Thank you all! I'm testing it right now.
@ theterrible: The caps are a challenge, maybe I'll do numbers first. I like your Struktur very much, you were my motivation to start.

This is really well done, and it captures the pen quite well!

Thanks wolfkrim. Hey, I noticed that you changed the lowercase s--I sure hope you leave the old one in there as an alternate. That was my favorite glyph!

wolfkrim, what is this "kerning trick" you are speaking of? As far as I can find FontStruct doesn't let you change the gap width between letters.
And this font is really great.

Yey! You've added some great caps now. It just keeps getting better!

This is absolutely amazing. I can't beleive that it's created using this tool!

Thank you all!
@ Lemming: There is no kerning, you're right. But if you move letters like capital f and j left of the vertical guideline, they fit in better, at least in the preview.

I prefer the bold blackletter script over the ornate thin lettering. Good job. I look forward to using it, thanks!
