RiordonFancy v4

Sample of the font

Here’s RiordonFancy version 4.0.  Rio has added the euro sign (someone should have told us it was missing!), the cent sign, a few dingbats (like the snowman), and I’ve added a fontlog and tidied the spacing a little.  I hope this goes far enough to clear up the problems raised in Fedora bug 478570.  If not, let me know.  If anyone wants characters it doesn’t cover, let us know too. (Is anyone using it for Icelandic out there?  and I suppose we could use this as an educational project to learn about the Cyrillic or Greek alphabets…)

I’m keeping track of some of the interesting places it’s turning up.  The oddest one so far is a sign-maker for EBay.  Let us know if you find anywhere else (or use it yourself somewhere interesting!)

  1. Well, it _would _ be fun if we could have a Hiragana and/or Katakana version of the font :) Kanji is out of the question of course, but you could do just a few characters as an educational thing, showing how there are some very different ways of writing out there.

  2. Some issues with using it for Danish text:
    – Lowercase å (aring) is lacking the ring
    – Uppercase Å (Aring) has a weird line that doesn’t really look like a ring, but more like it might be Ä?
    – Uppercase Æ is missing
    – Uppercase Ø (Oslash) is missing the slash
