dec/type340.yaff - missing K #30

Closed dan-jc-h closed 1 year ago

dan-jc-h commented 1 year ago

This font seems to have lost its K. Missing in both the yaff and png, so maybe a glitch in the source that it came from.

(no biggie for me, just browsing and probably won't use this font... just letting you know)

Good spot, thanks!

The site I got this from has the same issue, however the ultimate source is a datasheet that can be found here: http://bitsavers.org/pdf/dec/graphics/7-13_340_Display_Programming_Manual.pdf

I'll fix the glyphs based on this sheet. The 'A' is faulty as well and there also seems to be a non-standard character encoding.

OMG... that is a thing of beauty... When I saw DEC 340 I assumed VT340.

I don't see any dates in that manual other than a couple of references to other documents printed in mid-late 1964. Positively ancient technology. (Almost as old as me...)

Thank you - looks like you've tidied this up. I'll leave it for you to close when you are happy with it.
