/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'

~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.

I'll be honest here - this is the only way I can make this. I'm using an app called ImageToolbox and I tried very hard to get the Edge of The Galaxy font to work. I saddens me deeply that this is the closest that I could get :(

ETA: in the future, I'm going to learn how to use the GNU Image Manipulation Program and hopefully have better results.

I just got it working! Let me know where you ran into an issue, hopefully I can assist

  1. Download the font file
  2. Assuming it downloaded as a ZIP or something, extract it
  3. In Image Toolbox, go to main menu > settings gear > Text > Font > Import Font (TTF/OTF) > navigate to and choose the Edge of the Galaxy font file
  4. All the text in the entire app should now be displayed as Edge of the Galaxy. Assuming you do not want that, feel free to select System or something to switch it back. Edge of the Galaxy will still be a new font choice in the editor

ETA: Definitely look into GIMP regardless. Image Toolbox is the best mobile FOSS solution that I have found, but GIMP is much more capable, if you can manage it.

That worked, thanks. It's just not intuitive to me the way adding fonts on Android works.

That’s one of the better Behind the Meme stories. No fault on your part, I just thought it was funny.
