Meanwhile, there was a computer glitch what resulted in all the composite bricks to disappear. It happened the second with Gimli Regular. After the first incident, I rebuilt the whole thing from scratch: it took several days. Now I'm waiting for Rob, and hopefully he will sort it out spending a lot less time.
Yes, it was built on a large scale to ensure that all gaps - horizontal, vertical as well as oblique - are the same width. Well, they are almost the same, and human eye can't tell the difference. Yes, I'm planning more versions with different shades of gray to make it look more 3D.
@1saac: This fontstruction is waiting for rescue. There was a computer glitch, and as a result all composite bricks were lost. If you zoom in a bit you can see for yourself: all diagonal gaps are wider, and jagged. I contacted Rob Meek and asked his help. If he can not restore the composite bricks, I have to rebuild the whole thing again, well, the third time.
@elmoyenique: I had some free time this weekend to rebuild this font. It's almost complete: currency symbols, asterisk, and some alternate characters to create. I made a new, smaller version of @, and changed the S. The new S has more white space around, and looks forward leaning: speedier.
Thank you for offering help. I have difficulty to design diacritical marks. The diaeresis/umlaut (for Ö,Ü) is easy. Any idea for Ò,Ó,Ñ,Â,Ã ? I'd like to support most European languages, Spanish included.
Thank you.
Trying to get the diacritics into the arrangement of black shapes proved difficult and only the 'wedge' worked well, sitting on the top horizontal; it makes sense when seen in smaller pixel size and I thought that it fits the look of the letters.
I tried making a rectangle with that same kind of look, to use as the ¨ umlaut, but had problems with the size. Other diacritics needed either a reduced size which I did not manage to create successfully, or they were partially breaching the rectangle.
I wish you good luck with finding the solution to this puzzling problem.
Nice solutions for the diacritics! This is so decorative and some of the punctuation marks simply bowl me over.
@Aeolien: Thank you for your comment. You have helped me a lot with brainstorming. As I said before, it helps some times to leave the problem to rest a while. I'm still not happy with some marks. I may change the acute and the grave.
The top horizontal of your 'C' looked like it could be useful to build a grave and acute accent...
@Aeolien: That is a brilliant idea. So simple, so elegant. Thank you. I was thinking about something diagonal to include the circumflex and caron, too. Unfortunately, the fontstruction is already too big, and keep crashing the Flash plug-in, so I can't add any more glyphs to this version. I deleted all redundant glyphs already so as to keep it running. I'll do the diacritics in a separate file.
