Chris - Its looking good, notice you have improved some of the letters, But have noticed the lower case "r" doesn't appear to have a notch in it.

...puuhh it is much work but i will finishing the font soon.

@Chris,

Would you object if I played around with this image of you font? I would like to add some color/texture and a few other things to see how it could look, if you do not mind of course.

No problem. Try out what you want. When the font is complete i will share it.

Is it possible - the whole alphabet in *. svg ?

I don't see a uppercase or lowercase 'T' in the sentence. I also feel that the lowercase 'T' should look different for the uppercase 'T'.

For example, if I used the word... Transportation, you can clearly see a difference in the uppercase 'T' and the lowercase 't' in the spelling of this word.

Oh looks cool. Here is a Screenshot of the T`s.
I will first create an svg font of the set then ttf and otf.

Ah yes Chris, that looks great.

I would love to be able to use this font when it is finished.

Chris your missing 'T' has been found "waltzes" not walzes

Ah, ok....i build the sentence by copy and paste the drawn letters.
Basic Latin is 90% ready. :yes

BTW: I found the portable Font Forge Version, so i can try it on the win machine.

Did you see the Windows version at Sourceforge?

Chris F · **Posted:** Wed Mar 27, 2013 2:26 am **(#33)**

Chris, your font is totally excellent. I can't imagine the time and work you put into it. We have a budding font maker and we were the first to see your efforts. :clap

I`m happy to share this creative process with you here!
The Basic Latin is full drawn now, but now it comes the hard part of Font Forge and good kerning.
But it seems to be a good chance to create the font before the weekend!

Ok, i`ve created the font now with automatic kerning so far! But it looks not good in GIMP cause the space glyph is wrong.
I Office it is not a problem.
