If you are submitting a font to the Realm667 Font Press, please read these rules, and follow the submission template. It makes the job of adding them so much easier, and if a submission doesn't follow the rules, it won't be added until it does, or it could be flat-out rejected.

General Submission Rules
can be found on the left side of the page in the info box called "SUBMISSION RULES". Make sure to check the mouseover-tooltips for details. Categorie-specific submission rules can be found below.

Category-Specific Rules
  • Font must be ready to use in ZDoom/GZDoom/Zandronum, do not share TTF/OTF files
    More info here: http://zdoom.org/wiki/Font_format
  • Make sure it is a pk3 file placed inside a zip. Sort your content into apropriate folders so it is easier for modders to implement your weapon into their mod.
  • You are allowed to submit font packs incl. one replacement for one fonttype, or multiple fonts in one pack (BIGFONT, SMALLFONT, CONFONT)
  • Include information, from the template below, in both the submission post, and in the wad itself, in an INFO lump.
  • Include credits. Like information, include credit information (from the template) in both the submission post and in the wad itself, in a CREDITS lump.
  • Follow the template, below, in your submission post.
  • Tag it as a submission. Use the right topic icons with an apropriate prefix, like the blue S icon with [SUBMISSION] in your title.
  • If you are updating something already on the repo, tag it as an update. Use the right topic icon here as well with the purple U and a [UPDATE] prefix

People prefer to know exactly what they're downloading, before they download it.

Preview:
A preview of the characters is necessary, include <FONT NAME> and lower cases in the preview, make sure it's always the same string of characters as following:
Code:
<FONT NAME> 0123456789_ ABCDEFGHIJKLM NOPQRSTUVWXYZ abcdefghijklm nopqrstuvwxyz
Download Link:
Either upload to a site like DropBox or Google Drive, or just attach it to your post. Please choose one that shouldn't expire, because it might expire before we can add it.
