Yes, that would be a great idea! But yes, that would be a great deal more work, too. I could easily come up with tons of variations for practically every letter (except some that only came up very rarely in Thoreau's manuscripts, like x, z, etc.), but I suppose to do so you have to also make sure that each one kerns the same as all the others, even if they "look different," eh?PJMiller wrote: ↑Sat Sep 26, 2020 10:10 am One interesting idea for a font like this might be to make slight variations of letters, then use the random function to select which variation is used.
This would make it so that the same letter would look different in different places on the page and this would make it look more handwritten.
Yes I know it's a lot of extra work but it's just an idea. Take it or leave it.
Definitely an interesting though -- although a little too ambitious for me right now. Maybe some day, for "version 2" of my font.
Do you know how to do this stuff, PJ, though? Like, do you know how to do my last/latest question, swapping out a different lowercase "i" whenever it's on either side of a "t"?
