Soquili Font: ready to proceed!!!

No worries, Gary! Didn't feel singled-out at all. At least not in a bad way.

And ya know, beginning with Windows 8.1, colored glyphs are now possible. Just sayin'.

Anyway, Folks...
I have begun and used the following image for the first glyph. For anyone playing along, we need to post here as to which image we are working on from Gary's compilation of patterns.

The first one I have done:

Here is the glyph tested in XDP. The red vertical line is XDP's cursor. This is the result of typing the cap letter M twice to test the kerning of the temporary font.

As Gary is really pressed for time at the moment, please feel free to send me your completed XAR files for any you have worked on. I'll get the ball rolling on stuffing them into a font file, adjust the spacing and kerning.

I'm just ducking in for two secs.

Mike, that's amazing; you did a superb job on the stitchwork.

How are other contributors (such as I) going to compete?

Well done, friend,

Gare

I was just looking over this old thread. What a shame that it stalled and has gone no further.

**mwenz** · 14 April 2017, 03:38 PM

Yes. My fault entirely.

I doubt that Mike.

Let me see if I can't get something going again. I'll check back in in a few days, okay? I've sort of been living in FontLab for the past two days, the font idea shouldn't be hard to pull up and re-evaluate.
