Venus Public Transit, Map Of Ceres, Jack Vance's Ports Of Call & Lurulu ... why do I only have 3 maps here?
Caeldera is certainly one of my favorites! I used to run FlatEarth.com before it degenerated and I sold it (you should see who owns the domain now!Originally Posted by pyrandon
), and Nate Piekos at blambot made that font to honor the collaborative world-building project we had there. The world project name was Caeldera, of course.
I noticed Joshua_101 also has Flat Earth Scribe, another Piekos creation for FlatEarth.com. Nate is a really great resource for fonts, and blambot is my favorite font site.
I ran the FlatEarth.com site for over 10 years, and in it's golden age it was a great place. Sadly, in later years it was overrun with munchkins (and I was overwhelmed with Real Life) and I decided to give it up. It had a good run, though.

Welcome to the guild FlatEarth! In your honour (well not really!) I think we should make this font thread a sticky - it's too useful to let flow down the threads. Caledra is one of my favourite fonts, although I haven't had the right context to use it properly but it's one I always consider. Please make more!

While they might not necessarily be "favorite" fantasy fonts, I have created 2 fonts several years ago for my game and some projects. I've never distributed but I'd be willing to share them if anyone is interested.
Anyway, my favorite fonts depend on the purpose of the map.
For maps that are just for show, I like using handwritten like fonts. For sci-fi based maps on starcharts and stuff, I use what looks like a LCD font.
Functional in-game maps are usually done with 10 or 12 pt Verdana.
I am just glad you have this site! Map making and fonts are things I am truly interested in, so finding such a well run site dealing with map making is a real treat for me.
Well done!

Some very nice symbol / Dingbat fonts there too. Great find, Ian.
Dang, that site has a lot of fonts! I didn't even get through the A's and saw half a dozen great ones I have never seen before. Great Find!
Map Symbs - Military Map symbols as fonts
The link to the page is here.
Contains all sorts of military (mostly modern) map symbols as fonts. Also some nice silhouettes of tanks, planes and WW2 soldiers. (No fantasy stuff though).
