    Default Re: TG font collaboration #2 Roundhead

    You win. The first PC I sat down at was a friend's father's, a physician, who bought a 40MB, which I think cost more than $500, just so he didn't have to load a floppy to play Zork.

    And Zork still runs on my machine as long as I have a DOS emulation software loaded.

    My first XT had a 10 meg drive. I was in heaven when I upgraded to the then largest drive I could get, a 20 meg drive. When I upgraded the MB to an AT, it was nirvana. Drives were expensive, but RAM was about $125 or so a meg iirc. Geez, that was a while ago.

    Default Bouton checks in: RoundHead, in progress

    I think I'm good, thanks, Frances.

    I spent my free time today importing the original Xara glyphs, and thanks to Bill, the sizes were consistent.

    I'm currently practicing "eyeballing" for consistency and if anything seems off, I go into the glyph in FontLab, not Xara, and make corrections. I have some global guides set up, Bill, in FL, and I'll have the caps lookin' good tomorrow. This will take a few days, but when I'm done, I feel—having designed and sold and given away about two dozen fonts—that this guy will be good to go in due time.

    Notes to all: the verticals aren't consistent, not always and when you draw a straight line, use guides because some of the verticals were at .5 degrees or so.

    My Best,

    Gary

    The Roundhead font has been worked on behind the scenes and I just need some supporting documents now so I can package it up

    We need a pdf guide to show all the glyphs and how they are mapped to the Keyboard (like the one with the Burgeon Ornaments) If any one is willing to volunteer for this it would be much appreciated.

    If you have worked on this font at all please review this thread and be sure you have posted a release.

    Ok everyone first Thanks to Bill for doing the Change log. And thanks to everyone who has participated on this.

    I have decided to do a pdf specimen sheet/glyph guide from scratch for this font. RoundHead has many more glyphs than the burgeon ornaments and most of them are standard but there are a few extra features so I'm going to prepare this Pdf to show off the font, and provide the keystrokes to insert the extra glyphs.
