TG font collaboration #2 Roundhead

Barbara how do I see the meta data in a pdf file? Better yet, how do I create meta data in a pdf file? I don't create pdf files often and have never thought about them having meta data.

Bill, in Xara, when you export PDF, go to the Document tab, enable "Include Document Information", and then fill in the blanks.

You can see the metadata in a PDF file, in Acrobat Reader, by choosing File>Properties>(Description).

Thanks Gary.

Ok so Bill are you doing a PDF keyguide for the extra glyphs? or do we need a volunteer? (a volunteer would need a copy of the font file) I think we should use the burgeon PDF as a template for this and all future key guides.

Frances I have started a .xar file that will eventually be a pdf key locator. I've been a bit under the weather for a few days so I have not got much done.

I agree about using the Burgeon key locator as a template. Which is what I am using.

[Gare]

I'll volunteer to do the PDF, Frances.

The key layout and the number of characters is entirely different than for Burgeon. But I can np and tuck the thing, and put all the metadata in it.

Bill, I await your vfb file!

My Best,

Gary

[Soquili]

Thanks Gary, I sent the vfb file to your personal email. Let me know if I need to zip the file as I attached the vfb directly to the email.

For everyone's information:
In the Celebrated Burgeon Ornamental TG font there are 60 glyphs. In the Round Head TG font there are 216 glyphs.

Just tried the font Bill posted. Should we be concerned about the kerning relative to the original layout (bitmaps Gare posted)?
It needs about 50-60 ems between letters to match.

[Gare]

Hi Fred—

Um, this entire typeface is in the works, kerning, everything.

Bull, contact me if you think you have the free time to pull the cap heights down to the character heights.

In order for punctuation to work, all the caps need to be aligned and flush with the character height.

I've devoted three hours this morning, and I'm up to the extended characters now.

THEN comes metrics, THEN kerning.
