I also got good results using Chronicle Text Document at 12 point in Microsoft Paint. The font can produce strange results if used in Microsoft Word with the justification option set, yet used in Microsoft WordPad (I tried 12 point, 18 point, 24 point, 36 point) good effects can be produced.
The result is Chronicle Text Document version 0.26, being derived from a copy of Chronicle Text version 0.26. I thought it would be interesting to try to build this effect into a font.
Letters such as p crossed over the line below it. I saw a television programme which showed a medieval manuscript where the rows of letters were separated by horizontal lines. It is intended that the Chronicle Text Sublozenge font is not used on its own: if it were desired to use the font on its own the correct result would be to use the Chronicle Text font instead. The intention is that the Chronicle Text Sublozenge font is used for two-colour displays in conjunction with the Chronicle Text Lozenge font. The Chronicle Text Sublozenge font is produced from a copy of the Chronicle Text Lozenge font by deleting the counterclockwise contours which form the lozenges in the Chronicle Text Lozenge font. Many of the glyphs are identical to those in Chronicle Text, yet a few, such as s and z for example, are different. The Chronicle Text Sublozenge font is a variation on the Chronicle Text Lozenge font. The Chronicle Text Lozenge font is a variation on the Chronicle Text font. The ligature glyphs co and ppe in outline3.PDF from the Unicode Private Use Area of the fonts are included in outline3.PDF as curves graphics produced in DrawPlus 7.09 after copying and pasting from Microsoft Word 97.Ĭhronicle Text Lozenge font and Chronicle Text Sublozenge font. Please note that whereas outline.PDF and outline2.PDF were produced using Serif PagePlus 9.04, outline3.PDF was produced using Microsoft Word 97, Serif DrawPlus 7.09 and Serif PagePlus 9.04. The intention is that Chronicle Text Outline is used for two-colour displays in conjunction with Chronicle Text.ĬHRONTXO.TTF outline.PDF outline2.PDF outline3.PDF This font is a variation on the Chronicle Text font. The font also includes some ligature glyphs encoded within the Private Use Area. It is rather specialist research and some people do not agree with the concept of using Unicode codepoints for such things, yet I hope that some readers might find the documents interesting. I am still going through them in detail, yet I have made them available on the web at the following place, partly to publish the information and partly so that they are on the web as well as on this PC. However, recently, I received an email that a particular forum about digital television at the webspace was going to close in a few days time from then, so I had a look through my old postings there and amongst them I found various files. Until recently I thought that I had either lost many of the meanings or that they were only available upon a presently inaccessible part of an old hard disc.
#FONT GLYPHS PAINTSHOP PRO CODE#
For example, display all subsequent characters in red unless another colour code were detected, whereupon that would be the new colour.
#FONT GLYPHS PAINTSHOP PRO SOFTWARE#
That is, the software of the application package would detect the character code and then do something other than display a glyph. Yet many of the others are intended to be used as authoring-time glyphs for commands to application packages. Some, such as those from U+E510 to U+E528 are just intended as designs. Some of them are for glyphs for ligatures, some are for chess pieces and some are for expressing simple percussion music and so on. The Quest text font contains many glyphs in the Private Use Area. Supplementary note about the Quest text font. Many glyphs for ligatures are encoded in the Private Use Area. It also contains many characters encoded in the Unicode Private Use Area.
This Unicode encoded font now includes the characters needed for Old English, Welsh, Latvian and Esperanto.
