    I agree with Bill and Fred. I have a question though, why are there two different Capital E's? One is round and one is square. Is this an option to pick which one?

    The original images has two different Es Larry. The E with angles is the primary and the rounded is an Alternate.

    Gary do you know how to rename the cell's associated with a glyph? Every time I try it deletes the glyph.

    While I too would like to retain the cap height and the original look, I feel it's important the the punctuation is correctly aligned. So if the original height can be kept and the punctuation correctly aligned that would be great, but if we have to choose between correctly aligned punctuation and the original cap height then I think the punctuation alignment gets my vote.

    Bill I am looking over your image and The exclamation mark I made does not look good (my fault), could you round just the top so it looks better please. I kept it flat so it matched the other verticals but seeing it with the other gliphs it looks wrong. So I was thinking the top if that particular character should be round like the question mark. Is that something you can easily do, or do I need me to remake that one. As far as the rest of the punctuation it looks good with the lower case letters but not with the Caps however changing anything would change the look of the font too much. This will show my ignorance but I wonder about creating an alternate punctuation set to go with the capital letters only? I say this because If all caps are needed then the punctuation needs to fit them, your A.S.A.P. is a case in point.

    Forget what I said about the exclamation mark. It looks good like it is.
