From lead to silver ... alchemy at its best :)

Nice adventure to the peroidic table. Your technique is supreme. Shall we see chrome, titanium, or mercury? 10/10

Yeah, but can you do a gas? Hydrogen? Argon?

@pnut: *haha* Didn't think about that. Just pulled-up the dynamic periodic table and looked for metals that were silver-gray in color and had abbreviation in letters not in the name.

@mr.frodo: Thanks. It's nothing. Set Filter X&Y to 0.9 and fill most of the screen height with blocks of bricks of varying sizes and save. In another tab, open your My FontStruct[ions] and in the preview window of this font zoom to a point where the letters appear crisp. This is your target height. Then in the edit tab add (or delete bricks from the height of your letters so that when you save, the letters appear crisp without adjusting the zoom. I've found that two bricks in height of the letters equals one zoom step. OK. This sounds very complicated. I'll enable Clone and you can experiment yourself.

@afrojet: Vapor is hard to envision. I could do bubbles. Would that do? I wanted to do Mercury (Hg) but got stuck at doing blobs.

@fk: Thanks. Unlike yours, my creativity is sporadic and limited. I maybe able to pull off an Aluminum (Al), Titanium (Ti) and Platinum (Pl), and on an off-chance, a Tungsten (W), but they all have too many letters in their name. Nickle (Ni) is a possibility. I'd love to do Copper (Cu) but it's golden, not silver. But the possibilities exist and exploring them is fun. And fun is all this is about, because these fonts are pure eye-candy and serve no useful purpose. Heck, they won't even download.
