FONTS/JOBS/RESEARCH: DEWLine-2 In Progress

[dewline]

This is a thing I've been working on again today.



I'm still trying to make up my mind about upgrading from the software I've been using for this, Typetool 3, to FontLab 7. The makers of the software have a sale running until...midnight tonight, I guess?

Yes, this is one hobby among many for me right now...and I'm uncomfortable about closing this door.

I would dearly love a keyboard with a complete diacritical set as I work in three languages (5 if you include Old Norse and Old English) and constantly flipping keyboard sets is a real pain.

I'd imagine that a lot of people would like a keyboard that could mix and match Latin letters with diacritics at need or whim these days. I could design the look of it, I suppose, but programming the thing is so far beyond me...

(Additionally, I just looked at "Diacritics" and "Zalgo text" over on Wikipedia. I did NOT know how many options there now are for diacritics!)

I do try to listen to what I would regret were I to (not) do it and be guided accordingly.
