QUESTION QUESTION!

As you can see I' m not quuiiite satisfied with the font myself… thus trying out another one which isn' t much better in my opinion if not even worse… But the moment I find the correct combination of lettering and bubbling I' ll edit back all of the pages, promise. (By the way, until that happens, I will probably stick with the previous font; all the other fonts are even worse…)
Now, the question before I go raid Blambot: is there a font anyone would recommend? Or, should I use computer made fonts at all? Just like FAL recommended, the bubbles could/should be done by hand, and then they really would fit the page better… my problem is how to edit bubbles like that and that they would get in the way of drawing. (Past experiences, does anyone remember Malcontents written by Evil Emperor Nick? ;) ) And that led me to the conclusion that maybe I should use my own handwriting…
Well, not if there' s a fitting font.
The other question is: How do you get a hand-made balloon' s size right for the typed text? A definite yes if this problem is killed without the painful experience for months through which pages would have badly sized balloons… Though this would also probably mean that you will have to wait until I get the courage to touch the finished pages with an eraser.
Last question: what do you do to be able to use a font after you downloaded it?

dragonrider: Holding vigil is effective. It scared away even the new computer. XD

wildcard: Thanks, every now and then there will be a watercoloured page too! ;)

Stig Hemmer: Well, Ren has a bit of his left ear sliced down for your satisfaction. ;P

Jallice: They' re kobolds. ^_^ Their ears and tail are supposed to be scaled, I have yet to find a nice technique for that…

chocolate_addict: Computer exchange hasn' t even began… though my brother who is going to get this computer has already started to install his programs. The little problem is, he installed them on my own harddrive…

DarkChibiShadow: And I can' t wait to draw even more! September starts next week though… *silent scream*

Katch: Mmmmm, Berserk, yummm, and hehe, I couldn' t deny the influence even if I wanted to. ^_^

JeanSeishin: This page not so much, but I hope to get back on track with the next page. ^^;

Mummymetaller: I hope to make some similar pages soon!

TheMidge28: What exactly is spacing on the text? Sorry, English is my third language at best, so I wasn' t sure if you meant the font style' s spacing or the placing of the bubbles, or the placing of the text inside the bubbles? ^_^() And thanks for helping!

harryq: You' re one to talk! ;P I hope it will develop with a correct texting technique.

Luminous: Ollie and Ren' s designs are at least 3 years old. ^_^
