Speech balloon
Four different shapes of speech or thought balloons
Ballon Speech balloons (also speech bubbles or word balloons) are a graphic convention used in comic books, strips, and cartoons to allow words (and much less often, pictures) to be understood as representing the speech or thoughts of a given character in the comic. There is often a formal distinction between the balloon that indicates thoughts and the one that indicates words spoken aloud: the bubble that conveys subjective thoughts is often referred to as a thought balloon.

P22 POP ART
Pop Art Volume
»This font set was developed by P22 type foundry for the Albright-Knox Art Gallery and is inspired by their collection of Pop Art. Artists such as Warhol, Lichtenstein, and Rauchenberg sought to blur the lines between high and low art as well as the boundaries between art and everyday life. The alphabets and extras in this set reflect that spirit.

Comics and Cartoon Lettering fonts
 
I DON'T REMEMBER who said there are more than 60000 fonts available on the net. But it can be hard to find a good font for comic book lettering. Here is a list of all the dialogue fonts I know. I started searching for fonts with Swedish accents but now I am listing all the fonts I find. There are no downloads on my site. I try to link to the original type designers. For lettering tutorials click here. If you are looking for special effects fonts try these links

  Datatextning
swedishTexta pratbubblor med dator
*DET LÄR FINNAS minst 60000 typsnitt på nätet. Ändå är det svårt att hitta särskilt många som är bra för att texta pratbubblor. Ett användbart typsnitt måste åtminstone ha VERSALER (stora bokstäver), Kursiv och Fet stil, siffror, skiljetecken och förstås svenska bokstäver. Gemener (små bokstäver) behövs också ibland.
*Jag har letat speciellt efter typsnitt för Macintosh med svenska bokstäver men här redovisas allt jag hittat som kan vara till nytta för serieskapare.
*Lite mer om hur man gör när man textar med datorn kan du läsa här

Svenska bokstäver
»Accented Letters« - »International Characters« saknas ofta bland gratistypsnitten. Svenska flaggan visar var jag hittat ÅÄÖ.
