On a roll
Posted: Wed Sep 19, 2007 5:14 am
I just finished transcribing and editing two more fonts which are even worse than those Floral ornaments of the other day. These don't have a lot of details and are not very complicated images but their point count also exceeds common courtesy.
There are two subjects:
--Backgrounds or design patterns
--Specially drawn clip art
These were all sketched by the same individual therefore have the same overall characteristics -- which has meant they are very large (and slow loading) with a lot of very small details. This leads to a very light feeling font. Unless they are shown at very large point sizes the details will not be visible.

The clip art contains a glyph (unmapped) that has 63147 points. It looks fairly normal:
On closer examination the right foot alone looks reasonable also:
In point mode of course there's 2623 points in that foot -- the normal size of 2 or 3 regular images:
It's been an experience to learn about scanning, importing and "adjusting" and also about forgetting about it...
