I like what Barbra has to say as the symbol. I don't type that much, so it's good to hear from someone who does.
It has to look visually pleasing to the eye, so people would be more likely to use it. :)

I agree with that too.
Thanks Barbara, Michele, and Frances.
I made the © and ® the same size as the 6 and lower case letters. I emailed the .vfb file to Gary a few moments ago.
Sounds like we are getting close to having a second font under our belts! :D Thanks to everyone who has taken part!
Now would be a good time to do the paperwork. This font will need the permissions, the fontlog.txt, the OFL./txt OFL-FAQ.txt the pdf, and examples just as the Celebrated Burgeon Ornaments TG did. So I suggest that you take the Burgeon release package and basically search and replace, remembering to change the font name and the contributor and thanks sections.
Remember to always add TG to the end of the font name, in the font and in the documentation and in threads. It is part of the name, it is our brand and helps reinforce that this is a product of our group here at TG. Over time I believe folks will see the TG at the end of a font name and know immediately that it is a high quality, professionally done font.
When you look at the pdf, please note that it has quite a lot of metadata in it and the new font's pdf needs similar data added.
It might make a good habit for us to get into, that when we submit to a group project for the first time we also submit a contributor's release for that specific font or project. I believe that submitting the releases in public, into the thread is valuable, because it clears up forever (or as long as the forum bits keep spinning) that the font is 100% in the clear license wise; but I do understand that some may not want to have their full name out in public. For those folks, I suggest that they submit in public under their screen name ie and first name ie Barbara B ( Barbara) or Angelize (Frances) and then send one with your full name to the project leader and to me.
Barbara how do I see the meta data in a pdf file? Better yet, how do I create meta data in a pdf file? I don't create pdf files often and have never thought about them having meta data.

Thanks Gary.
Ok so Bill are you doing a PDF keyguide for the extra glyphs? or do we need a volunteer? (a volunteer would need a copy of the font file) I think we should use the burgeon PDF as a template for this and all future key guides.
