Angle font
Posted: Sat Oct 13, 2007 10:59 am
I had an idea for a font earlier this morning and made a start at producing it for just under an hour.
I have uploaded the font to the web.
http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~ngo/ANGLE001.TTF
I have installed the font on the PC which I am using and I have tried it out in WordPad at 48 point in blue.
In this first stage version there are four uppercase letters and fifteen lowercase letters.
Here are the notes which I made in a text file named Angle font.rtf using the Microsoft WordPad program as I proceeded.

Start a new font Angle 001 in ANGLE001.TTF using FontCreator 5.6.
Run Autonaming so as to set the date in the format which I prefer.
Set metrics to 2048, 0, -768.
Try an H.
Set space and nonmarkingreturn to have widths of 1024. This may perhaps be changed later.
Try an A by adapting a copy of H.
Try an O by adapting a copy of A.
Try an o by adapting a copy of o.
Try a p by adapting a copy of o.
Try a q by adapting a copy of p.
Try a T by adapting a copy of H.
Try an e by adapting a copy of o.
Try a lowercase l by adapting a copy of H.
Try a c by adapting a copy of e. This may perhaps be changed later. Is it too pointed?
Try an n by adapting a copy of o.
Try an m by adapting two copies of n.
Try an h by adapting a copy of n.
Try an a by adapting a copy of e.
Try a b by adapting a copy of p.
Try a d by adapting a copy of q.
Try a g by adapting a copy of q.
Try an s by adapting a copy of a.
Try an r by adapting a copy of n.
