Excellent!
Who else here is still pining for a toggle button to turn on/off the 1 px stroke that appears on fontstruct preview samples above a certain size? I find it to be unfortunately deceptive. It improves certain designs in a way they simply cannot mimic out of the box, while others have their previews hobbled by it.
I know the decision itself was a compromise to deal with the hairline gaps that would otherwise sometimes appear between abutting bricks scaled to certain sizes in the preview windows. And I know this issue is somewhere on the roadmap...I will simply dream both that font mortar becomes a display subroutine (possibly requiring a gigantic cache file, I know) and that this “fattening up of the fragile details with an outline stroke” becomes a definable aspect of the font mortar pipeline. A new filter, in fontstruct parlance.
Again, it’s probably already under consideration, but what a boundary-expanding (and perhaps also cutting edge?) feature that will be?
Pardon the puns ;) And great font, Frodo. This one deserves an extended character set for multi-lingual support. I’ve been wondering if a similar treatment would yield good results for Haldir. Not as straight-forward, but could be cool!
Oh, sorry for the unintentional italic attack :/
