I've got a lot of work to do this week (32 pages of one book to letter/retouch, 34 of another, about 60 pages to proof and a font to build---yikes!) so I'm rather pleased that I found the time to do this at all.

This wasn't my first idea, but this one was the fastest to execute. I'm rather sad that it came out looking a bit like a microwaved potato.

Anybody out there know how to generate ttf's in Fontlab? The "six family names" thing is really confusing me.

I'm not so thrilled about how it came out. But I'm pretty amazed that I got it done at all!
Picking colors on the computer give me trouble. Ask me to mix any color for you in Liquitex, but damned if I can pick the colors I want on Illustrator. I'm also working on an uncalibrated LCD monitor. If anybody out there have advice on calibration, I'd be much obliged.
