Re: "Matches" Challenge
I'm thinking this would make a great exercise for a college class. My wife, Vera, teaches a course at FIT - a State University of New York school with a heavy focus on design. They do have courses that involve font design ... I'm just looking at the course catalog, for example at http://www.fitnyc....

1868 John Bright Font
I haven't found the scribe name (John Touart ?) for this voyage, but he had fantastic handwriting. Someone should make a font of it and i doubt i will.

Re: "Matches" Challenge
I thought about "breaking" the matchsticks to make curves, but decided that would add too many points, but perhaps the numbers could be like this:

Re: "Matches" Challenge
I've never seen curved matches !

"Matches" Challenge
I thought about creating a new "Matchstick" font, took a look at what was already out there, and was not impressed. I started my own, but at 83 my hands are too shaky. Here are my beginnings, the challenge is to finish the font. https://i.pinimg.com/564x/0d/f1/49/0df149c2e3db7040a3e7955c32...

As long as a font does what YOU want it to and YOU are happy with it - IT IS PERFECT.
Perfect is Good Enough.

Re: Ancient Gothic
Who is the greater expert on Gothic script, the Unicode committee or a scribe from the fifth century writing in his native language? The Unicode committee without a doubt.
