Font for typewriter "Erika 3004"

Post by Boris007 »

Hello,

I have created 2 typewriter fonts, which correspond to the characters used on the typewriter "Erika 3004":
http://erika-electronic.de/index1.html
http://erika-electronic.de/54,0,typenra ... dex,0.html

- Pica 10
- Quadro 10

There are a lot of fonts on the Internet that are identified as typewriter fonts. However, these do not meet the requirements
- 10 characters per 1 inch,
- 6 lines per 1 inch.

I have a request:
Even though I've been working with FontCreator for a relatively long time, I'm not a professional when it comes to the basics of typography. This is particularly true of the Metrics-data for the Properties in FC.
Can there still be some improvement?

I have a problem: with Quadro with MS Word the space is not recognized, with Pica it is OK.

You seem to have deleted the "space" glyph. Insert a new one before the exclamation mark. The font is monospaced so the new glyph should automatically be the same advance width as the other glyphs.
