A font for creating flags. I'm pretty sure this hasn't been done before.

Directions: Type the vertical line (|) for a flagpole. Then type 0 for the background. Then add details using the upper and lowercase letters. You will need a word processor that supports text coloring if you want to color your flags.

How does it not work? Explain your problem, maybe I can help.

Sorry guys for being gone recently, I had finals at my school so I didn't really have time for much else with all my studying, but I want to start making fonts again.

Anyway, I have a good idea for a project relating to this font. We should show the world how diverse FontStruct is! My idea is this: Everyone on here should post their nationality/country of origin and I can make an image of all the flags. I'm from USA, so I'll start: 

I have designed a flag for FontStruct with this :)

The black and gold represent the colors of FontShop (our sponsor)

The pink with the white star represents the Top Pick, a high honor on FontStruct ;)

Thanks Aeolien :)

I'll try it. Meek suggested it but I wanted to see what other people thought. I'll experiment around a bit and see what I can do.
