What elegant solutions to a plethora of problems! And the new make composite function! Rant, rave! I knocked this lower case out in about an hour.
And the wag at the back said "it shows"...

I thought you were going to your first Alien experimental font. But your sample shows something completely different than the fontviewer.

@Rob Meek : It seems there is a problem in the restitution of fonts using the new possibililities, ROB.

Despite that, Intaglio, I think you could use this accident to considere the intrusion in more queer and experimental fonts, even if I know it is not your cup of tea.

Ahem. Early adopter disease. See, immorality doesn't pay. Glitch with the aforesaid make composite function, obviously.
Dare I edit the file? I guess I can open it, have a hasty look round and close without saving.
@neurone error: ha! it looks like one of yours! Remarkable how still-legible it is.

Yup. All the stacks and transforms are gone, baby. Bummer. Oh well, at least I didn't spend a weekend on it...

I'll turn that into a bow of apology :-( I'm looking into it. Any ideas about how or when this happened? Here's the hotline.

I had a similar problem with my Pixel Pandemonium. Two stacked bricks just showed up empty after saving and quitting the fontstructor. Interestingly it was only two of them... No idea what was the criterium why exactly these two disappeared.

I've been sharing my thoughts with Mr Meek on this. I suspect what happened with my file was I ended up with more than one transform in some of the glyphs. Maybe the file had a hernia. For example the d-glyph is a horizontal flip of the b-glyph. (See, I knew this was too easy...} Trouble is, most of the drop-out bricks are make-composites, and some of them may have ended up being transformed twice or even more.

For the time being, I'd recommend going easy on the flipping and compositing, until this glitch gets sorted. If a glyph contains stacks that have also been rotated, maybe it's tempting fate to then flip the whole glyph as well. Or it might have nothing to do with it. Clear as mud.

The problem was with cloning. The clone took all the composite bricks with it. Should be fixed now. I'll also be able to return this font to its original state from the clone.

i DOWNLOADED IT AND IT GAVE ME A THIRD VERSION? NOT YOUR SAMPLE, NOT THE ONE VISIBLE, BUT A THIRD ONE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT! I hoped i could get the one visible on the fontviewer before it vanished but I didn't, the third version I had is deseperately ugly !

VERY QUEER ALL THIS !

Comment by Abneurone Fluid Types 29th april 2010

From the sample, it looks like a neat design.

I also had a mysterious transformation on the font I am working on ... two separate brick stacks had been replaced with a square brick when I re-opened the 'struction. This was not a clone and had been saved earlier. I'll keep an eye on it and report to Mr M if it happens again.

Comment by p2pnut 29th april 2010

Thanks, Rob for restoring it. I'll approacvh the upper case with more caution...
@p2p: thanks. Some of it's a bit ugly at big sizes but the odd little distinctions greatly aid legibility at smaller sizes. If I had sufficient staying power I'd do it as a proper text font with a full character set. Shame about that.
I need a tame brickslave who'll churn out all the bricks Pharaoh isn't interested in.
