Blackletter Font, I tried to mimic a European "Textur" of about 1470 A.D.

Great!

Comment by hideyor 9th april 2008

I'm really digging this.

Comment by bent hamm 10th april 2008

Thank you all! I'm testing it right now.
@ theterrible: The caps are a challenge, maybe I'll do numbers first. I like your Struktur very much, you were my motivation to start.

Comment by wolfkrim 10th april 2008

This is really well done, and it captures the pen quite well!

I love classical style !

Comment by momo-0 11th april 2008

I've added some ligatures and stuff. A lot of work still to be done ...

Comment by wolfkrim 11th april 2008

Thanks wolfkrim. Hey, I noticed that you changed the lowercase s--I sure hope you leave the old one in there as an alternate. That was my favorite glyph!

You've earned yourself a 10, my friend.

Thanks. I finally discovered the "kerning trick".

thats good !

Comment by danielsantiago 29th april 2008

wolfkrim, what is this "kerning trick" you are speaking of? As far as I can find FontStruct doesn't let you change the gap width between letters.
And this font is really great.

Comment by Lemming 9th may 2008

Yey! You've added some great caps now. It just keeps getting better!

Comment by spittingcat 9th may 2008

This is absolutely amazing. I can't beleive that it's created using this tool!

Comment by seeminglee 10th may 2008

Thank you all!
@ Lemming: There is no kerning, you're right. But if you move letters like capital f and j left of the vertical guideline, they fit in better, at least in the preview.
