Include images in repo & cormorant glyph #4

From https://www.behance.net/gallery/28579883/Cormorant-an-open-source-display-font-family

The cormorant photograph used in the title bar was taken by JJ Harrison and shared under a Creative Commons license on Wikipedia. The goldfinch and kingfisher photographs are my own.

I suggest including these images in the repo; you can inline them in the readme, and have the page's site on the gh-pages branch

The cormorant glyph below is part of the Cormorant typeface; it is encoded as the Han Chinese glyph 鵁 («the fishing cormorant», Unicode U+9D41).

I don't think this is a good idea, U+9D41 should be 鵁 and the cormorant glyph should either have a PUA encoding or a GSUB feature so that writing cormorantlogo makes it appear (or both)

I think the GSUB feature is as bad as hijacking a Chinese character. If it were an icon font it might be palatable, but not for a text font.

What if I made it a stylistic alternate of the fleuron, and made it the default in one of the spin-offs (such as the Infant)?

CatharsisFonts commented 9 years ago

Alright, I moved the cormorant to a stylistic alt of floralHeart, which is promoted to the default in Cormorant Infant. I'll move to gh-pages at some point. It sounds like a hassle to me, but maybe it's just a few clicks?

@CatharsisFonts And to clearify, “鵁” is not “Cormorant” either. “鵁” is in Ardeidae, while Cormorants (鸬鹚, 鵜 or 鸕) are Phalacrocoracidae.
