Dinosotype is a great font, which has had quite a lot of success among shareware font passionate. Believe it or not, it was Michel's first atempt at shareware fonts, back in 1993. He placed it on Compuserve, and boom ! In a few weeks, it was everywhere. He uploaded it to America Online, and zoom ! Several thousand downloads in the first week ! It may be because it is really original, far from the usual letters blabber. It may be because it was, at the time, the dinosaurs craze, with Jurassic Park on every screen. To-day, the video is in stores, and it was time for a new version, a little more complete.
Our dinosaur pictures have been patiently crafted, to make them as beautiful as possible, and yet scientifically accurate. Apart for a few "Barney-like" cartoon characters, all of them are inspired by the most respected dinosaur representations.
Some users have suggested some improvements. Here they are. Vectors have been cleaned in order to facilitate their printing. Some mistakes have been corrected. And more hollow figures are available, in order to facilitate coloring projects. Now, numerals 0 to 1 contain dinos, especially treated for that purpose. I know how disapointing it must be for kids to punch in some keys, without geting the expected monsters. Now, every key on the standard keyboard generates a dinosaur.
We have had lots of fonts released, some with quite a bit of download success. But it is still fascinating to see how many copies of Dinosotype have been around the globe. And how many uses have been discovered for this font.
Here are some ideas about how
to better enjoy Dinosotype.
- Quiz : print all characters from the font, and by comparison with a dinosaurs book, try to spot each dinosaur name. You will no doubt recognize the famous T-Rex, but there is much, much more to discover. You can also print out cards, which after coloring, will start or complete a wonderful dinosaur cards collection.
- On-Screen coloring : after Dinosotype has been installed in the system, you can access it from any application. Try using the TEXT tool in Windows Paint or any Macintosh color drawing programs, to have the dinosaurs appear on your screen. You can then practice coloring them with the FILL tool (paint pot), or the brushes.
- Printer output : Dinosotype prints out very fine on most printers. At any size, really, the result is always great. Try printing really big dinosaurs. You will then be able to color them with crayons or watercolors, to create splendid posters.
- Mobiles : tired of the everlasting stars mobiles ? Try printing out some dinosaurs, and glue them on cardboard. After cutting them out around the edges, and with some coloring, you will be able to assemble very original mobiles.
- Monster stickers : any good office supply store has in stock laser printer labels, which work great in most printers. Use these to printout original dinosaurs stickers, which can be placed on books, doors, lunchboxes, etc.
These are just a few ideas around Dinosotype. No doubts you will come up with much more creative uses for these prehistoric fellows. We will appreciate any new hint, which can be passed around to other Dinosaur fans.
