Naming (and font properties) for a font family

That makes better sense. :wink:

Feel free when you create new work to post images of the works, maybe in the General section. I like such things and I think it goes to promoting FC.

For my Wickednesse font – which I’ve now renamed Alde Blacke Magick, of course – when I first “finished” it (later discovering that it was far from finished, of course), I did post a whole pile of images showing the entire character set, along with various text samples, too.

You can check that out here, if you’re curious…

In many ways that particular font still looks very much the same – just a LOT better! That is, I’ve added in a fair bunch of symbols, etc., and done lots more kerning and stuff. I also gave up on the Cyrillic characters because I’m utterly clueless for how it “looks,” since I don’t speak/write that language and just can’t tell – plus I also was totally making that up, and learned that 16th century Cyrillic looks hardly anything at all like modern cyrillic, so I was way off-base as far as any sort of historical accuracy.

I did keep the Greek in my blackletter font, though, because that often appears in early printed texts – I’m seriously thinking that I should also do up a Greek character set for either my roman or italic font, or maybe even both. Ugh, that’ll be rather a chore, though, especially since I’m clueless on Greek/Latin as well, and so it’s hard for me to know what “looks good” for that as well (kerning-wise, or whatever-else-wise).

Anyway, if you haven’t seen that page before, with that big overview of my blackletter font (in an earlier incarnation), you’ll probably enjoy a peek at that. :slight_smile:

Um, now that that early version is pretty much defunct, and it’s going by another name and everything – not to mention I’ve since created those three other fonts to go along with it, too – I’m not sure if that whole, entire thread should be trashed? Or if I should add a note or something to it to that effect???
