The problem
A face with only A to Z is usable by its author and nobody else. The moment an accented name appears, the text falls back to another font.
The work
Why the accents got drawn
Drawing A to Z is the easy half. What decides whether a face is usable by anyone else is the accents: how high the marks sit, how far they clear the letter, and whether they still hold on a capital.
Results
- 197 glyphs, including 94 accented characters across the Latin-1 range.
