Here's the w I see when I look at the bitmap:tepples wrote:Sketch out the curves you see and I'll play with that.'w' (I feel like the bitmap version implies something curvy on the sides)
Neither firefox, abiword, nor gimp obey that. rxvt-unicode does honor C-S-261, though.Ctrl+Shift+U 2 6 1 Enter
But in the previews you give of the bitmap form of Base Seven, you don't use the closed g.Here's the bitmap glyph I was trying to represent
I was pointing out how the f's hook extends so far into the next letter that the place where it touched the dot of the i, there was this little chasm. I was hoping for a more deliberate touching there.That's one of the problems with working with quantized advance widths. If I widened 'fi' by one pixel, it would appear no different from fi with no ligature.the 'fi' ligature's kerning is substantially tighter than other letter pairings
