Each letter and number is composed of dits and dahs according to how you write them in morse code. the additional symbols were hard to get into the shape but I tried.

This is Morse code, with the proper spacings. Letters in a word are 3 dots apart, words are 7 dots apart, etcetera.

The original Morse code was created for Samuel F.B. Morse's electric telegraph in the early 1840s, but spread to radio communications (and beyond) beginning in the 1890s. (It is now known as American Morse code, and rarely used.) International Morse code was created by Friedrich Clemens Gerke in 1848, and standardized at the International Telegraphy congress (Paris) in 1865.
Other current Morse Code FontStructions have encountered word- and letter-spacing issues, and I tried to work around this by stacking the dots and dashes vertically. The result reminds me a bit of Mayan numerals, but hey, as long as it still reads as Morse... I wonder what the ITU would say about this? One thing's for sure... it saves a lot of horizontal space.
In each character, the dots and dashes read from top to bottom rather than from left to right. Punctuation has the longest series of dots and dashes in International Morse Code (six), so this number determined my cap height. :-) The shorter characters all hang from this imaginary line.
Missing characters: Please note that the !, & and $ symbols are not defined within the ITU recommendations for International Morse code, so they are not part of this typeface. On the other hand, the @ symbol was approved for use in 2004, so I've also included the underscore sign I found at two different online sources. (The underscore symbol has not been formally approved by the ITU, but it could come in handy if you have to transmit an e-mail address using Morse code!)
Other characters: As with my two Braille FontStructions, the uppercase and lowercase versions of each character are the same. Also, the opening and closing parentheses share the same symbol, which will also show up if you type brackets instead of parentheses. Last but not least, there are a very few diacritics included (the ones I was able to verify).

An accurate Morse code alphabet, I've checked it with multiple sources. It was made for myself but I'm sure it would be great for someone else learning. It has the correct spacing between letters, dots and dashes, and has most of the common special characters, The only problem is spacing between words.
NOTE: The little thing in the top left hand corner at the start of each letter is there so the spacing works correctly, at the moment it works fine on the website but when downloaded, it didn't space the individual letters as they should have been, this will probably be temporary, but its not even noticeable in the downloaded version anyway.
Enjoy :)
