History Behind The TG version of "Yanone Kaffesatz": Koffee TG!

[handrawn]

good going guys

[Gare]

I used Windows' CharMap utility to find some of the characters Frank added and copy into Xara, however: does anyone have the faintest idea how you're supposed to type (enter) these special characters in everyday life?

We'll be there soon,

Gary

Hi Guys,

Yes you need the releases - Frank (and anyone else who may have contributed) can you submit (post it in this thread) one like Gary did only with your name and details?

And yes it is a good idea to move the thread to Font Aid.

I think it is a good idea to beta test the font before release-- so anyone who wants to test the font post here in this thread and we'll see about getting the font release candidate to you.

It would be particularly nice to have it tested under a number of different language settings ie I use a copy of Windows that uses US English vs a French version of Windows or a UK one.

does anyone have the faintest idea how you're supposed to type (enter) these special characters in everyday life?

if you haven't got the slovenian keyboard you can't just type it

so you type some text into google translate and choose slovenian as output
there you'll see your text

you copy and past into xara
you choose the new font to see if the character mapping is correct

Thanks Frank that's very helpful.

I have moved this thread into the Font First Aid area. Perhaps it would be nice to offer urednik an opportunity to beta test the fonts?

[Gare]

Oh, okay. Thanks Frank.

I thought it was going to be difficult or something.


;)

BTW, The Administrator has all the fonts and the paperwork. Out of my hands, you and I did good.

Expect a post of the fonts after one or two of us that Barb appoints checks them out first.

Good Job Everyone.

I did a review and caught a small problem that Gary will sort out in the morning. So if you want to test this font before I release it, please here so I can get it to you -- Otherwise I'll test it once more after Gary's touchup and then release it.

Oh, Frank please post your release form -can't release the font without it.

[Big Frank]

please just release it
pretend somebody else did the font
just let the guy get his website done

[angelize]

Frank, I don't think we can.

If you don't want your full name published on the forum you can post the release in the thread with your screen name and PM either Barbara or myself with the release containing your full name so we have it on record.

Francois - you're the guy!!!
Well I would never had thought this single glyph would make a 6 pages long administrative thread, haha.
Anyways I appreciate all of your input guys.
