Subject: [9fans] nice appearance to Times font with accented characters (in acme)?
Date: Mon, 28 Sep 2009 23:50:55 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <d50d7d460909282150m46014480l56623cb96463930e@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
My try (times/latin1.7a.font) could be improved. It does actually
display accented characters (from pelm/latin1.8) interspersed with
unaccented letters in the Times font. But it's a bit like a ransom
note, or the Cyrillic font I designed and poked into my C64 in middle
school: the baseline of the accented characters is a pixel or two
higher than the baseline of times letters. Is this about as good as I
can expect, or could anyone suggest a better composition?

I'd like to keep using Times since I think the letter-forms look
better than the default Lucida (there's no "bit" directory, so which
file actually defines the default euro.8.font plan9port-acme uses?),
but are not so small as palatino/latin1.6.font (7 & 8 get clipped).
