[New FIGfont] Presenting Cygnet
alt.ascii-art
· 3 messages · 19 May 2006 - 20 May 2006
I made Swan last year and this year I did a smaller version of the same.
Naturally I'm calling it Cygnet (a cygnet is a baby swan)
I've also taken the time to upload both font's to the files section of my
website : http://files.ceejay.dk/
Anyways here is the font.
This is the first version of it BTW , it will likely need some tweaking.
Smushing still isn't perfect .. but the same can also be said for Swan.
Good smushing is HARD to do.

"Cygnet" - A figfont by CeeJay
A cygnet is a baby swan.
The font is named so because it's based on
the Swan font, only smaller.

Yes Markus is indeed to blame - I mailed him yesterday about it and he said he must have mixed up the mails, but both fonts will be on the Jave site when he gets home from holiday in a couple of weeks. >> I've also taken the time to upload both font's to the files section of my >> website : http://files.ceejay.dk/ > > Handy, thank you Yes, I thought it would be a good deal easier than cutting the font out and pasting it into a file. Particularly in view of the problem with posting the last time. I have since then fixed Thunderbird but have forgotten how I did it so I hope I won't have to reinstall anytime soon.

Feel free to post any suggestions for improvement and/or bugs Currently in version 0.10 the = sign is bugged (and probably more chars too) .. I'll look into that tonight or tomorrow as I'm attending a birthday in a few hours and I have to get ready.
