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

[Big Frank]

i've edited all four font variants, where do you want me to send them?

[Gare]

Frank, check your tg mail for where to send them to, thanks.

Nobody do nothing.

Gimme 24 hours and I'll be responsible for finessing and packing the font up, and I'll ask Barb for the final blessing before she posts it.

Cool?

Thanks!

good going guys

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
