LINE: Lowercase Scripts
alt.ascii-art
· 1 message · 30 May 1994
Here is the final version of all the lowercase script letters. For
ease of use, I have regrouped all the regular letters in one set
and all the letters that would follow 'b', 'o', 'v' or 'w' in
another set. I have also included a "space" after the 'z'. It may
never be used for screen words but could be handy for printed
material.
Also note that since FIGLET cannot handle such a font you will have
to create your words by hand. This is relatively easy when your
word processor has a block copy function. Nonetheless, in order to
simplify the process as much as possible I have included horizontal
and vertical guidelines.
When you copy a letter from this font take along with it the two
horizontal guidelines (top and bottom) while excluding the vertical
guidelines. Then, to connect letters together just keep connecting
the top guidelines. The letters will align automatically.
At times, you will have to delete a portion of the area between two
letters in order for them to connect properly (manual kerning). In
other cases you may have to add an '8' to fill the gap between the
two letters. In any case, always leave a minimum of two spaces
between the letters (except where they actually touch). This
appears to give the best results.
Feel free to experiment with it and send me your comments if you
have any. Have fun.
