Do we have some glyphs to fill in the duplicates?

In addition to those Christine has identified the ! and i are also duplicates.

Missing.xar

I think this one is missing from my set.

My apologies if I dropped one of your traces, Christine. As I mentioned earlier in this thread, it was very hard to keep track of abstract symbols submitted by different people. If it had been an alphabet, I'd like to think that I'd spot a missing alphabetical character.


ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRST_VWXYZ

Without U, we're lost!

Does the letter J have two glyphs in its location?

I'd prefer a Moderator to answer this, Mike. Too many cooks and all that.

Whether there's more than one J depends on which version of the font you downloaded. I myself have stopped work and will not post the font, to avoid duplications.

I suggest, and this is an alien moderator making the suggestion in Larry and Rik and Frances' absence this morning, that Bob is the designated coder from now on and he alone makes posts, that he check, and if indeed we got two J's, let Bob spot the dupe, hopefully the one he doesn't delete is approximately 650 units high because that's what I strove for, and he can add Christine's and the ones I uploaded and attached earlier.

Bill, I saved a few because I used them elsewhere, didn't want to provide stuff I've already traced for the group effort.

The two red guys at right in the attached I know for sure aren't in the set because they are off the cover of the catalogue.

Please check the others to ensure you're not replacing dupes with dupes.

Your faithful dupe,

Gary

@Mike—

The PDF is wonderful, but two issues will make it flawless, IMFFHO:

1.) you got dead space at the bottom of the document because these characters aren't used. Also, we need to fine-tooth this document because this is not the current iteration of the font.

2.) We need to count on the PDF becoming detached from the other files in Barb's wonderful suggestion to provide documentation. Nothing would be sadder than this font to get orphaned from the documentation by an unscrupulous jerk on the web (there aren't any of these, nor, are there?).

So I suggest the keyfinder should be produced as a standalone slick sheet, a selling specimen, designed just as one would design any commercial piece.

Here's a thumbnail, and attached is my rework of Mike's work as a Xara file. Mike, or anyone? Please refine what I've started?



AS a PDF, we should probably put a hyperlink at the bottom to our forum, eh?

Thanks!

Gary
