By the way that is what I did...(Obv the overall character width gets shorter if I decrease the widths on line.)

Edit: Maybe I should of compensated for that...

Aweshum!

I'll get on with the rest of the keys later = p. (not looking forward to writing "Page up" and "Page Down"...).

Sorry if this has already been answered, but how close is this to coming to fruition?

JesuswasaZombie · « **Reply #125 on:** Fri, 06 January 2012, 23:12:09 »

Hazleluff is working on the legends for the keys. When I have an estimate on the price per kit I'll post it in the OP and tally up the names and see if it is doable for a somewhat reasonable price.

Hazle: Did Melissa and/or cycloverid get back to you about the path vs. area SVG approach?

jellowiggler · « **Reply #127 on:** Sat, 07 January 2012, 00:18:45 »

Interested.

Cycloverid never got back to me. And I asked OP to ask melissa since hes in charge of this buy. = / Also want to check with OP if we're remaking the Moogle kit parts as well (They look close, and I don't think I can make it any better (The lines are thin)).

(I gotta take a break from making the SVGs, I've got 2 courswork due next friday)

Those look awesome Hazeluff! Is the 'M' thicker than the rest though?

If the price ends up remotely reasonable, count me in for a set.

Good catch. I had made it thinner before I redid all the other keys. Will fix it on my end (won't be posting up a update till I finish a nother bunch of keys).

Thanks

Would you mind if I posted it at Deskthority? Those guys might have some good insight.

I don't know why you need to ask.

Beautiful Photo.

I've noticed that:

-The arch in the A is too high
-The Leg of K is no far out enough
-Quotation marks are too thick
-slash needs to be slightly more angled(?)
-Question mark is too thick
- signs are too thick
-Comma needs a slighly longer thingy ( I have no idea what that bit is called? a tail?)

Did you scan the keyboard, cos it certainly looks like it >< cos thats perfect cos we don't get parallax error.

Not R3. Ugly.

What did R3 look like?

I like the big, centered font, but the all-capital, bizarrely variable-width modifiers and such look bad. Look at Control and Backspace. wtf?

Reptile · « **Reply #141 on:** Mon, 09 January 2012, 15:50:55 »

I still don't understand why it is so hard to get replica cherry font/symbols. I believe sixty on deskthority said he even had the real font but cannot share?

This bugs and baffles me at the same time lol

JesuswasaZombie · « **Reply #142 on:** Mon, 09 January 2012, 15:58:05 »

I saw that post by Sixty as well and am not sure what he meant. Perhaps some sort of copyright issue?

*sigh*

We should start a poll to convince Cherry to sell us new 2-shot sets (with center-stemmed modifiers and capslock of course).

I understand copyright issues but cmon no one has sourced it? Even if you changed one small thing you could get past that :evil:

Maybe, technically. You have to convince SP though. : /

hazeluff · « **Reply #147 on:** Tue, 10 January 2012, 08:27:26 »

Anyway,

OP (I call him OP cos I can't remember his name correctly) has spoken with Melissa about making the font. Unfortunately it has to be a centerline for the font (i.e. Single thickness for the font). This means we won't get as much detail (and I have to "redraw" them).

What font is it, commercial licenses aren't usually that expensive...

hashbaz · « **Reply #149 on:** Tue, 10 January 2012, 11:31:09 »

It's a custom font, owned by Cherry.
