Re: The tg Font Collaboration Thread
Fred: from what I see so far looks good.
Michelle: I'll download your file and have a look at how your glyphs look with the rest of the font and get back to you soon, but at a quick glance I see some good stuff there!
thank you both for your contributions!

Re: The tg Font Collaboration Thread
:thanks Christine, Frances & Larry. I'm ready to put this together (caps, lowercase & numbers). What is the best layout for the next step? Do you want everything stacked like Gare suggested in the Burgeon Ornaments thread or each on a separate layer? Seems 'stacking' might be tricky with letterforms, i.e., no reference point. Please, let me know what would make the next step easier.
Re: The tg Font Collaboration Thread
I think bill should be the one to answer that question Fred since he will be the one putting the parts together and making the font itself. But just as a guess how you have it looks good, just as long as Bill has easy access to each character.
Re: The tg Font Collaboration Thread
Fred you can have each glyph on a layer of it's own. I will copy your glyphs to a template one at a time and size them to fit the template before exporting the individual glyph.
Re: The tg Font Collaboration Thread
I think we have all the letters both upper and lower, punctuation a selection of different symbols so perhaps it's time for a look at how it's all going to come together. Bill, are going to be our fontmaster on this one?
Re: The tg Font Collaboration Thread
Yes Frances I will. Besides being fun to do, I'm learning and/or relearning things about fonts and FontLab that had faded from my old memory.
Re: The tg Font Collaboration Thread
Great, thanks Bill. Could you take a look at what we have so far? If there are glyphs that need correcting, or glyphs that we have missed just let us know.
Michelle has done two different ampersands, and two euro symbols so it will need to be decided which goes best with the rest of the font. This time around, as we are not working with symbols consistency is important. And I did those decorative extras that will need to be mapped as you see fit.
Re: The tg Font Collaboration Thread
I will need Fred's .xar for the numbers and lower case letters, all I see is the PNG file in post #50.
Re: The tg Font Collaboration Thread
Ok I didn't notice that :o
Fred: whenever you get a chance :)
