My new custom font. (FCP font project)

Here is my own custom font, which is called the second variation of my Rodscript font.

The letters, numbers, and punctuation were drawn using Adobe Illustrator CS2.

It looks nice, so do let us know how this becomes better over time.

One thing that requires attention is the fact your outlines consist of several overlapping contours. You need to make sure you fix this before you actually release the font.

See:

To improve it, do the following:

  • Click the “correct contour directions” toolbar button on the Validation tool window
  • Merge the contours
  • Add on-curve extremes
  • Remove redundant points
  • Optimize the contour

Here is the end result:

The original outline contains 3 contours with 74 points and after the tweaks it is a single contour with 52 points.

I get you.

The FCP file has been updated. You may re-download it.

What’s new? Merged all the contours, and optimized them.

Well, can you export the FCP file to TTF for me? This font was made using an unregistered version of your FC software (10.0)

Your updated version still has a lot of glyphs whose contours are counter-clockwise instead of clockwise.

P.S. The glyph for ‘three’ still isn’t right.

Sorry, but I still can’t solve this problem.

What problem do you mean, Dan? Are you referring to the intersecting coordinates in the ‘three’ glyph? That’s the main outstanding problem that you need to tackle manually: you can tell the validator to fix the incorrect direction problem for you.

The other thing that jumped out at me was the acute accent being much lighter than the grave accent. The tilde also doesn’t look heavy enough in the composite glyphs such as Ñ.

Yeah. :unamused:

Just click merge contours, and it will solve the “3”.

Fixed the “3”.
