I have all the glyphs we need for the ideal number of registers in the font.
I'm closing on the April Xara Xone, will get back to the Burgeon font on Wednesday.

Just for fun a Xara 3D Maker 7 play with that 13306G glyph, copied from DP7 and pasted into X3DP7.

Not at all, Bill.
By the way, this month's Xara Xone tutorial is live now, and it's on typography, fonts, and jes' plain good design.
Larry has the Guest Tutorial spot in April.

I've watched the video twice now, great work. BTW did you really buy that flamingo or did you already have one?

I think that extruded tile looks really pretty Bill.
I'm thinking that when the Bergeon font is complete and posted in the TG Free and fixed Font gallery maybe we should have a Font Play thread with it?

Thanks Frances.
I think this would be great for a font play.

Hi Gary--which number?

Hi Mike—
It has to do with not just the glyph, but all the other glyphs in the typeface. I know (and so do you) that your MyFont.vfb will indeed export correctly...but it only has one character.
You have 1,697 control points there on 191 combined paths according to a utility I used.
Um, that's a lot. PostScript is limited to 200 control points and I believe the hypothetical limit to Truetype is 900, but DO NOT quote me on this. The upper limit is derived from a combination of control points, control handles, and number of vectors versus curves.
It's a beautiful drawing, Mike.
But it's a top-heavy glyph, fer shure.
My fault for assigning it to someone. Future (?) picture fonts I'd recommend no more than 400 control points.
My machine was dragged to its knees, and it's not a Dell laptop, okay? And when my box did perform, FontLab 4.5 and 5 crashed.
So there's a lesson here. I'll observe it in the future and we all can learn that: just because a drawing is nice, elegant, or intricate, this doesn't necessarily make it a good candidate for a typeface.
