[Tutorial] Typesetting for Beginners

[kenjimaru]

Since FH has been advertisint for beginners to manga editing to start from Typesetting i decided to post this here. I hear typesetting is the easiest.

So before FH writes any tutorials, i know they are busy, here are two links for people to look out to for help. You need to get an image editing software like photoshop first though (torrrents kekekekeke :D)


Here they are: Yay, i found them- read the tutorials or posts in the threads i think.

Idiots Guide to Editing Mangal (http://unblessed.net/guide/main.htm) || Typesetting Discussion (http://mangahelpers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2077)

And with this in hand it is soo easy to become a FH pirate- yaaaaaaaaaa. Goooooooooooooooo :Show What you Got:

Yay :)
You should also read this (http://www.franky-house.com/forums/showthread.php?t=201) tutorial. It's about making the final save (it's important for the chapter to be as small as possible - optimal size is in most cases about 4mb).

And here are the fonts I'm using in scanlations:
MU (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=CTYFIREY) || SF (http://www.savefile.com/files/1043198)
Anime Ace - I use it usually in sidetexts and when I want to softly expose something in the text.
Ale and Wenches - I use it only in Tsubasa RC in the first and the last page (in insert text)
BadaBoom - I use it in shouts and when Oz is speaking or in One Piece in the names of special techniques
Damn Noisy Kids - in shouts, in the names of special techniques
DeathRattle
Gorilla Milkshake - in *pant* *cough* and sth like that (written in small letters)
Irezumi bold - sometimes in thoughts
KR Heartalicious and KR Heartfelt - hearts
Manga Temple
Mouth Breather BB
Roddy
SF Slapstick Comic Shaded - One Piece sidetexts
Twelve Ton Fishstick
Twelve Ton Goldfish
Twelve Ton Sushi
Umberto
Zud Juice - Practically the whole text

MUAHAHAHA hey guys :)

i was asked about fonts by makhan, and to tell you the truth, i know have hundreds, almost a thousand fonts on my computer.

And sorry i can't share all of them with you because some are from the other group i am apart of and can't give them out =3 and i am too lazy to sort through all of them.

but if you ask, i know veni has a font pack that was used for OP HQ typesetting that he gave to me when i first started working for Franky House. I shall ask him if he still has it. That was a big help. Also some really good sites are:

Blambot Fonts:
www.blambot.com
this site is the best. It has the most amazing fonts.

1001 Fonts:
www.1001fonts.com
Another awesome one.

Or just type stuff into google. that works a lot of the time as well.

The important thing is to know what you're looking for. Hope that helps~

i always advise people to maintain or get their own style. Typesetting or cleaning so far as the final result is alright, but especially in typesetting.

If you are not intending to be a FH staff member (ie doing OP HQ releases)-- which is much more involving, then taking a FH style of typesetting deviates from getting your own style.

if one wants to be a FH Staff then after getting your own style you get all the fonts and extra training to suit HQ releases - which usually isnt that much more.
