    I would like to volunteer also for the Soquili project but before doing so I would just like to check my eyes are up to it so I've uploaded this file to see if this is up to the standard you require Gary, eyes are not as sharp as they use to be

    Exclamation Re: Soquili Font: ready to proceed!!!

    @Stygg—

    I am not an optometrist, but your eyes appear to be fine to me! Your work is splendid, and I see you did the shadow as a separate piece. If everyone does this (it is NOT required), I could make the lowercase alphabet the shadow, to make a really complex and rich animation.

    BUT:

    1. This is a font, and its primary purpose is to honor Bill and make nice patterns, with the "hidden" animation capability a secondary consideration. So thinking about this, we probably don't need the shadows from anyone.

    2. Stygg, Rik volunteered to do 20-26, so theoretically we're covered.

    Is anyone dropping out or would like to share a few characters with Stygg?

    Cheers for that Gary, I'd be happy to help out if anyone wants to share, seeing that you seem to be covered is good news but I will still help out if anyone needs a break or anything.

    Regards, Stygg

    It's all good!

    Now bear in mind that I don't have an assistant for compiling the font...I'll be going solo here and it's tricky work if we want a good font, so please bear with me as you finish the glyphs and perhaps we can release this one in a month or so.

    My Best,

    Gary

    I'll share with you Styyg I've attached 4 to 6 but first you need to post a release. You can copy and paste the following and change my information to yours.

    I understand that this is a license agreement only; it does not transfer copyright ownership and does not change my rights to use the artwork I contributed for any other purpose.

    Also there may be some more design work needed when we finish, possibly a pdf glyph guide and some examples of the font in use. And perhaps a short tutorial show how to use the font as an animation
