I live in Auckland, New Zealand. I could be accused of having curiosity a mile wide and an inch deep (something Americans are accused of). I'd be good at gameshows -- I have a smattering of knowlege in a lot of subjects. I used to be able to identify zillions of fonts at a glance but passing fashions and Father Time are fighting over which gets to defeat me first.

A cross between a slab and an I-don't-know-what. Works surprisingly well as a text face. Although it's quite quirky, setting it in a block seems to iron out the strangeness.

This one doesn't know what it wants to be when it grows up.

I was thinking you could cut down the bricks in the toolbox by a third by casting sub-menus off each of the rotating bricks; i.e. each rotating brick would have a little button a la Photoshop, giving access to the other three rotations. This retains a degree of user-friendliness for new initiates to the site. (No mucking about with special keys for rotations.)
If the user's palette floated like the others, that would give more room too. I find the floating palettes quite good because you can drag them out of the way.

Maybe shifting to CCAN licensing will discourage pilferers from trying to make money out of my designs. Cheek!

2x2 schemes are all very well but they magnify the spacing issues x2 as well. Along with the usual "f"ing question it comes unstuck where I've added half-width bricks at the start or end of a glyph.
Oh well. Trouble is my middle name.
