@LemonsterOG : It doesn't matter. A PO font is just a .png file and a .pofont file. But they can't be uploaded to the workshop directly. I must create a asset (.crp) and use it to upload. The easiest way to create a asset is PARK, because it doesn't need 3D models. So you find all my PO fonts have "Park" tag. But they are same with "Prop" fonts. Both prop and park .crp files were removed in the uploading process. Don't worry!

@98ColdDew -- PO Fonts in the past have all been tagged as "Prop", but yours is "Park".

Any particular reason? Are these different than the ones of old?

@The Doot Slayer : Of course! You can colour them with any colour you want!

This is exactly the type of thing I was looking for! Are the shapes colourable?

@DimensionalOne—they appear within a text field within the “Text Customization” editor. You must select the “shapes” font from the drop down font menu and then ,when you type a letter on the keyboard, a corresponding shape appears within the line of text. It is a bit of a novelty to get used to, and a Rosetta Stone for it would be helpful but I can see how these shapes would be very useful.

For example, because the PO Text Customization editor allows for layering of fields, you could insert a large circle, colour it yellow, and then add another text field over top in which you put a red star. On top of the red star you could (by switching to a font like Arial) add the word STAR in white letters, or any other text in any available font. Voila, a new simple custom logo.

I just used this font to create a welcome sign for my city with a big heart shape on it.

@Dimensional One : Sorry, they are used in PO Text Customization, not independent objects.Maybe you can use this one :

Are these stand alone objects? Can I take these by themselves and put text into them, to paste them directly on walls or other props like they were their own billboards?
