Thanks! I never believed you would mind. I just thought it would be polite to ask since you put a tonne of work into it. ;)

I like the 4! Be sure to keep us informed when you update the font... Although I do check for a new version once a week. :D

Available on heroscribe.org is the 0.4 version of the font, including numbers and some bug fixes.

Derfel, I can't thank you enough for this new font. Every time I browse through the Ye Olde Inn site the font is so clean, clear and presentable it enhances the look of the site considerably! :D

I'm quite happy with the result too!
The one thing I feel missing is the spacing between letters, though (look at the uppercase T, for instance): that's something I should work on.
Again thanks for using it, that's the best way to thank me.
Cheers

So, I've been working on some extra characters from other languages, here's how they look:

Any thought?

Thanks drathe!
By the way, I've found out about this wonderful website, if you list me every language we need I'll create those special chars and release the updated font.
Cheers

Now that's a cool Website! Okay, here's the list I know of thus far:

  • Dansk/Danish
  • Deutsch/German
  • Español/Spanish
  • Français/French
  • Italiano/Italian
  • Nederlands/Dutch
  • Português/Portuguese
  • Suomi/Finnish
  • Svenska/Swedish

There's also ελληνικά/Greek and 日本語/Japanese, but they have far too many special characters to bother with. ;)

Thanks drathe, fast as hell.
Yes, I'm afraid I'll have to give up on Greek and Japanese chars.

EDIT
According to that website, here's a list of the missing chars:
æ, ß, ¿, ¡, ë, ï, î, ô, œ, û, ÿ, ¢, £, ¥

I'm working on them now, when ready I'll release the font.

2nd EDIT
Ok, here's what I've got:

Image

Do you think they fit in HeroQuest style?
If those are ok with you, I'll update the font.

3rd EDIT
Also, drathe, could I ask you to move this topic to the HeroQuest forum? If you think it's more appropriate, of course.
Cheers
