    So I installed the Xen font, but whenever i try to type anything out in it, it shows a bunch of box things, but no text.

    It does this on every program I try. Does anybody have any pointers?

    Xen font pack has like 30 different fonts. Which one specifically you having issues with?
    Also have you tried Photoshop?

    i installed and used the one called xen3, it shows up in programs as [-XEN-]. In photoshop it looks like regualr text, in other programs, like 3ds max, its a bunch of bars. The bars are horizontal with one at the top and bottom of the letter. So, two bars per letter.

    Im just tying to type 'en of Onslaught' in 3ds max like you see all over this website.

    I could totally be wrong but is there a way to set charset=utf-8 with unicode or what not?

    Only thing I can think on why that doesn't work.

    I figured it out, turns out I was using the wrong one the 50+ fonts that came in the font pack. You dont wanna use the one called Xen3, you wanna use alphabotxen.

    I use to make a bunch of animated signatures and what not. I def wouldn't mind getting some of the graphics, logo to play with. Where did you get them?

    Here is a sample of what I made for EVE online:
