Chronicle Text font

I have just uploaded to the web a font named Chronicle Text Outline.

This font is a variation on the Chronicle Text font. The intention is that Chronicle Text Outline is used for two-colour displays in conjunction with Chronicle Text.

I produced the font using a semi-automated process, first using the Glyph Transformer facility of Font Creator 5.0 on all glyphs and then using direct adjustment of those glyphs which produced an error at validation.

After some experiments where I found that Thin by n font units followed by Hollow by 2n font units has a net effect of not altering the original contour yet adding another contour, I commenced by using a Thin transform of 42 horizontal and 32 vertical and then a Hollow transform of 84 horizontal and 64 vertical on a copy of Chronicle Text. This reported 29 validation errors.

I then gradually altered the glyphs where there were validation errors. This was a task yet not as much as it at first seemed that it could be because, for example, one glyph with a validation error was k and another was k with a comma accent below it, so by correcting the glyph for k copies of the contours could then be used to correct the glyph for k with a comma accent below it: similarly for K and K with a comma accent below it. A few items were copied directly from Chronicle Text.

There are two pdf documents showing Chronicle Text and Chronicle Text Outline in use together.
