update v1.0 (3·III·26): added platinum, gold and mercury

Comment by Luca Prieto Bermûdez (elliqvl) Tue, 3rd march

Pt is Platinum, not Silver.

This project is an example of insufficient consideration of complexity. The creator(s) should have started with the longest names and numbers in mind. Now, it looks like a mess with different sizes and some names in condensed letters. The atomic number should be at the top. The atomic weight is less important; it could be in smaller print at the bottom.

Since it is a clone, you have the liberty to change things as you wish. I would add another line at the bottom: one for the name and one for the weight.

The pixel font for the names looks like a cheap version of early mobile phone typography: no descenders, no kerning. We have better options now, don't we?

Hello everyone, those who created this font might not understand when I ask: why did you create it? Periodic tables of the chemical elements are plentiful and far more detailed than this attempt. How can you use yours? As @Frodo7 rightly pointed out, it's quite chaotic, like wasting energy on things that are barely useful (aside from personal satisfaction, of course), IMHO.

Comment by elmoyenique Wed, 4th march

@Frodo & @elmoyenique I agree. The Oganesson (the highest atomic number on the periodic table, beacause the atomic number is 118). The location is Period 7, Group 18. And the lowest is the Hydrogen, with just 1. It is located in the top left corner, heading Group 1 (alkali metals, although it is a non-metal) and Period 1. But also we can put the atomic weight as last letters in the fontstruction. I going make one with the some more information and of Frodo7, we can also add more numbers from the periodic table; they are insufficient.

@newcurvenbig

--> oh whoops lol

@frodo7

--> the numbers aren't that of a problem. i may change the pixel font tho

@elmo

--> tell that to Kiên Trung, i'm just finishing his font cuz i don't like incompleteness (which is personal satisfaction IF i'm the only one that hates incompleteness)

@typomanfoundry

--> thanks for the reminder 

--> we cannot detach the atomic weights from the characters

--> "we can also add more numbers from the periodic table; they are insufficient." what does that mean??????

Mean that are some numbers of the table like Radio that isn't have this font. This info of the radio is: Radium (Ra) is a metallic chemical element, extremely radioactive, with atomic number 88 and located in Group 2 (alkaline earth metals) of the periodic table. Discovered by Marie and Pierre Curie in 1898, it is silvery-white, oxidizes rapidly in air, and is primarily used in nuclear medicine for cancer treatments. Anyways, you should see the periodic table and see what numbers there isn't here.

*radium

thanks for the reminder, also read the godddamn description (the table already shows which ones are missing)

update v1.1 (5·III·26): added thallium and lead

1/9 of the way there!!!

update v.1.1.1 (27·III·26): added lutetium

idk if this'll be updated as frequently as before, everything is piling up because i just want to do more things...
