    I can see them just fine, Bill.

    Understand, dear volunteers, that I'm being critical in two areas: the design and how it looks, and how the paths are designed, what attributes the control points have and where they are located.

    I'm hesitant to begin with Frances, you know, building the prototype font before the final one.

    Let me check back in around 5pm New York time, and see if I can't begin something in FontLab.

    Take your time, but let's not lose the momentum! How's that for an oxymoron?

    How can I tell if what I have done is correct? I am worried because on some of them I have deleted some of the points and am concerned that the span may be too long.

    Never give up. You will never fail, but you may find a lot of ways that don't work.

    Thanks Gary. The test font has pointed out some areas where I forgot to add shapes or correct an extreme node or twenty. Over lapping shapes may look good on screen but tend to open up what should be a closed shape when printed as a font.

    @Larry—

    Larry if it looks good to you don't sweat it. Gary and I will do tweaking if it is needed.

    Something you may look at though is change to outline view and see where shapes may be overlapping.

    The first image shows where I had shapes overlapping. The overlap printed out as an open area without a fill.

    The second image shows the same areas after I added the shapes which printed out as filled area as it was planned to be done.

    Window -->Control Bars --> Arrange.

    Use the Boolean operations button (Add, intersect, subtract, and so on) religiously.

    Bill, on the mark. Add Shapes.

    I didn't realize I'd put the same glyph in your file twice, Larry.

    Your work is beautiful, man. Seriously nosed around it, great work!

    Thanks Gare. I tried, and I try to be a perfectionist in all I do except for oil painting where is was a struggle to "loosen up" After so many years of having to be so precise in painting, loosening up has been a challenge for me. Anyhow I tried real hard with these and I must say it's been a learning experience. I feared they might not be up to snuff yet.
