My preorder is scheduled to be delivered today. I will make some high-res scans and post them here as soon as I can.

[ghost]

Here are the new things - let me know if I missed any.

[corsairjoe]

Let me know if this is ok. I can try to do some other ones, too.

[geordanr]

Looks good!

[ghost]

Excellent!

[ScottKarch]

good scans. I still can't figure out what I'm missing in the glyphs I've created. They work for some things and not others. I am planning on fixing them, but I'm not sure what's wrong with them. What apps do you guys use?

I maintain xwing-font-converter (https://github.com/kalhamaar/xwing-font-converter) a utility tool used to convert all font element to images

Hi Guys are you still working on this font?

I just managed to download fontforge, and was wondering if you are already implementing wave 12 and 13 (would be silly to do the same work twice)

[piffopi]

Here are the PNG scans of the missing ships. let me know how you want to proceed, and if these need to be transformed in a vector file. please specify the format, so i can provide the proper one on monday if needed :)

[ghost]

That gunboat looks great! The rest look a little... lumpy. :) Can you smooth out the lines any? It would improve their look and probably decrease their size as well. Thanks for doing this!

[piffopi]

Sure thing! I'll do it asap. The gunboat was done manually, the others automatically. Give me half an hour and you'll have them

Wow, that was fast! Thanks! I figured they were auto-conversions. High res scans of low-res images can only do so much.

[piffopi]

Yeah, also I don't have illustrator on my notebook - so I had to rely on photoshop.

[piffopi]

First three are here. Now i'm going back to aggressor, auzituck and the scurrg. just let me find decent scans

[piffopi]

W11 v2 the scans in the other thread allowed me to re-do this :) hope it helps. now, on to the other glyphs.

[piffopi]

bullseye!

[piffopi]

reload

[piffopi]

jam action

we should be ok now :) lemme know if you guys can integrate them in the fonts, or i'll try to do it

[piffopi]

sorry, forgot the frog 🗡

[FedoraMark]

Looking great!

[Owen-A]

Is anything else needed now we have the scans above? Happy to help fi it gets things moving.

[piffopi]

We need to compile and update the font.

My experience with fontforge is really limited, so is taking me an awful amount of time to scale properly the images.

in alternative, i can do it with another software but i'll have to recompile the whole font.

[Owen-A]

I am not an expert, just an enthusiastic user of the font, but if you want the images at a specific scale let me know the dimensions and format and i will try and assist

[piffopi]

thank you :) i'm proficient in Photoshop and Illustrator so there's no problem regarding that. My main issue is understanding what is the target dimension for this images. Does anybody know?

[voidstate]

Thank you for looking into this. I’m getting a lot of requests for the reload icon in particular but I haven’t got Illustrator any more.

[FedoraMark]

UPDATE JANUARY 13th: xwing-glyphs-update.zip

I'm using BirdFontNonCommercial and not FontForge, and I don't really know vector tools outside of Flash/Animate, but here's a quick and dirty update to the symbol fonts to include Reload Action (=), Bullseye (?), and Bullseye top separated (’ (right quote, & rsquo ;)). The reload action is a computer trace from the above png with some tweaks and the bullseye is (EDIT) based on the existing full-sized symbol.

It's a bit sloppy but if you don't need to blow up the glyphs it should work. Reload might not be positioned vertically in the best way, I eyeballed it based on other action glyphs. Also it's using the font I had my other changes in from #31.

Jam token and invert variant ignored for now since we have the JAM action icon and blank token/inverts. (Although the jam token is an octagon.)

[FedoraMark]

Updated zipped font file to fix sizing of the bullseye symbol (see previous comment for updated files).

[piffopi]

Thanks so much guys :)

[geordanr]

What are the actual codepoints of the new symbols?

[FedoraMark]

reload icon is EQUALS SIGN: https://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/003d/index.htm full bullseye is QUESTION MARK: http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/3f/index.htm separated bullseye is RIGHT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK: https://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/2019/index.htm

and from #31 left 'signor's roll' is LEFT SQUARE BRACKET: http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/005b/index.htm right 'signor's roll' is RIGHT SQUARE BRACKET: http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/005d/index.htm outline bullet is BULLET: http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/2022/index.htm

I'll try to do the ships in the next day or two, plus the change in #39

[geordanr]

Included in tag v1.0.27.

I named them "tallon loops" (tloop) in the CSS (based on your original post) but I can rename it. What's the source of that? Is that just for Dalan Oberos?

[FedoraMark]

Thanks, couldn’t remember how I named them compared to the unique Tallon Roll arrows we added for IG-88D.

And yes, currently just Dalan Oberos (and by extension Thweek mimicking Dalan).

[FedoraMark]

Oops, looks like I forgot to fix the Bullseye separated’s size when I edited the font. I’ll fix that up and re-post the font when I do the ships.

[FedoraMark]

Here's the updated Ships based on the glyphs above (and fixed the Y-position of the Auzituck, #39): xwing-ships-update.zip

Also updated the symbols font to fix the Bullseye Separated/Overlay: xwing-glyphs-update.zip

& – Alpha-class Attack Wing % – Sheathipede-class Shuttle (Phantom II) K (capital) – M12-L Kimogila Fighter Z (capital) – Resistance Bomber $ – TIE Silencer

Hopefully this works for everyone!

[geordanr]

Incorporated into v1.0.28.

I renamed the maneuver one to dalan-bank{left,right} to match the convention of ig88d maneuvers already in the font.

[ghost]

First, thanks to everyone who helped with this!

Second, a couple questions: 1) What all was done to the actual ttf files? one of them doubled in size since the previous version and the other tripled. 2) Re: dalan-bank - is there a symbol for this that is used in any actual FFG product or publication, or is this just a custom symbol based on the description that is on the card?

Thanks again everyone. And I am an at-least-one-of-everything for this game so when future releases come out, I can make and post high-res scans of any relevant parts again if it would be helpful.

[FedoraMark]

1. Could be the program that I'm using. It's a free one called BirdFontNonCommercial and not FontForge. I don't know much about font files and optimization, so if anyone can re-export the files as smaller please do.

2. The Dalan Bank is just a custom one based on the description; we did something similar for IG-88D's custom maneuver as well. See #31 for some info.

[ghost]

Ahh. Right on. Thanks for clarifying.

[haslo]

Just wanted to say "thank you" to all involved. You guys are awesome!
