Heya. First of all, I love the credits page you guys have lol.

anyways, I would like to apply for the typesetting position here. I have experience typesetting before from various scanlation groups.
Hope you'll have me

Good day!

Unfortunate time to log on; you'll have to wait a few hours for a test, most of the members won't be online for a few more hours (or so the past would dictate).
Is there any project in particular you are aiming for? I think we might be getting one or two more soon, but we're always in need of more translators lol.

Oh, too bad. I would have to do the test tomorrow then. I only have 2 more hours to spare.

umm... i dunno about translating but I'm not looking to Typeset a particular manga. Anything's good as long as it isn't josei or shoujo or yaoi. I'm not comfortable with those

Lol relax, there's no yaoi here (for which I am very thankful).
We haven't got anything set in stone for the next project, but from my own observation we're leaning towards another shounen manga. Really you'll have to wait for Tran Linh to log on before figuring out which project you'll be on.

And I say that under the assumption that you'll pass; the fact that you have previous experience with other groups is your assurance of that already.

whew, that's reassuring
Oh ok. If he doesn't come online before i go then i'll check this thread again tomorrow.

nah i like taking tests. And for all you know i could be lying about my experience mwahaha. just kidding

Hi , you want to be a typesetters?
Our group is lacking a regular typesetter for these series:

_ Higanjima. (this one is pretty weird, I can't remember how many typesetter has registered for this manga, and after several chapters, they all disappeared.)
http://www.mangafox.com/manga/higanjima/
_ Shuukyuu Shoujo.
http://www.mangafox.com/manga/shuukyuu_shoujo
_ Ibitsu.
http://www.mangafox.com/manga/ibitsu_okada_kazuto
_ Love Junkies. (this one, i'm not sure since its fate is not decided yet because we are seriously lacking the staff for this)
http://www.mangafox.com/manga/love_junkies/

And some new projects. As you can see, it's all shounen (or rather seinen), no shoujo in the list. (although we do have shoujo projects (and I intend to expand in Shoujo projects too)
That's a general summary for projects in need of staff.
Take your pick , if you can't then I would prefer you do Shuukyuu Shoujo or Ibitsu or both (if you can )
Anyways, I'm in charge of translation and new projects. You will have to wait for Demonspawn or Rakan to give you a test, and then pass it. If you pass those tests, you are in, good luck.

Just finished watching 7 pounds movie. great movie =D

anyways, Nice to meet ya Tran Linh. About the projects... I think i'll pick one after getting in first. Don't wanna get ahead
And i think i'll do the tests tomorrow after breakfast or something. I hope i pass. Oh and can you tell me what fonts to use on what occasions? And if you guys have your own way in typesetting stuff, let me know so i can adjust.

Thanks!

it really depends...seriously, you don't want to know about the fonts that InnocenceInDeath and Synnminion are using for project Love So Life
But normal one, I think it's wild word, no? and Demonspawn wrote a guide outside the guide to typeset in this sub-forum, I think . But again, i'm the last person who you want to ask about typesetting since I know next to nothing about it xD. Other typesetters will surely satisfy your question though :3

7 pounds? Funny stuff, I only remember 7 pounds for Will Smith who has his face all over the poster, moreover, his name's size is = the name's of the movie xD

Anyways, nice to meet you too

...we don't use THAT many fonts, Tran.
...Okay, maybe we do. But that's because it's shoujo. (And it's totally my fault)

Shounen projects use wild words, wild words bold, deathrattle bb (and feast of flesh for higanjima). So only really 2-3.

nah, actually, I like the current fonts for Love So Life , it looks really cute and eye-candy . Right, I forgot to ask a question, how did you find the fonts that fits Love So Life? don't tell me you went through all the font...

It's a very simple guide https://xscansx.forummotion.com/t163-guide-to-typesetting

and the test http://www.mediafire.com/?5f18ogbs3lirb7y

Oh and sorry about the late reply I'm on painkillers right now and my body is totally fucked up :/

Anyway I'm looking forward to seeing how you do, so Good luck to you,

PS and the fonts used are listed in the first link lolz

shit, you are on painkiller now? I'm sorry to hear that, and aside from that, I'm glad you didn't type "good luck to you" -> "good fuck.."or kinda like....

Ok, sr for the bad joke , rest dude rest now, eat a lot of watery fruits and vegestable, have a good nap (8 hours preferably) and you will return to be our slave driver again :X

Lol I can't I had all four of my wisdom teeth ripped out yesterday, but damn, from what I heard about people on T3's I don't have any of the side effects :/ I feel normal which is weird, but my sleeping patterns are totally skewed.

four? even more, 4 wisdom teeth? gosh, it must be tough losing so much wisdom
Anyways, leave remaining things to us xD (although i'm the last person you should count on when it comes to potatoshop thingy :X

@ Tran: I dled any of the fonts used in the original version that I could find, then I looked through the fonts I already had, then I browsed some free font sites for the last few.

@Innocence
you are too crazy thats still alot of work just for fonts xD
@tran
After looking at the raws for chpter 7 of Shuukyuu Shoujo i actually want to take it as typesetter. just saying i can handle 2 typesetting
@wantcoke
good luck with the test. i'm actually new to this group myself, they welcome me with big open arms =) so we will do the same for you when you pass xD

You know now I totally respect typesetters because intercross makes editors do everything XD WELCOME TO THE TEAM!
8D Cause I'm so psychic that I know you will pass.

Thanks Haruhi and Dreams for the warm welcome

@Innocence Thanks for the info. Good thing i already have them all in my Font Manager, so no need to download. Anyways, what fonts do we use on:
-Thoughts? aaaaand do we use 545454(or 5b5b5b) color + italicize on them?
-Translator/Editor Notes
-Text in Boxes
-SFXs
-Electronic/Digital sounds

@demonspawn wow 4 wisdom teeth!? That's gotta hurt like hell xD I'll do start doing the test now, then.

Wild words
I tend to italicize the font for thoughts.

just use standard wild words for notes but put them outside of a panel.

wild words for text boxes

depends on the sfx :/
I tend to use deathrattle bb a lot tho...

I'd classify those under sfx...

And no I was put under for the operation so I woke up after it was over :D And Good luck!

Done! i used wild words plus italics for the SFXs though. Hope that's alright.

Here it is. It's in PSD so it's easier to check and edit.
Typeset test

Ibitsu is mine =p

Well then,

Love Junkies (I'm cleaning and typesetting it {temporarily} but we need a regular typesetter and cleaner)

Higanjima (all our typesetters keep vanishing... it's not hard to typeset tho... :/ kinda mind boggling as to why they're vanishing)

Shuukyuu Shoujo (I don't work on it so I don't know it's status but I believe it has a regular typesetter working on it. Diwrno if I am correct)

Nyotai-ka (You can try to pry it from my cold dead hands. I doubt you'll succeed tho X3)

Well, I've been told that not overcrowding the bubble is the way to go. I could change it, but if its fine with you guys then its alright xD


hmm.. i was eyeing Shukyuu Shoujo earlier but if it has typesetter already then i'll go for... Higanjima. Even though i smell a vanishing CURSE on it. lol.
so, 1st pick is Shukyuu, 2nd is Higanjima and for back-up, anything available

Well then head to a section that you want to work Shuukyuu shoujo is on chapter 7 while higanjima is well I don't know right now lol
