May 25, 2012
Requests are
open. My number one concern secondary to requests is altador cup fonts. Keep in mind when you are requesting an AC font, and if I ask you, if or if not you will allow me to use your font as a premade. I want at least three fonts per team by the time the altador cup starts. Luckily, this is a three day weekend approaching so I will have plenty o' time to achieve that.
May 16, 2012
AP testing is over; let the celebrations commence. Closed requests are closed. Because people were requesting Altador Cup fonts when I forgot to announce that Altador Cup fonts will be out soon - this weekend, in fact, and continue to grow in number. I still have the fonts from last year - some I will throw away, some I will keep. I have already made some new fonts, and once at least one font for every team is up, I will open requests if that font does not satisfy you and you want a custom one for your team, or better yet, request one for me to put out for everyone. That's what's up right now.
May 06, 2012
Open requests were very sporadic over the weekend but I can guarantee now: they will be open throughout the entire week! I am very busy like most people and will have to, reluctantly, put this site at the bottom of my list. Nevertheless, I have craved making fonts lately and appreciate all requests. I also hope, next weekend, to finish some premades. Anyways, send in your requests.
April 28, 2012
Everything stated in the last update still applies with one new occurrence: requests are
open! This weekend I've a tournament so the requests will be open for a very limited time. I gained one new affiliate: Cookie's fonts. The site might also be looking for a new layout soon, too, although I am still in love with this one. Other than that, not much happened.
April 15, 2012
ACT, AP tests, passing classes, April birthdays, hockey tournaments, keeping my sanity. Can you tell I am getting a bit busier? Anyways requests are
open but do know that I probably will not get to them right away. I want to make a lot of changes and add new things to this site but it may not occur for a few weeks. For now I am going to only focus on
requests and not much on premades, if that is okay. Has anyone noticed the site community has changed so much? After Soroptimist closed, directories started popping up everywhere - a lot of them are really inventive. Back to the point: I am busy. New stuff will happen. Later.
April 06, 2012
Finished
all of the requests. There were upwards of ten that accumulated over the week. Still considering
ideas for the next project. I also just added the
Shooting stars, Avada Kedavra, Raichu and Starbucks fonts. Other than that not much is going on.
March 25, 2012
Very productive day. I got at least 8 requests done, and now no one is waiting. Finished the
project.
Finally, after half a year. Added some
fades, the newest feature of this site. And yesterday, in celebration of the new smilies, made a new
picture font, because someone had to make that font. So now that my project is complete, I must think of a
new one. But since I am currently out of ideas, would you like to
share one? I am thinking of either doing another song like I just did, making animal picture fonts, or making a ton of fonts with one theme - maybe a movie? - Meaning a bunch of quotes from
Harry Potter or
The Hunger Games or
Twilight (/shot). Or I could do a mixture. Please let me know what you think. I need help.
March 24, 2012
Sorry about the hole in updates - I was yet again
silenced. I honestly have no clue what I can and can't say on this site anymore. In better news, requests are
open so go ahead and request your favorite hunger games quote since I am aware the movie just came out. No I've not seen it yet. I plan on adding fades to this site - to go into the
extras. I hope along with studying I will get something on my to-do list for this site done. Maybe some new fonts later? I'm not yet sure.
March 16, 2012
I've been pretty busy lately and I plan on being pretty busy throughout the rest of my spring break so sadly I closed requests. To people who already requested: I have your requests, and I am definitely going to finish them soon - probably tomorrow. I only have a few days left of spring break and I want to cherish them before I have to go back to that jail of a school.
March 11, 2012
Today I filled some holes in my
project. I plan on finishing it this week - a few more fonts should wrap it up, then I will be offering a poll as to what the new project should be. Today Cass announced that she is leaving neo for good. It is a sad day for the entire neopets site community because in the words of someone whose name I have forgotten,
Soroptimist was like the
grandmother's house. Well I am sure we can make it through without, and this site is going to stay up for a long time so don't anyone worry.
March 9, 2012
Spring break is finally here! :D As I was chatting on the AC today,
Owlie offered to give me some ideas for fonts which obviously I could not turn down - I tend to run low on ideas - so you could say that a few more picture fonts may pop up this week. I am also attempting to
blaze through requests but it is more of a stroll which is good, too and not at a slow pace so I should get most of the current requests done with tomorrow. Today I added a picture font: the RIP font and two word fonts. One of the word fonts is a hunger games font. No, I have not read the books since I don't read but please do not call me a poser.
D;
March 6, 2012
Finally opened requests today. Please do realize if you are requesting that I will not get to them until Thursday, most likely but I was just so excited that I had to open them up
today. The only new thing around here is me updating the
Cubefish font.
March 3, 2012
Gained an absolutely fantastic new button from the wonderful button site,
Surcie. I cannot open requests because of
Finals. So much to study this weekend but after this four day week we have
spring break so I can guarantee you requests will be open Thursday night and will stay open throughout most of the week.
February 28, 2012
Inspire, a graphics site, has taken a spot as an affiliate. The site offers buttons made by Cynthia and requests are actually open right now. (Get yourself a button). On another note, until
TNT fixes the boards I am unable to both chat and make fonts (neoboard preferences page will not work) so let's hope they fix it
soon.
February 26, 2012
Three new
word fonts and two new
picture fonts. I did not come close to finishing my list but who really cares um and I am probably going to open requests sometime this week, if not then this weekend. This weekend felt like an hour and now we're back at school. /complain
February 25, 2012
Increased some numbers in the
polls, but did not increase any premade fonts. My weekend got busy - busier than I predicted so I doubt I will finish my to - do list but I should have a chunk of time tomorrow to get something done. Haven't started on my homework but that's another story.
D;
February 24, 2012
Tonight I added
two word fonts and
two fonts to the project. I moved the project from my main navigation into the extras, in case you were having trouble finding it. I think I have figured out what to do with my old fonts. If you already read my
to - do list you would have noticed I am going to edit and re - add my old fonts (
yay). I will be doing that and the other things on my to - do list throughout this weekend, and hopefully requests will be open next weekend.
February 23, 2012
Requests are closed and will remain
closed throughout this weekend. Instead of worrying about getting requests done I plan on focusing on what this site needs and adding / revising it over this weekend. Hopefully after this weekend I will be able to get back to requests as usual. Please do not send me any types of requests while they are closed. I will have to turn you down. If you have suggestions or hopes on what this site should offer by all means let me know but customs / recolorings / editings / remakings are all
closed. On a good note I finished all requests that were already made.
February 19, 2012
Requests are
still open now closed, and I have been pretty fast with finishing them. I should have a lot of time today and tomorrow to finish the ones that are requested already along with the ones requested today, so do
not be shy.
Relatively important: I also edited my
How to Edit Fonts section in my extras. I would very much appreciate
feedback on this, whether you plan to use it or not - on how good or bad it is. It is difficult for me to judge because it makes sense to me but it may not to the majority of new fonters, I don't know. On another note, I am thinking of adding more
picture fonts so
neomail me if you have any ideas.
February 15, 2012
Opened requests because I realized I have a four day weekend coming up and even if I will not be able to do requests now, I will have plenty o' time to do them over the weekend. Also still considering what to do with my other fonts.
February 12, 2012
Newest fonts: Paw prints, Tear my heart, Grenade, Sleepyhead, and Stevie Nicks.Alright so this site just went through a small revamp and is now back in what I think is a better form. As you can see, I got rid of many fonts. I still have the codes for them but I just do not like them the way I did before, but I've been told that people do like them so I am considering 2 options: Giving them away as customs or tweaking them a bit then bringing them back. I could do a mixture of the two, also. I got rid of some of the extras as well, and plan on working with that section a bit more to enhance the clarity of the "How To Edit" fonts, etc. The main reason this revamp was necessary was because the invisible spaces I used in my fonts - that my fonts practically relied on - no longer worked, so I had to go through each font and enter in new invisible spaces. As I went through
each font I couldn't help but try to change them to make them better than when I first made them which might have been years ago. I realized my taste in fonts drastically changed over the years yet I still had these fonts that I didn't like on my site. Therefore, I will only be putting fonts on this site that I would personally use
today. I really like this much better, I hope you do too.
I apologize for the length of this update, and I applaud you if you endured the time reading through this.
Rules
Do not take credit. By this I mean do not say or infer that you made one of my fonts.
Unfortunately I do notice people out there getting overly inspired by my fonts lately.
If you do not like your font, let me know. I will definitely re-do it. I understand my taste is all over the place and may not match yours. I certainly do not want you posting with a font you dislike.
If a font does not work in your browser, let me know. I probably know how to fix it.
If you find a font you like that requires a neoboard pen and you don't have one, neomail me when requests are open and I will make one that does not require a Neoboard pen.
If you want to leave credit on your lookup or wherever, you could use a button or this:
Font by mo's fonts.
Remember it is completely optional though.
[Sorry bro, they're not my rules (wait yes they are)].
requests
Want a custom font? Fill out the form below and neomail me by clicking on the letter if requests are open.
When requesting, it helps if you are really specific and make references to my
portfolio for what kind of font you want, especially since my taste is all over the place and may not match up with yours.
When referring to a font in the portfolio, it may help to include 2 of the 3:
a. The avatar that font is for.
b. The
number you see when you hover over it.
c. What the font says.
When you say "Number 32" I've no idea what you are talking about since the fonts are grouped into numbers.

Project
Here is my current project: lyric fonts.
Started 9/3/11, ended 3/25/12.
If you want to use this idea then go ahead.
I do really simple word fonts a lot and I think I need to improve a bit on using longer quotes so I am taking the song Somewhere Only We Know and make however many fonts I need to in order to use up all the lyrics: ( finished // not finished )
Font Vocabulary
Okay, so when people talk about fonts does your face go @-@ ?
Here, I will show you the basic terms every fontmaker should know.
This is how /I/ define the terms, every fontmaker is different but I hope this confuses you less.
Siggy Line
Let's just get this one out of the way, a siggy line is the line under you neohtml and above your siggy that goes -------------------- annoying as .. well you know it's pretty annoying. Of course it is pretty hard to explain on the neoboards, so I will explain it here:
How to get rid of the siggy line: Put an opening bracket ( [ ) at the end of your first box and a closing bracket ( ] ) at the beginning of your second box.
^ Drag + drop for a better understanding.
Fontface
This is the font style that you use for your actual words.
(Examples: arial, verdana, tahoma).
Actually while I am at it I might as well just make a list:
arial (neopet's default fontface)
calibri
consolas
constantia
corbel
courier
cursive
fantasy
garamond
gautami
georgia
gisha
impact
jokerman
meiryo
mistral
modern
monospace
papyrus (ew)
perpetua
pristina
rockwell
roman
system
tahoma
terminal
verdana
vivaldi
vrinda
( Gosh darn it, Mo. You missed one! )
Mind neomailing me?
NeoHTML
This is the text you type with.
(When you see your font preview it is the text that says 'This is how your post will look on the Neoboards.').
Siggy
This is all the stuff that is under your neoHTML.
(Siggy = short for signature).
Font
This is just the whole thing, all that shows up in the box in your post, if that makes sense.
Color code
This is a 6 digit number that has a # in front of it and when used depicts a specific color.
(Example: #000000s = black).
Sandwich font
People tend to hate these fonts.
Sandwich font pretty much means there is stuff above and below the neohtml (omg like a sandwich).
Sometimes they work out, most times.. no.
The only sandwich fonts I really make are ones with just symbols above the neohtml.
Otherwise stay away from them.
Font Types
Here I introduce you to the 7 different types of fonts and give tips on how to create them. O' course there are endless types of fonts, as these types can be mixed together and new things are being created at this second, but here are the main types.
1. SYMBOL PIC FONTS.
Symbol picture fonts are used with symbols and not with blocks.
To make these you need a good source for symbols.
The most amazing symbol source is
.
For these kinds of fonts you do not need specific fontfaces so you have some extra room.
2. BLOCK PIC FONTS.
Block picture fonts are most commonly made with blocks ( ▀ ▄ █ ).
To make rows of blocks not have spaces in between them you can use the fontface 'monospace'.
Sometimes huge block fonts are impressive but when posting with them they can get a bit obnoxious, at least in my opinion.
So I usually use size 1 monospace for mine.
3. SIMPLE WORD FONTS.
Simple word fonts, probably my favorite type, only consist of a few words then symbols to make the word more... ~*~*~ if you know what I mean.
What is commonly used for these is a double underline which is underlining the word ( {u} word {/u} ) and then underneath it using what is called a macron ( ¯ ) which can be found on Holly's symbol page.
With these I tend to find the need to use a heart but if your word has a certain meaning that fits with a specific symbol it is best to use that.
4. SYMBOL FONTS.
Symbol fonts are what I use for avatars that have many different colors that do not blend well.
You can use either neopets smilies (which I rarely do unless it fits the avatar colors /very/ well) or symbol patterns or just random symbols.
For symbol fonts color is the key to making it look nice but certain fontfaces do not have to be used so that gives extra room.
5. FADE FONTS.
Fade fonts are used for avatars with many shades of one color or colors that are close on the color wheel.
What helps me with finding the fade patterns is I take the avatar and blow it up on paint to make it all pixel-y and find where it fades.
^ drag + drop the picture to the address bar for a better understanding.
6. LYRIC FONTS.
Most people have a favorite band and such so that is their main inspiration.
I am not /that/ into music so I do not do much of this type of font
but it seems to be the favorite among the people.
For these depending on the length of the segment of the song you want to use, you should use a different size font.
For lengthier lyrics, a smaller font size, for shorter lyrics, bigger.
Usually,
it does not look good if your lines are different lengths.
But that is only my opinion.
I think it looks better
When all of these lines
Are the same-ish length.
7. NAME FONTS.
Rather useful, actually.
This is about the only type that actually serves a purpose.
Instead of going to your lookup to find your name I can just look at your font and know your name.
These fonts may be easier for me since it is pretty easy to fit my name into anything. X)
But these can be the cutest fonts, and you can deck 'em out with symbols.
FAQ
What is the name of cursive-y fontface that you use very often (in your requests)?
Mistral. And I use it often because it is my favorite fontface and most people actually request it be used in their custom font.
May I edit your fonts?
You may, in fact I encourage you to. Personalize it as much as you want and maybe one day you will make your own fonts, I encourage this
because I do not believe there are enough font makers out there x3. But until you make your own font from scratch, you still must credit me.
May I get your fonts rated?
You may, as long as you do not claim any awards given or take credit for the fonts, but yes you may get them rated.
Do I have to have a link back on my lookup or credit in my font?
Neither, a link back is appreciated but not necessary by any means. And credit in the font would look a bit strange X) unless you make it
invisible but that is not at all necessary nor expected from you. All I ask is for you to not say that you made it.
Could you make one of your neoboard pen fonts a w/o nb pen font?
Of course! Just neomail me when requests are open and I will try my best. (:
Could you make me a custom font?
I definitely could, if you fill out the form when requests are open.
May I request more than one font at once?Sure, just don't get crazy. Especially do not request more fonts than your neoboard pens allow you to have, in my opinion, shoot that's crazy.
What is a nb pen?
If you do not know what neoboard pens are, then you most likely do not have one. All I can explain about them is that you buy them with NeoCash,
they give you an extra 30 characters of room in each of your boxes in your preferences, and they allow you to store in your preferences
more than 1 font at a time depending on how many nb pens you applied.
If you want to learn more about neoboard pens and what they do,
ask.
Where do you get your inspiration from?
I am surprised I actually do get this question, I cannot pinpoint my inspiration but ideas for different fonts just end up popping in my
head at random points in the day, and I also get inspiration from you guys ~♥, when you send in requests for custom fonts especially,
sometimes I go through periods where I don't make picture fonts then someone requests a picture font then from there I make some more. Other
times I cannot think of quotes but someone sends in a request with a quote and that inspires a different quote. X) Request actually aren't
just for the person requesting but for me, they help a lot. (:
Must you put a heart in all your fonts?You know me. 0:-)
Polls
I ask a question and you give me an answer. I usually ask the AC first then put it up on this page for more votes. These polls will never end.
Rule: I know you may be passionate about your view but you can only vote once. X)

How to edit my fonts
Do you really like a font of mine but the colors don't go with your avatar? Here I will teach you how to edit the colors so they go with your avatar. It's pretty simple. If you want more help or if you want me to recolor one of my fonts, just
request a re-coloring.
1. Pick a font.
For this example, let's take the Clever Little Me font:
Go ahead and apply the two codes of whatever font you want in your preferences to get the original version:
You can see that this font has 3 colors in it (not including the color of the neohtml) so that means it has 3 color codes.
2. Pick an avatar and find its colors.
For this example, I am going to pick the
Zafara Double Agent avatar:
Usually I eyedrop its colors but if you do not know how then you can go to this page and find the colors for your avatar. (If the colors of your avatar are not on that page, (highly unlikely), neomail me and I will eyedrop the colors for you).
On AAFCC (this page) it says that the colors for the Zafara Double Agent avatar are
#C17150 (brown), #5E8ACE (light blue), #1549A5 (dark blue), and #548751 (green).
(Many props to AAFCC, they have colors for I believe every single avatar, which is 300 something).
3. Replace the color codes.
So you already applied your font, and you found your color codes. Now all you have to do is replace the old color codes with the new ones. I will explain it as best as I can but if you visually learn better, the screenie below will help.
The numbers circled in red are the color codes. Delete the numbers in that code and replace them with your new colors found on AAFCC, but leave the # that goes before the colors and the s that comes after. Do this for all the color codes, hit submit, and you should have a font that matches your avatar:
I really appreciate feedback so neomail me what you think about this guide - either what it's missing, or if it helped, or other suggestions.

This was a premade but it sufficed for a good while, I edited it heavily to match the gnorbu avatar baha.
