dotted zero variant #28

Open effinsky opened 11 months ago

effinsky commented 11 months ago

I really dig this font. It's peculiar, and I dig it. I'm not a big fan of the way zero looks. I wonder if we could get a dotted zero variant. I could get to tinkering with it, but I'm no good at it, really.

Thanks for the font!

I'm in for dotter zero :D But it looks like the font is complete.

meaning it's not been patched up in a long time?

Indeed, I consider the font complete (as in "it really works for me as it is"). However, feel free to open FontForge, or any other editor of your choice, and play with it!

To get a dotted zero, you could just combine the uppercase "O" letter (U+004F) and the middle dot character (U+00B7), copy-pasting both into the new zero. Then, just adjust sizing, spacing, and whatnot.

I just made a quick-and-dirty test, take a look:

ok cool thanks :) I'm glad you don't mind. I'd like the author to have the definitive say, regardless of license.
