Hi all
Remember I was asking for volunteers to help create fonts based on Gary
Chalk's labels from the first few colour maps of the LW series? Well,
I've been a bit busy recently dealing with the aftermath of a hard drive
failure...
But I've just re-discovered some work I did for the Book 8 map and I'm
placing it on the PA site in the hope that someone more skilled than I
can complete the job.
About two months ago I was working on creating separate images for each
letter/character from the map for Book 8. This was based on the hi-res
greyscale maps I uploaded last year. I scaled each character to be the
same basic size, cleaned them up, then cropped each one out as a
separate PNG image (and then converted each to SVG as well for good
measure). I was hoping that someone who has good font software and knows
what they're doing can take this and use it as the basis for a font. I
also hope that I've saved someone some work by doing this, but I
honestly don't know the workflow...

Included are A-Z and a-z, though only five numerals (0, 1, 2, 5, 7), and
several other characters (parentheses, period, apostrophe, hyphen).
If this is of any use, I can also take a look at some of the other maps,
though it's a bit of a slow process.
