TG font collaboration #2 Roundhead

[angelize]

I like the idea of the .com sign, I'll do that after I finish the last two Bergeon tiles. The ampersand that you did Bill looks great, are you volunteering? There is a comma in one of Gary's samples but the rest of the punctuation we will have to create ourselves.

What's left so far then is everything that Barbara mentioned plus dollar sign comma colon semi colon question mark apostrophe, quotation

Any volunteers for any of this? Larry mentioned that he was willing to help. Anyone else?

[angelize]

Ok here is that .com sign Now we need the rest of the punctuation!

Hi Angelize your dot com looks great! Everyone is doing a fabulous job too. I am willing to do the things Barbara asked for provided I'm not treading on anyone's toes! unless you have another idea of whats needed as you are further along now...

think I might say with a degree of safety that Barbara is trying to encourage participation while at the same time mindful that she is not a Moderator on the typography forum, and neither am I.

Frances, you can Christine should micro-manage this Roundhead typeface, right? Let Michele know what you think you need, and that's that.

Carry on!

Ok I am sure this a typo but I'm not sure if you meant " you and Christine..." or "you understand Christine..." either way I am fine and do understand.

I am just a little over enthusiastic sometimes

Frances - I hate to say this but I would have to disagree with your choice for &, @ and # symbols. If this is to be a really usable font it would need to have more regular symbols.

Can we have other opinions please? Thats not to say that these couldn't be included in the extra characters of an OTF font.

Michele - perhaps you could have a go at the $,£ and euro symbols.

Rather than having them as extra characters of an OTF which is not supported by Xara would be possible to map them to keyboard symbols that are usable in Xara programs?

Full support for open type fonts is something that has been asked for on the forums but I don't think we will be seeing it anytime soon, providing regular keyboard access, even if it has to be an Alt +numberpad code to these extra glyphs would be better IMO at least.
