
My advice would be to follow us on BlueSky (or Facebook, or Patreon or wherever you follow people) as we will post about any future deals there :)
the section in the terms of use that states ...
"You are hereby granted a non-exclusive, non-assignable, non-transferable license to access the Product (i) only in up to 5 (Five) Licensed Units, (ii) for Personal, Non-Commercial Use and Commercial Use"
I'm not sure if im reading this properly does this mean you can only use it in up to 5 Projects per purchase? or is this referring to you can only download and access it on up to 5 Devices per purchase?
The second one - it means you can download and install the font pack itself on up to 5 PCs / Macs / Whatever at the same time.
You can use the font in as many end creations as you want (so make an unlimited number of games, etc. with them)
Found through word of mouth, impressed by font selection, but purchased based on your amazing comments and replies to questions here.
Having purchased, I now am SO excited and grateful that you sorted all the fonts into genre and style folders!!!! This made me so happy. Thank you.
Thank you! We're always happy to answer any questions people have. It's nice to have people talking about things we've made :D
We hope you enjoy the fonts and put them to good use :)
Hello, I have a question about the licence. "The Product is protected from extraction by the end user so that they may not access the Product on its own outside of your application. ", I make Renpy games, so I can technically protect the font (as in someone downloading the game can't have access to it), but let's be honest Renpy games are super easy to pirate. I feel like every game is possible to pirate in their own way, but I would like to double check if it's okay before I make the purchase.
Anyway, amazing work
As long as you're not openly sharing the font file itself you're all good. We recognise that bundling a font within a game or a website etc. means it's technically possible for someone to download it still. That part of the terms is more like "do your best to prevent them using it as their own font".
Thanks for answering me and for being practical about it <3
Dang that is so many fonts. Thank you for your work!
I do Mork Borg style ttrpgs and my font rotation has been getting a bit static. 1200 fonts for 19 is a rate I can afford as an indie designer and adds a lot more visual variety.
Thanks, we'd love to see what you make with them :)
I'll let you know! Should be a couple weeks before my next one-of-every-font type project is ready, but I've got a couple in the pipeline.
What an incredible deal! Before I snap it up, though, could I ask a clarifying question? Apologies if it's a dumb question, just want to triple check!
Could I use these fonts as part of a tabletop roleplaying game book (including both in PDF and print form)? Not 100% sure if that is covered under the "digital document"/"visual media" criteria of the commerical license.
Thanks!
Yes absolutely! Tbh you can do most things with them as long as you're not A) redistributing the font on its own to other people, B) using them to train AI.
The uses you described are perfectly fine!
Amazing, thanks for getting back to me so quick. And no, you can be sure I won't be doing either of those things! Thanks again, now I'm off to grab these fonts and spread the word! haha
I use RPGmaker to make commercial games, but RPGmaker can't hide the font files, should someone decide to look through the steam folders. Does that go against the terms?
No it's OK, you can use them in RPG Maker games!
Hello, there are a lot of very good fonts in this pack for sure, I will definitely use them in personal projects when I could :)
I would like to clarify some things regarding the license and latin accents, if I am wrong or have missed something, I apologize
Does the license allow to modify the font in some way to add (at least try) latin accents for fonts that don't have them
If it is possible and I understand it correctly, the ttf/odf file must not be modified:
- If the ttf/odf font is used in a program or a video game for example (in a hidden form), can providing accents via a background layer in the application while keeping the original font unchanged work?
- If the ttf/odf font is not used directly but in another form (font converted to bitmap, svg, etc), can the changes be included directly in the file?
- Also if one day I want to credit you (in the distant future, I manage to finish a project who knows), if I have made changes how should I proceed?
Thank you!
Sorry for my bad English
Thank you for buying the font pack!
You can add latin accents to any of the fonts that don't have them yes - to be honest you can edit the .ttf or .otf file yourself if you want as long as you don't redistribute it afterwards.
You can definitely edit any version converted to bitmap too, since you might want to make logos with different styles and stuff, so editing the outline of the font in sprites and graphics is totally fine.
You don't need to credit us, but if you want to you can just write "Font by Chequered Ink" or something!
Finally, your English is fantastic no need to apologise!
All the best,
Daniel
Thank you for your response, I am trying to improve with softwares help, it takes time :)
So to be sure that I have understood correctly :
- The modified ttf/odf file cannot be redistributed, so it cannot be used in a game if the game engine store it as is (the file will be there even if hidden/compressed in a package and could be potentialy extracted) or I am wrong and this is not considered as a redistribution of the file in this case
- Using a bitmap version (or SDF maybe?) of the modified font in a game is okay however
- In regard to redistribution I think the situation is the same on a website, the modified font can't be embedded (WOFF/WOFF2 format, easyly downloadable)
Am I right in each of these cases?
The intention of the part about not redistributing is to say you shouldn't redistribute the font file to other people as just a font.
You can bundle the font in your game, or use it on your website, it doesn't matter to us if it's "technically" downloadable by a user who looks through your code as long as it's not there in plain sight to download as a font they can use.
So you can use it in games and as a webfont if you want.
Okay I understand now, thanks to your precisions
Thank you very much for the time you took to answer my questions and for your awesome font pack of course :)
Hi, I have a small question about section 3 c i in the license agreement. I am developing a commercial game and am hoping to embed one of the fonts so in-game text, like dialogue, can be displayed with it.
The issue is that the game engine I use does not provide any encryption support by default, and all game assets can be accessed fairly easily by using a program like 7zip. Most of the time for me this is a positive, because it allows my players to easily mod the game if they desire. Unfortunately, the same methods that allow modding could theoretically allow a user to extract the fonts from the game. If I want to include the fonts in my games, will I need to encrypt my files in some way, or is just having them be hidden from the user by default enough of a protection?
Just having them hidden from the user is enough to be honest! No method is going to be 100% extraction proof, but as long as you're making some effort to hide the font a bit it's fine.
Hey, I've generated a set of preview images for each font with Imagemagick, would it be useful if I provided it to you're team so you could update the download? (Include a preview images folder)
Hey that sounds great! If you can email us at support@chequered.ink with the details we'd really appreciated it :) thank you so much.
I've sent the images I generated and a follow up email with the batch file that I used with Image Magick.
(Image Magick has to be installed and added to your local paths for it to work)
Is there any way to find out which of these fonts support lowercase letters? I downloaded the whole pack but most of the fonts I want to use have no way to type in lowercase.
At the moment the best way I can recommend is to go to our Fontspace profile, which features all of our fonts, and change the preview text to a lowercase string like "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz". Then as you browse through the pages you'll see which ones have lowercase letters https://www.fontspace.com/chequered-ink
this is INCREDIBLE i have so many FONTS i never have to worry about fonts or licensing AGAIN :D!! I got it when it was on a SUPER SALE, for $20, it was SO worth it.
As a disabled solo dev who has trouble finishing things (-sweeping all my WIPs under the rug-), this has saved me so much stress, effort, time, and MONEY.
Thank you so much! It's lovely to know your story and we hope you enjoy using the fonts :) do feel free to message us in future to show us how you use them!
I got this pack and its just awesome. Searching for fonts has always been tedious especially since you always have to keep licensing in mind. With this pack those worries are gone!
Amazing font collection! Thanks for making this. Now I don't have to worry about looking for good fonts haha.
I can't wait to play with these! Thank you so much!! :D
What an absolutely insane deal, thank you so much! I lost a bunch of fonts during a hard drive reformat that I can't seem to find now, so I've needed a good font pack for a while. This really helps!
Just purchased this and scanning over them, these are some pretty interesting fonts, and the price on the sale is just amazing, heck even at 190 that would be an affordable deal. I paid 20 bucks for a font from a user before so this was a no brainer.
