I've been violently sick. Gotta get better before I can continue.

All my best wishes for a speedy recovery. Love your idea here to have replaced numbers by game cards

As two or three people have expressed interest and encouragement with this project, I can easily say that is my most anticipated font to date. ;)

I renamed it and smoothed out its pixelated origins. I hope you like it. If you use it, I'd love to hear about it (but that's not required).

OK, July 4th (USA's Independence Day) 2014 and I'm going to release/publish it. I still have some characters to smooth the jagies out of, but all of the upper and lower case basic latin letter set characters are done, and some of the punctuation, as well (the same punctuation as the preview I released with the upper case letters). Happy Birthday, U.S.!

Of course, it's not done yet. Right now the Basic Latin letterset and the © are done. I think the TM, TEL and SM symbols, and perhaps my logo. But I wanted to make sure that a couple of people knew I was working on it.

The numbers are simple cards with dots because I am still using this font to protest our poor education system, and how my son works way too hard at math in order to learn because we teach our kids so terribly poorly (which is why we rank so poor in education against the rest of the world, and why we have so many ignorant people in America).

Uppercase letters kerned to uppercase letters.
Lowercase letters kerened to lowercase letters.

Next: Kern Upper and lower case letters to each other. -Done. 

Maybe finish off the Basic Latin, now.

Greater than > and Less than < signs are in.

I'm going to move the playing card numbers down to Halfwidths and Fullwidths, and replace them with real numerals.  Right now I'm working on #. -Done. 

Now I think I need to indicate that it is a 'rough' style.  Faux curves are my nemisis.

Uh-oh...

Something happened to my bricks and they just don't make any sense anymore.  I pretty much give up on this, now.  Why would the user bricks jumble into some strange fucked randomness when they were all there where they should be until RIGHT NOW?  That sucks.

Comment by SymbioticDesign 15th february 2019

I just doublechecked.  User Bricks are all screwed-up still.  Some are missing, some placed in there where they shouldn't be.  A random mess.  The original "custom" bricks are all there, never moved.  Every time I try to do something I like, FS goes nuts. 

Comment by SymbioticDesign 15th february 2019

Work in Progress.

Still working on this one. 

I just get bored with smoothing out the pixel font I created in order to make this font.  Now though, I am adding new characters, so that means progress. 

I have lost a few bricks along the way, and I don't quite understand that, but it makes doing what I want to a little harder.
