It took me 4 weeks to produce 1 font the first time arround.
After that, I would allow 4 weeks per regular font, given its a full character set i.e. first 256 plus most used extentions for things like open and close double quotes.
But if you want a real fancy script then 8 weeks plus.

You got it. “contrasting” you understood it, you wrote “it would not necessarily be like Pascal.” Do not worry about virtual machine. Nearly all hardware machines require the translation from y = a + b to ab+y= and a stack just makes the language easier to translate to machine code. Check http://gro...

High Level Language for Hinting Hi all Given previous postings, auto-manual hinting is popular, but as one member remarked, hinting language are such a BLANK that its doubtful that anyone would use them.

hinting gray scaling legibility
Before moving on to the rest of my project, I decided to check the legibility different fonts at 6 pt and 8 pt sizes with and without hinting but with gray scaling on and Windows character smoothing on.

I can use the keyboard sequence ALT 163 to insert ú and ALT 0163 to insert £ but this only appears to work on values up to 0XFF and not on values in the private code space 0XE000 and above.
