This looks nice, but my only concern is the crossbar on the A. It seems a bit too high for me, Maybe it could be lowered by a grid square and a half?
Letter Œ and ç seems to look merged.
They don't look like they are connecting to eachother?
#2 looks better IMHO
#2.
I am with the others: second option is far more legible, especially at smaller sizes.
On the other hand, for the same reason, perhaps the space between the dots of the umlaut could still be a bit wider.
I'm having trouble making some of the superscripts and subscripts look nice, especially 5, 6, 8, and 9. Does anyone have any ideas?
Finished Latin Extended-D. Someone remind me to go back and finish Phonetic Extensions and Phonetic Extensions Supplement; I put those of because it's really hard doing tiny superscript and subscript letters.
Finished Phonetic Extensions and Phonetic Extensions Supplement, and added Old Italic and Gothic. Old Italic has been modernised slightly.
Nice work so far. I wonder if you have plans on refining the font in Glyphs or FontForge when this is finished?
Maybe. I have no idea how to use either. But it'll definitely be useful to iron out the radius-3/2 curves I've had to patch together, as well as letters like Ƙ and ƴ.
How did you do those r=3/2 curves????? I gots to know!
@AFA: He used a technique called "brick patching". It was first demonstrated by will.i.om in his font "Patchman", and I used it to make large curves in my newest font. There are some samples that show you how it's done.
As above. You can see it in the second sample.
I- don't- get it??
How exactly?
How to replicate brick patching and how to apply it to smooth Bezier rounds???
@AFontAbove Dunno, but it approximates beziers even better, but still, they aren't 100% perfect and might require touching up to clean up any bumps left behind.
Amazing font, MANY characters, only issue is diacritics connecting to taller letters. For example, d̚ looks like a d with a hook.
@BaAaDa It might be because of limitations regarding diacritic placement.
Take the G with Tilde for example. It is a letter of the Guaraní alphabet, but there is no pre-composed Unicode character for it, so you have to use the combining tilde. Without the use of anchor marks, either the capital has the diacritic colliding with the letter, or the lowercase having it separated from the letter.
@Meek if you see this, change "character from it" in the above comment to "character for it"
@frongile: William only first gave it a name, the technique wasnt something new.
Well, I can't do this and will.i.om did it in that font... I can't accumulate so many bricks and in such exact positions... in a 2:2 grid. will.i.om never revealed his way of doing it, although he announced it. Any ideas?
It's been close to 3½ years since @William Leverette (will.i.ૐ) hinted at this tantilizing new "hack" for FontStruct ("Brickstacking" on steroids?), but so far he hasn't disclosed how he achieved this amazing technique...
Brick Patching: fs Patchman by @William Leverette (will.i.ૐ)
I didn't acutally use brick patching. I just stacked a few different composite bricks to get something approximating a radius 3/2 curve.
