TG font collaboration #2 Roundhead

[Purrfeck]

Hi Bill, to answer this question I had to do a search to make sure. The 'copyright symbol' is mostly on the baseline.

I found some tips if this is helpful - For copyright symbols that rest on the baseline, try matching the size to the x-height of the font.
For copyright symbols that are superscripted, reduce their size to about 55–60% of your text size. (raised slightly and reduced in size).
™ © ®. In some browsers some of these copyright symbols may not appear correctly depending on the fonts installed.

Gary I am a bibliophile and hope that Print will never die. When I finish adding the last touches I know to do I'll email the file to you.

Michele thanks for the information. I was looking for personal preference in this particular font because we can be creative and have it "our way".

Bill—

Sorry. I thought a bibliophile was someone who reads The Bible a lot.

Ba-dah bump.

Seriously, I'll check out what you got whenever, send to my private email that takes attachments, and you'd be preaching to the choir about books. Without counting revised editions, I've written 26 in the past 20 years, and in the past 10 years, the sales have been dropping progressively.

Which means I'm getting worse at it (I don't think so), or people are turning the eBooks and the web for alternative media for learning.

Okay, perhaps not actual learning; more like "show me the steps I need to know right now, and leave out the theory and related topics."

Happily, the only time I don't use typefaces is when I'm talking to my mom over the telephone.

From a font user's point of view, I usually prefer the default size and placement of the copyright symbol to be at baseline and cap height, because that is how I'd set it most of the time in the standard phrase:

Copyright © 2012 Me and You

But this typeface has a different baseline for upper and lower case letters, so I think it should be sized and placed so it lines up on the baseline with the numbers that should follow the symbol and the fairly long string of lower case letters that often precede it.

But the numbers in this typeface are irregular in size and baseline too.

So I vote for the symbol to be sized and placed like the number 6. This would also place it on the same baseline as the lowercase t. I think this would look the best in the visual phrase highlighted in red.

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.
