Help changing letter K

Post by Steve »

Hello everybody;
First time poster here...
I'm trying to change the letter "K" in a font set to look like a "K" and not an "H". Could somebody make the change and notify me as to how it was done?

Your help is greatly appreciated!

I think the horizontal stroke needs to stay horizontal to match the rest of the font.

Enter points mode, and drag around the nodes to be moved. Use the Shift+Down, and Down shortcut to move the nodes by 100 funits and 10 funits respectively. Maybe move the top of the right arm a bit further down.

I think the font in general could benefit from a few diagonals, however this would change the style of the font dramatically.

Thanks for the help. I managed to make the "K" look like a "K" rather than an "H". It took a little time as I don't know all the shortcuts but it looks OK to me.
