Why'd you call this alligator"3" where's "2"?? I mean "I" posted an alligator2
that I edited/created from the original alligator a while ago but it SEEMS to
me it's the same as THIS one...<hmm..>

Why are your bright and contrast fonts screwy?? mine look like this...

bright
.######..######...####...######............##.....####...######.
...##....##......##........##.............###........##.....##..
...##....####.....####.....##..............##.....####.....###..
...##....##..........##....##..............##....##..........##.
...##....######...####.....##............######..######..#####..
................................................................

contrast
.%%%%%%..%%%%%%...%%%%...%%%%%%............%%.....%%%%...%%%%%%.
...%%....%%......%%........%%.............%%%........%%.....%%..
...%%....%%%%.....%%%%.....%%..............%%.....%%%%.....%%%..
...%%....%%..........%%....%%..............%%....%%..........%%.
...%%....%%%%%%...%%%%.....%%............%%%%%%..%%%%%%..%%%%%..
................................................................

notice without the "@"'s.. :^)

oh and this is a sample of a font I made after I saw some test fonts you
guys did for PowerPC News... for lack of a better name I call this relief2..

relief2

I also was sick of the thin waify look of banner so I made a puffed up version
I didn't see this in your sample so here's a sample..I call this banner2 (you
can tell I love naming things can't you?)  :P

banner2
######## ########  ######  ########       ##    #######   #######  
   ##    ##       ##    ##    ##        ####   ##     ## ##     ## 
   ##    ##       ##          ##          ##          ##        ## 
   ##    ######    ######     ##          ##    #######   #######  
   ##    ##             ##    ##          ##   ##               ## 
   ##    ##       ##    ##    ##          ##   ##        ##     ## 
   ##    ########  ######     ##        ###### #########  #######  


I also have three others i made off of this base font...

banner3-old
:########:########::######::########:::::::##::::#######:::#######:
::::##::::##:::::::##::::##::::##::::::::####:::##:::::##:##:::::##
::::##::::##:::::::##::::::::::##::::::::::##::::::::::##::::::::##
::::##::::######::::######:::::##::::::::::##::::#######:::#######:
::::##::::##:::::::::::::##::::##::::::::::##:::##:::::::::::::::##
::::##::::##:::::::##::::##::::##::::::::::##:::##::::::::##:::::##
::::##::::########::######:::::##::::::::######:#########::#######:

But I didn't think there was enough contrast there so...

banner3
.########.########..######..########.......##....#######...#######.
....##....##.......##....##....##........####...##.....##.##.....##
....##....##.......##..........##..........##..........##........##
....##....######....######.....##..........##....#######...#######.
....##....##.............##....##..........##...##...............##
....##....##.......##....##....##..........##...##........##.....##
....##....########..######.....##........######.#########..#######.

sort of a banner type bright font...<hmm...>
then I LOVE the 3-D effect so NATURALLY my banner3-D was next <grin>..

banner3-D
 ########: ########:: ######:: ########::::::: ##:::: #######::: #######::
