Member ranking titles

I recently downloaded a cool font, so I wrote the member titles with it.
It's a cool caligraphy font. ^_^
If you like it, and if you feel like it, please see if you can use it for member titles.

Hi Hitori,

that is very cool. Where did you get the font from? I could use something like that.

I'll probably take them and use them for the title graphics when I get a chance. BTW, you missed one that will come between "senpai" and "shifu" - but it will take a long time for anyone to get up there.

Here you go: http://moosim.pe.kr/pds/Hcho_Hangul.zip

Apparently this is a Korean/Chinese font.
I just typed the kanji using Japanese IME and converted it to this font.
Works well this way.

One strange thing is that I can't seem to use this anywhere other than from Photoshop.
I have Office XP and Word doesn't seem to recognize it...strange.
Well, I won't be writing letters to anyone using this font any time soon so...

PS. what IS the rank between Senpai and Shifu?

Actually, let's leave that a mystery for now...that'd be more interesting.

bummer, I couldn't use the font to make the other ranks...
How did you convert it to that font - I can select it in Photoshop, but I don't think it uses the same encoding as Japanese. (It might encode the characters in a chinese charset, and I don't know how to convert between charsets...)

I did change the other titles. Used pngs too, so they have nice alpha transparency.

Anyone know of any plug-ins or something to add png alpha transparency support for IE so I can see the title icons without a gray box?

I could switch browsers, but I'm used to IE and there are actually some things I like about it compared to the alternatives.

I am not aware of any, but IE is really, really delinquent in its standards compliance. PNG is a web standard, and they really should implement correct functionality. There is a way to make IE work correctly with PNGs, but it involves embedding some code in the web pages, which is just assinine.

I can't think of a single thing better in IE than Mozilla / Phoenix.

To Fugu:

I don't know why it won't work for you.
I'll write down what I did.

1. Write out kanji in Notepad.exe using Japanese IME
2. Open Photoshop document
3. Select Text tool
4. Copy kanji from Notepad
5. Paste to Photoshop
6. Select the text and change to the Calligraphy Font (forgot the name)

Yuurei is "ghost", and the next level up is Tamashii, a "spirit". After that, there is "Kouhai", a term for a junior member in a group... Nobody has gotten farther than that I think.

Okay, thanks. What about the staff guys? Like you... shifu? Whazzat?

shifu = teacher/master

And there aren't any staff other than Fugu.
