[angelize]

Thanks Barbara.

@ Bill—

If you need any help bringing this to fruition, you know where you can find me.

I'm finally book-free, the book's gone to Editorial and then Production, so I have some free time until I get myself in trouble again.

Like with the May Xone tutorial.

Thanks Gary. Another day or so should have this all wrapped up. I had planned to have this done last Friday but a spike in my blood pressure sidelined me until today.

[Soquili]

The attached zip file contains updated roundheadTG.vfb, roundheadTG.ttf, and roundheadTG.otf files. It also contains roundheadTGHeavy.vfb, roundheadTGHeavy.ttf, and roundheadTGHeavy.otf files. There are also roundheadTGSemi-condensed.vfb, roundheadTGSemi-condensed.ttf, and roundheadTGSemi-condensed.otf files.

Please give them a try and let me know if there are any problems.

If you install all three there will be only one listing in the Text Tool dropdown list but there will be three styles listed in the flyout if you hover over the fontname. The three styles will be Regular, Heavy, and Semi-condensed.

All three will be individually listed in the Font Gallery.

Shiznit, you've been busy, Bill!

I downloaded, will review right now.

Thanks!

Gary

Thanks Gary.

Bill, I had a quick look at the font and the lower case L in the Semi-condensed version seems to have a problem (too wide).

[Soquili]

Thanks Larry. That is fixed but I will hold off posting updates until we have input from everyone.


Please be considering if we will want or need italic versions of any of the styles.

[Gare]

If I'm thinking ahead of you, Bill, an italic version could be generated from FontLab, but it would be a fake italic version, IOW, the lowercase "g" and other characters wouldn't be changed, just slanted.

Can you pick up on your other line? I just sent you a zip file.

Thanks!

Gary

well, not fake per se. call it roundhead oblique.

a lot of title fonts don't have a true italic.
