The tg Font Collaboration Thread

[Gare]

Yes, let's break it out of Burgeon, please.

I think Christine prefers Roundhead over Morning Glory...I like them both.

Done The discussion for the Roundhead font ( at least I think that's the one Larry and Christine are working on) now has it's own thread.

so Burgeon Stamps here and Roundhead there: TG-font-collaboration-2-Roundhead

[wizard509]

Christine prefers the Roundhead font, so I am doing Morning Glory.

[Gare]

Then let's split this thread out, eh?

I like both typefaces, but prefer Morning Glory.

This is a daunting challenge! Larry, Frances (and Rik in absentia): can the governing bodies here help distribute part of the workflow and watch over procedures? I'm sort of tied up finalizing the Burgeon font, and as we've seen in the Burgeon thread, it's a lot of work and a lot of contribution and opinions. And that's what makes the group font.

I want to keep it as a group effort for the sake of tg, folks. I think everyone has learning something, and will continue to, but only if we have more than one individual working on a project. I think Christine might make a good Project Leader, as I was, on the Roundhead font, and Larry's into the Morning Glory, and at very least will need Mike or Bill to help compile the typeface.

Group assignments? I recommend it!

I know for a fact this forum is attracting attention, and I want the lurkers to see that we have a system and are working together on tg on this exciting stuff! Appearance is everything

Sounds good to me Gare, you are right it is a lot of work.

[Gare]

So Larry, you have permissions here to start a new thread, you're the leader of the Morning Glory Initiative, you should solicit help.

I haven't heard from Michele, but she's a good designer and produced some good traces on burgeon, and with the exception of Mike and Frances, there's three other people you know of who are familiar with the work...and probably ten or more lurkers we need to draw in.

Go for it, pal.

Ok this sounds good to me. I will volunteer to oversee and help Christine with the roundhead font. I like that one too.

[angelize]

I finally got that last glyph done! so here is my set. I hope my work measures up to everyone elses wonderful work!

The top glyph, the one that the file opens to, looks great, Frances.

By the way, when a "repeat" is suggested, you don't have to do it 17 times!

Twice, perhaps, or wherever the edge is in the repeat, and then you tell the user to type gggggg, or whatever.

My bad for not alerting folks to this font making shortcut.

I'll be back tomorrow with what I consider the Ready for Prime Time typeface. Then Bill can critiqué my assembling.

Hats off to all!

Here's round 3.

We need five more glyphs. I can add some, but I'd prefer the executive position I appointed myself to .
