Re: Soquili Font: ready to proceed!!!
There's no way to have Xara count the control points, at least no way that's obvious to me, Larry, so just think "economical" as you draw, okay?
I can live with layers, individual files, whatever, as long as the submitted file format is Xara. What will help me is:
•if you're creating more than one horse in a Xara file:
Put the frame number, type it next to the drawing, or name the layer.
I need to know, without fail, what character or number your individual drawing is.
Cool?
Thanks!

Re: Soquili Font: ready to proceed!!!
OK.
Here's three that I've traced. I've got four more to do.
I'll post these here now for three reasons.
1. If they're OK - that's good.
2. If not, then I can be told what needs to be done, before I start on the other four.
3. I won't be able to make a start on the other four for a few days.

Thanks, all.
I will get to them summarily (it's Sunday, and I need to get the Xara Xone going for May).

Hi everyone. I already posted the first frame and finally here are frames 2 and 3. I hope I didn't hold you up Gary. Family matters kept me away from the computer over the weekend.

@ Frances—
Okay, I've wanted to say this for days:
"Hold your horses!"
:)
Seriously, I'm still finessing many of the horses to become glyphs, so even if you submit the rest over the weekend, I still won't be all set to make the font.
Plus there's paperwork.

I have gone over, and over, and over this so guess I'll post my work and hope for the best.

Re: Soquili Font: ready to proceed!!!
Larry, I just snagged your work and opened it, and it's fine, man, just as good as everyone else's splendid efforts.
Now I really need to finesse the drawings so they're not so literal in your tracing. Mostly because my model was a little crude on the mane and the tail, unavoidable to make the animation work as quickly as I got it working.
I want each drawing to be able to stand on its own as a glyph and nice artwork, and it only requires a little editing because everyone did exactly as we were asked: trace accurately over my inaccurate JPEGs.
It'll make sense after I compile and cook the font.
Larry, you and everyone did great, and I hope Bill is looking down at us and laughing.
My Best,
Gary
