@zx3 You said it, pro'.

@Owlor Very nifty! Kudos for getting "messy" in a bitmap grid – oddly enough, that's super hard for me to do.

It's bad enough that they stopped carrying weed from one of the few minority-owned farms in Seattle. Now they have one of those accursed "ring" people-trackers at the door and they told me to take my mask off and stare at it before being let in. I am not going back to that shop.

Dockside Cannabis in Shoreline, WA, by the way.

@Owlor I encourage it!

Also, I may as well show off. *grin*

All right, it's not exactly a lie, but it invites the question, "Valued at what?" I know it's non-zero, since their website doesn't let me turn off advertising emails (savings opportunities!) and it shows ads for Experian credit monitoring so I'm worth at least some ad revenue.

<sarcasm> Gee, if they're having to erode customer trust just to get some extra cash on the side, the health insurance industry but be really struggling to stay profitable. </sarcasm>

My "health" insurance provider knows my name, so when they send me an e-mail that starts with "Dear Valued Customer," I know they are lying.

@xinjinmeng @Owlor I've used FontForge for several projects. Symbol and "alien" fonts for puzzle events, fonts to simulate old dot-matrix type, Cleaning up FontStruct exports, especially since (unless they've fixed it in the last half-year) the way FontStruct chooses vertical metrics is kinda crap. Also, I once used it to replace the titling numerals in a font with its existing-in-the-same-font-but-utterly-unused "old-style" set. (Roboto Serif, for the Rainfurrest cyberpunk-themed year.) Your description of the software is spot-on! As in, it's unstable enough that I have to draw everything in a different program then import it, 'cause drawing in FontForge (Windows build) is a guaranteed crash.

I used Calligraphr (or similar?) once forever ago and I've used the results in a couple projects, but I've made some changes to how I write, so it might be worth another go....

@mawr Yaaaaaaaay! I hope this comes through for you. :)

@Owlor I cut my teeth on bitmap fonts, which are way easier to get to an acceptably usable and decent-looking state. (For those of us who like bitmap fonts, anyhow.)

Has anyone introduced you to FontStruct yet? https://fontstruct.com/ – build vector fonts like Lego, and not just square ones.

@Owlor You're not alone. Heck, I've _made_ fonts and there's a lot that's still super confusing!

@KinkyTurtle izponee!
