I had this idea today: Make a font that writes numbers out with letters. Here it is, and it goes up to 999,999,999. Just remember to put commas to divide the thousands and millions, and end with a period :) I might make a German version.

Ingenious.
Plus the number glyphs are awesome too.
And the tiny text is a whole font unto its own.
Ingenious.

I can't download it... when I do, it gives me the standard compressed folder w/ font and two text files, but the font is blank and I can't use it. I have installed Fontstruct fonts in the past and they worked.

I think I would've had the skills to do that, but I would've never had the idea. This is very awesome, and the creativity to think of spelling out numbers just by writing digits is genius. I've looked at the mechanics of the font, and they're just beautiful. I especially liked the way the eleven, twelve... work.

Thank you all for the nice words!

@mix12: I have added some dummy characters for a-z, and it seems to work now.

@meek: Thank you very much!

@everyone else: Thank you for the nice words.

Noticed a minor issue. The font tends to break when it wraps around. Other than that nice font. :)

It’s totally terrific! :o 1000/10

Comment by arseniiv 21st february 2015

Really cool! But I find an error.

When you type 1,000,000 it says One million thousand.

It's very hard do this kind of fonts, so great job!

Just 10/10

Comment by herovblin 2nd march 2016

Have you considered making it compatible with decimals, maybe using a different ending character like `? I think you could really get more out of this idea, but as it is, it's already amazing.

@anonymous-1000937 When you type "1,000,000", it can be interpreted as "one million thousand", but I think it's supposed to read "one million zero hundred zeroty zero thousand zero hundred zeroty zero", which makes more sense.
