Is there any chance we can get a good-sized rendering of the new "Snow Mana" symbol? I can insert it into the Magic Symbols font if I get a good one, but my tracing skills are somewhere around non-existant.
Anyone else with much madder skillzzzorz want to try their hand at it and share the .psd (or whatever you trace in) with me? Thanks in advance!
Actually, that's just fine! Excellent, in fact. Here's the updated font:
And now I am curious: Does anyone have any idea if there's a font out there for the hybrid mana symbols? Or are the .psd-ers just stuck copying little clusters of pixels for now?
<EDIT> — Oh, I should mention that since the inside of the snowflake is an opaque white on the pics I've seen, I made the lower case "s" the inside and the upper case "S" the outside. To get the nice little symbol, you enter osS with the "o" grey, the "s" white, and the "S" black. Enjoy!
<EDIT 2> — Removed the attached font. Check my later post for a newer version that has all the hybrid mana symbols, too.
I could... but it would be pretty weird. There aren't any logical glyphs left in the font for the little combos. There would have to be 10 of them (well, 11 if I make the half-circle for the split symbol). I suppose I could delete some of the other glyphs that don't show up in Magic... I'm just hesitant to do so. I'll give 'er a whack and share the results when she's finished.
So I went ahead and put all the hybrid mana symbols in, even though it requred the use of some pretty "out-there" letter choices. Here's the font at 300pt. Note that everything you see is generated with the font; there has been no touchup performed. I'm actually rather pleased with it.
And then for those of you who deem the font worthy of an "I Want That!" verdict, I've attached it along with a .txt document showing all the letter choices (such as o@D = :symgb:) for your convenience. I've also posted that list here, pretty much because it's prettier.
@ = half-circle
= D
= E
= F
= H
= J
= K
= M
= V
= d
= e

This might be considered a NOOB question, But what is this for and use?

I miss you mom!
Our hearts still ache in sadness
And secret tears still flow
What it meant to lose you
No on will ever know
But we know you want us
To mourn for you no more
To remember all the happy times
Life still has much in store
Since you’ll never be forgotten
We pledge to you today
A hallowed place within our hearts
Is where you’ll always stay
You can use the font in the creation of custom Magic cards in Photoshop or some similar graphics editing program. It creates immaculate mana symbols at any size: because they are each rendered from a vector, they don't get pixilated if you make them bigger.
The font isn't 100% mine; I used a font called MagicSymbols2004 which was developed by Nathan Buchanan (he added the paintbrush).
The font is actually originally from Wizards of the Coast for their internal use back in 1994. Since then, however, it's been shared willy-nilly to just about every Magic card making enthusiast and, as you can see, modified to keep up with the times.
I don't see any reason why you couldn't share it on your site. Go for it.
Very nice font FPM. I was hoping someone was going to do the hybrid mana for the magicsymbols font, since I had a few people nagging me to do it ^_^;.
I seem to have encountered a problem though. I looked at the 300dpi renders you provided, and unlike mine, the half circle is perfectly aligned inside the full one. For some reason, the half circle is slightly off 'centered' when I type the hybrid symbols out. I tried changing the text alignment to see if that was the problem, but to no avail, mine aren't coming out centered.
This is what mine looks like ("Errors" boxed in red):
*edit* er, nevermind, next time I should really check to see if I have font tracking on or not :P*
Also, if you need it, I can host/mirror your magicsymbol 2006 font on my site.
And while I'm here, does it appear to anyone else that the ": D" emote has been replaced with a little slideshow about people getting owned? (For reference: :D)
I was expecting this. I've replaced our tantelizingly close glyph with the one from Wizards already last night, but it was being poopy and moving ever so slightly when I saved (I have no idea why), so I said "screw you" and went to bed. I'll post the updated font later, after I get another chance to make it sing and dance like I want it to.
As for the snow hybrids, I don't think I'm going to add those to the font. They haven't been sanctioned by Wizards yet, so I don't want to go through the trouble. What you can do is make a hybrid circle with one half the gray that normally appears on black and colorless mana and then manually paste the snow symbol on it, sort of like people have been doing with the rest of the hybrid stuff before this font.
How about these for CS symbols? sure they're not as big as FPMs, but who needs them that big anyway? Also i used the gradient that's used on the cards.

Its not necessarily good: (attached as a PSD for quality)
