7/25/2023 0 Comments Edit glyph in fontforge![]() ![]() I used basically two softwares to create the font for Xiis: Inkscape, a vector graphics editor, and FontForge, an outline font editor. To view the description of Xiis, itself, along with a link to font file, check the document at. It actually became longer than I originally intended, but I believe it has the right amount of detail. It is a guide that will explain the general process I used to create Xiis and what each function do (specially about lookup tables, something I really suffered to understand how they work). This is not a tutorial, I would say, because it’s not (much) a step-by-step directions. So, to help other people that might try to create similar systems, I’ll try to describe my journey in this endeavor. If I was designing a standard alphabet, none of these troubles would happen to me, but, inspired by Hangul, I followed a different way. When I decided to make my own writing system (or a conscript, for short), I couldn’t tell how difficult it would be to actually develop a computer font for it. ![]() ¹ tried several releases, but I tested most with the latest release as well as the Jrelease.A PDF version of this guide can be found at Content The newly generated font now doesn't show the correct glyph. I'm unsure what these mean, but I tell FontForge to go ahead anyway, so I clicked Save.
