In the thread entitled Pantone Colour of the Year for 2012 and fonts, there is a graphic displaying two new Sonnet Calligraphic glyphs, namely a calligraphic o glyph and an additional calligraphic g glyph.
Here is the font that contains the two new glyphs.
SONNC037.TTF (43 KB)
Here is an extract from the transcript.
Add a glyph at U+E6AC Alt 59052.
Copy the glyph of U+E642.
Move 224 font units upward and change to become a calligraphic o, copying the contours of an o.
Also, try a sweeping back g.
Add a glyph at U+E6AD Alt 59053.
Copy the glyph of U+E5C1
The font also contains four experimental free-standing calligraphic flourishes that I produced while experimenting on 18 August 2011.
Here is some transcript.

Open SONNC035.TTF.
Save as SONNC036.TTF.
Use Tools AutoNaming… so as to adjust the name and date.
Try to add some flourishes starting at U+E6F0 Alt 59120.
Add a cell at U+E6F0 Alt 59120.
Try to add a stand-alone flourish based on the flourish of the lowercase pp at U+E5DB.
Add a cell at U+E6F1 Alt 59121.
Try to add a stand-alone flourish based on the flourish of the lowercase pp at U+E5DC.
Add a cell at U+E6F2 Alt 59122.
Try to add a flourish based on that in U+E6F0 by replacing the leftmost 1024 font units with a double mirrored copy of the rightmost 512 font units, positioned so as to join together.
That does not seem to look good aesthetically, so add a cell at U+E6F2 Alt 59123.
Try to add a flourish based on that in U+E6F2 by replacing the centre decoration with a horizontal straight line.

Viewed some months later, the flourish at U+E6F2 Alt 59122 seems much better than I thought at the time that I produced it.
