    Default Re: Morning Glory font collaboration discussion.

    To share the workload I need some volunteers to trace the lower case as well as design the missing characters, and, others to do the same with the numbers. I was also thinking about adding all the other characters seen on the keyboard, is that a good idea, or is that nu-necessary additional work and better left to those that create the font itself? If someone would like to help me with the upper case letters, that would be most appreciated.

    Default Morning Glory: the large resolution bitmap

    I have a larger JPEG, better resolution, just made it, sorry Larry!

    If we can push this back about a week in terms of assigning stuff, I'm pretty good at faithfully reconstructing missing characters and can volunteer after I get April's Xara Xone done.

    Larry: Does this font not already exist?!

    Rik, if you can find it, you can keep it.

    As far as I know, the font specimen was published in 1904, it's P.D., so we're free to create a typeface based on the specimen sheet.

    I only ask the question because I thought I had seen something similar.

    I have been searching for the Morning Glory font but have not been able to find it. Anyone know what the version is called or where to find it? I am starting to wonder if that project should not have been canceled.

    Larry, we need to kill the Morning Glory project because Nick Curtis created a very nice version based on the very same catalog specimen years ago. It's so nice I bought it on Fonts.com for eight bucks.
