So, I made a font.

[classicdrogn]

It's kind of a retro-scifi look, with simple shapes for the most part but it does have full standard ASCI characters, and a bunch of symbols and diacriticals as well. It's vaguely similar to Lady Starlight by Ray larabie, but considerably more more legible thanks to not being caps only, and many more glyphs.

Let's see if I can successfully use the "embed" link provided by Fontstruct...

That's looking like a 'no.' Oh well, here's a plain old link.



Edit: Old link died with v2, see new post below

ETA: on screen, it comes out tiny.... I need to play with the Fontstruct site and figure out how to scale it, I guess...

One more edit to add: This is a monospaced font, made specifically to have something more interesting than Courier to look at in coding windows and text files.

Cool font, bro!

[Bob Schroeck]

Yeah, and what a cool site -- I had no idea something like that was available on the web. You are likely responsible for a lot of future lost time for me.

This is even cooler than the "What The Font" identification website I got into my bookmarks list a couple of years ago.

I've tweaked it some, making m more distinct from n at small sizes, and making the mathematical operators more visible - this is now called http://fontstruct.com/fontstructions/sh ... ht_mono_v2. I'm also in the process filling in the rest of the Latin special characters; Extended Latin A is done right now and I've started on B, but that's in v3 which is not yet publically shared. I'll post again hen I have a final version.

Full Extended Latin sets with all the accent marks you could want, and a few Greek letters as well. Having had all the Mac Plus B&W pixel-by-pixel graphics editing nostalgia I can take for a while after 800-something glyphs, I am going to call this done for now. Maybe someday I'll finish off the Greek and Cyrillic alphabets, but unless someone asks or I suddenl have a need to use them it's unlikely. V3 also has larger punctuation marks to be more easily read at small sizes.

Anyone interested in trying the sight out themselves may be interested in dNN's Wedgey Tools as a starting point with more angles than the default bricks already constructed as what they call "composite bricks." Not that making them is hard (the most difficult thing is to remember you can't be in full-scrreen mode because it disables the hotkeys and you have to hold SHFIT while clicking the toolbox image of a composite brick to edit out any "padding" bricks added as spacers before compositing it) but why duplicate effort?
