Details? What is it that you want to do exactly? What programs are you using?

Oh I'm not using any programs, I was just asking if it was possible.

I have Agent Orange font, and I was wanting to edit it so whenever I use it on a program like Word of Fireworks, whenever I change the color, it's in the inside (which is transparent) that changes, rather than the outline.

Ah, you'd need to create one from scratch, I think. There are online resources to help guide you through create truetype fonts.

As I see it from a graphic designer stand-point, the answer would be kinda yes and kinda no. I don't think you would be able to fill the color in Word. You could manipulate it in Adobe In-Design or Adobe Illustrator and then save it with a transparency [PNG or EPS] to use it in any web design or video program. After getting the text you want. In In-Design it's "type>create outlines" to turn the text into a kind of 'image'. With the 'text' selected, you would then use "object> paths> release compound paths". Now, the shape you want to color has been sent to the back so you can select the top pieces and send them to the back. Then you can select your new top shapes and color them whatever color you want. If you are not familiar with these programs then you are completely lost now and I am sorry :smile: If you are more familiar with Photoshop, you could always type on a transparent document, select the inside white of each letter and then fill with your color. Viola. Many different ways to approach this, I'm sure. Best of luck!
