TG font collaboration #2 Roundhead

[Gare]

Bill sent me a PM yesterday, and unless the kerning is an issue that cannot be handled by the current group members, I agreed that it was silly for me to be adding myself as an unnecessary chef in this effort.

You know best how you want the baseline to go with the uc and l/c.

Yep, you have kerning problems, but Bill, you can run auto-kerning in FontLab, and manually adjust anything in a long string of text that looks wrong.

I have several pangrams that are excellent for testing kerned pair, say the word if you want them.

My Best,

Gary

Gary I would greatly appreciate the programs. Manually working kerning pairs relies too much on memory and mine seems to be getting more unreliable by the minute.

Frances I think I have the kerning for the lower case 'j' covered. Working on finding other issues now.

Due to some real life work "the kind that pays the bills" I won't have time to do much until late this afternoon, but the lowercase j looks good now.

Gary if you could post those panagrams they might be helpful for kicking the tires so to speak

Could everyone try the fonts within the attached zip file and provide feedback, please?

Only install either the .ttf or the .otf, not both.

Bill I just looked at the font and it looks really good except I do have an issue with the capital L. To me it looks like a G so see below for my suggestion. Either one on the left is fine with me.
What does everyone else think?

Hi Larry,

The 'g' look is directly from Gare's posted bitmaps of the original here http://www.talkgraphics.com/showthre...840#post438840 We could do an alternate for it.

[angelize]

I have finally had a few mins to play around with the font and I agree with Larry about the Cap L but I think that the alternative on the right in the example looks better to me

Or... How about something like this?



Let me know if you want my .xar
