I'm going to revisit it now, and maybe make a bold and/or an italic version(s).
@four: Thanks! That's excactly my aim.
I recently passed the 4000 character mark! New additions include: Polytonic Greek, Mathematical operators, Phonetic extentions, Myanmar, Letterlike symbols and Miscellaneous symbols (Dingbats).
@cablecomputer: About the load-time it's around 3 minutes. The weird thing is that it takes significantly longer if I minimize the window while it loads...
Now, I've been putting this off for a bit, because it will require reworking of a lot of characters, but here goes: I don't like the shape of some of the most basic characters, but if i redesign them, I'd have to change them in all of the diacritical forms. I'll upload a picture with some of my thoughts.
I also changed the Æ, because that was relatively easy, with there only being around 5 glyphs containing it.
@micgio: Yes, that sample is a bit outdated ;P
@minidonut: Great! I love some competition ;)
P.S.: I shortened the name, but the font is still growing, slowly :D
By the way, in the selection from Genesis, are the colons (at least they look like colons) word separators, and the double colons sentence separators? That's what it looks like from the placement of the verses.
I applaud you for your efforts to include Ethiopic, the letter heights and bases confuse me :)
Now to add Ethiopic Extended and Extended-A? (why so many, Unicode?!)
And yes, the Ethiopic wordspace (U+1361) looks like a colon and the full stop (U+1362) is a double colon or four dots in a square. There is some quite artistic punctuation in Ge'ez it seems, for example the paragraph seperator (U+1368) is seven dots arranged in a hexagon.
@Umbreon126: I'll try :P
Yeah, I pretty much made up my own standard for the Ethiopic script as I went along. I figured I can always blame the small scale ;)
Of course, now that I'm getting into Ethiopic I might as well make all of the unicode sets.
Now only Password is ahead of me, and will probably be for a while ;) Still: I am now the fontstruction with the most *non-identical* characters.
@winty5: Not if I can outrun it ;D
GR8 THX
This took 1000 years. I can see.
10/10 I like how many characters were put into there!
How did you do that?? This must've taken years!
One word: awesome.
over 9000/10 must get.
i support hylian glyphs on unknownnspots makig it on he charactwr ma
PRAISE THE OMNIFONT
Please make an HD version 1 brick=0.5 pixels
Just looked at pixel view, and I am amazed at your patience. wow.
The Japanese part of this font is pretty bad.
All the letters with ゛are unreadable, especially ばぱ vs ぼぽ. こつみゆらりるろゐゔエキコスツヌヒモヤ look unbalanced. Halfwidth キ's crossbars look detached. Halfwidth ホ looks like 木 which is a completely different letter.
I'm triyng to make an HD version of the font
I never thought I would see a font that had this many glyphs in it.
I think you've done just about every single one that FontStruct supports.
Umbreon has just beat you! Also, there are 3 fonts that have...
14000 glyphs?!?!?!?!
YOU HAVE TO BEAT THEM!!!!!!!!
What are those 3?
Well planned and constructed, 7x12 allows attractive additions yet maintains clear text. Ignore that weird 'hidden' "14k-glyphs competition". Continue your quality fonts, creativity and excellence;
Hidden glyph fonts are useful for hiding things... N8
xXx XBox Gamer B1 Password, B1 Password Squared and B1 Password Stars. Also, these fonts, Doughnut and Password are the only fonts that have more characters than this font.
A true pixel font 7:12Serif shows typographic understanding, skill, patience, solutions.The +8200 glyphs are legible, make it THE top useful worthy font. 1unique brick repeated in +14k spaces won't.
@ xBoxGamer: I didn't say glyphs to hide things. An 'invisible=hidden competition' = not organised by FontStruct. I note people who think that filling the most glyph spaces with some brick is worthy of pride and better than a well planned painstakingly crafted font (here: of 8200+ glyphs). To me it's an insult when I see indicated that fonts of 14k glyphs should be emulated. One FontStruction of 1-brick in 14k+ glyph spaces might have a practical application but 2 or more of the same are vastly unnecessary. They are entirely unacceptable and useless as a 'standard' to measure quality or useability of other members' FontStructive typographic output by.
@nightpegasus: Amen.
i tried to comment but it didn't quite get through (at least it doesn't show up on my computer)
Anyways, you've been pushed into 7th place, and need to get to 14765 glyphs ASAP.
Does the first of these 3 comments show up for you?
[redundant comment] just need to stop that bug again
[IMPORTANT] The rest of these comments will show up in bold-italic. Use alternate methods for emphasis.
Trying to stop it... lorem ipsum
If anyone can stop the bold-italic bug, then I will give this fontstruction a 5/5 instantly.
ImmaPooh, don't you mean 7/12 instead of 5/5 ?? ;) :D
Yo CMunk, I'm making a font based heavily off 7:6 Serif called Pixels. I finished Basic Latin and Latin-1 Supplement, and I'm getting near completion for Latin Extended-A. Wish me luck...
I finished Latin Extended-A
Looks like that bug is fixed.
Current standings:
Brynda, 1st: B1 Password series, 14765 each
Hundidosplodo, 2nd: Doughnut, 14527
Greenstar, 3rd: GS Unicode, 13137
minidonut, 4th: Password, 12462
CMunk, 5th at 8260
@ImmaPooh: any regular competition follows some rules and criteria for the sake of the objective comparison, even informally. I mean (and second nightpegasus), you may not compare the designs that are based on a single glyph (3/5 from your list, yours included), and the ones that fontstruct all of them! Claiming that e.g. 8260 glyphs would represent the same effort as 1 glyph (multiplied the times you want, 14765 in your case), is quite an unserious statement, to say the least, if not it shows a certain jealousy. The clear fact is that CMunk -painstalkingly- fontstructed 8260 times more in his "7:12 Serif" than you did in your tripled "B1 Password" (I don't say your -incomparably shorter- work is useless, though). Now about the strict record of the maximum number of characters, IMHO, FontStruct might not the right tool to do so (i.e. you may want to change of playground and try the professional solutions that our sponsors showcase).
---
@CMunk: I am glad you kept the pixel style in this font, unlike Greenstar967's "GS Unicode" lately (which was strictly 5-px of width). So, I assume you get the undisputed and related FontStruct record in low-res pixel(?). [Several very low-res pixel designs are worth the quick look, too.]
@Brynda1/xBox_/ImmaPooh: « FontStruct is not currently suitable for building fonts with humongous character sets » (FAQ).
And you must have noticed that this kind of huge fontstructions have heavy side-effects (server and page delays/failures…). FontStruct is a lightweight online tool, after all.
@ImmaPooh/xXx XBox Gamer/ArrowUP/CMunk…: "GS Unicode" seems #1, again (13137 pixel glyphs back). IMO, none of the both fontstructers (Greenstar967 & CMunk) wished this competition, though.
@ImmaPooh, xBox, ArrowUP, CMunk, etc. Greenstar967 here, @dpla is correct. I never intended this to be a competition; I had some free-time and decided to make a multi-lingual font to help people. At first it had a few hundred characters for basic languages, but soon I had the goal of creating every character available. It was never a competition, though. :)
On thing: It would be BEAUTIFUL with the W crossing in the center, but it would be my thing so no.
Great font!
... 8THOUSAND glyphs???!!! How???!!!
You've inspired me to make a font similar to yours, in fact, I'm almost done with Latin Ext-B. Eventually I'll get the font published so the world can see Pixels. inf^inf inf times/10
all i can say is
HOLY SH*T DIS GOOD
Superb!
100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 years in this font??????
Wow! This font is truly awesome! mare than 8000 glyphs!!
Awesome job!
This font is SO amazing, 8000+ glyphs!? That's insanely AWESOME! 10/10! Conclusion: I'M. GONNA. BEAT. YOU.
It also INSPIRED me to make my own font! Here's the link: fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/1850726/pixil-serif-1
Sorry, here's the ACTUAL link:
https://fontstruct.com/fontstructions/show/1850726/pixil-serif-1
You have competition: Pixel Sans is already at 3701, and is not far from beating my previous best, 5x7 Type 2 with 3926 glyphs.
Uhhhhh......Really?
:O
This is great! Not to be rude but your アandァ look a but off
Okay how did you even get Kanji to work??! I thought you couldn't do that
Holy crow, this is insane.
OMG R U GOD??
Hmmmm, a font with 65374 glyphs?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? (a non-font)
The amount of glyphs this has is unheard of, i'm more than just impressed by how you replicated every single unicode character in this pixel format.
You should add more!
When I enabled Unicode Letter Sets, there are now much more characters!
How long did this font take CMunk?
Unicopixel is beating you 💀💀💀
@iOs Type: Did it a top pick?
I made a font that beats off this font, GreenStar Unicode, and Ari-W9500.
This font has the most glyphs in fontstruct lol
EIGHT THOUSAND CHARACTERS!?
i have published expanded and condensed forms of every style (excl. 7:12 Serif "Condesed" [mispelling])
THE � IS THERE TOO
You even got the �, I never thought I'd see a font with a symbol for �
Even the dingbats too, where do you find those
suggestion, make the hiragana small yu ゅ more legible
Nice. It looks like my Unicode font.
the eth needs to be improved
most glyphs staff pick font
holy
The ❓︎, ✅︎, ❗︎, ❕︎, ❔︎, ✊︎, ︎✋, and ✌︎ looks cool! I like the look of this font!
How we can 10000 glyphs? (FONTSTRUCT EDITOR WILL BE MAKE SLOWER)
Reach this font full unicode?
WOW! SO COOL! MANY CHARACTERS!!!
