Supplementary note of 2 December 2009

I have been reading this post and realize that it is in need of updating.

I had the idea of the font being shareware at that time but gave up that idea not long afterwards. The font is now a free download.

## End of supplementary note of 2 December 2009

I have just published the Chronicle Text font onto the web.

The font is as follows.

[http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~ngo/CHRONTXT.TTF](http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~ngo/CHRONTXT.TTF)

The file with the shareware licensing information is as follows.

[http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~ngo/chrontxt.txt](http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~ngo/chrontxt.txt)

Both files are available linked from the following web page.

> **[Library](http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~ngo/library.htm)**

The links are at the bottom of the page.

The font file in the library was produced this afternoon using Font Creator Program 4.5 using as input a font file produced using the Softy program at various times since Friday 21 November 2003.

Readers who choose to have a look at the font might like to know that it contains various spacing characters in the Unicode range U+2000 to U+200B, of which hexadecimal values the decimal values are 8192 to 8203. The idea is that one can simulate manual typesetting of a medieval printshop using Microsoft WordPad using Alt 8194 to Alt 8203. One can try manually justifying text.

There are a few precomposed ligatures in the font. I am hoping to add some more.

Readers who have Serif ImpactPlus may like to try producing a three-dimensional model of some metal type using this font. That may also be possible in some other three-dimensional modelling packages but I have not tried them.
