So, I hear you want to type MLP style. I will show you how to type MLP style. This text is called Celestia Redux (I have the alternative, the I is different) Ok, just follow the steps below:
1. Go to this link: http://www.mattyhex....MR/?id=download
2. Download either v1.5.5 or the v1.5.5 alternative I version in TrueType format.
3. Look in your downloads folder, or wherever the file was downloaded to.
4. Go to C:\Windows\Fonts or similar to that.
5. Drag the ttf file into the folder.
6. Done :D
PLEASE NOTE: this text will not appear as an option on websites, it can only be used on programs for your computer. There is a way to have it appear on websites, but I am not sure how to do it. It involves CSS3 code. If someone can figure it out, I will add it to this tutorial.
If you want to try to figure it out it has instructions on this link: http://www.mattyhex..../CMR/?id=how to

Oh, and in case you're wondering what the difference between the Celestia Redux and the Celestia Redux Alternative is, you can test it here: http://www.mattyhex.net/CMR/?id=demo

Or, if you'd rather buy the actual typeface used in MLP:FiM merchandising instead of getting a knockoff one:
Generation B

Twenty dollars for a font?

Hey, typeface designers have to earn a living. It's not an easy job.
There's an excellent blog post here about why you should use the real thing over the copy.

Yes I am aware of the original font of generation b, it is a great font, and you should buy it, but if you want a free one, here you go. If I had access to a credit card and a paying job I would happily buy the real font...but I don't have either of those things, so.....
