I wouldn't be surprised if those Leopold keys didn't come from Signature. Anybody read Korean? Notice the sprue mark is in the front like Signatures.

Yeah will we get sprue marks in the front again?

Oh, I thought they just lost a sandwitch in the controller or something. Sprues are ****ty. They should use a transporter to mold the keys!

Explain cool factor. Then it's just a simple algorithm:

All of the Leopold keys are Signature Plastics.
It even says so on the page: "Land of Production: USA"

For good measure, a spacebar. Don't think anyone wants this, but its my crude drawing of the G80-11900 (with winkeys):

@7bit: Die Maße zählen jeweils immer von dem äußeren Rand. Zeichnung ist natürlich in MS Paint gemacht da du dein secret vektor tool nicht geschickt hast!

As for the 1800: Measure a winkeyless version today, turns out they are the same as the other old cherry from full size boards.

Good call; VB can be pretty convincing. Although my code's not complete.

Code: [Select]

Public Function getNewWife()
Dim secondWife = new Wife()
secondWife.cook()
secondWife.clean()
secondWife.likesCherryBlues = true
secondWife.looksLikeTaeyeon = true
End Function

Are you 100% sure, SP makes all the keycaps for Leopold, inclding the space bar?

The graphic is great, but what about ESCAPE instead of ESC?

Just use the same font for ESCAPE you used for ESC. (was just too lazy to find the correct font)

Don't mind the green color! It will be a red key with white text or whatever color you all like ...

Vielleicht solllte der Text (relativ zur Grafik) zentriert sein? Ansonsten wenn sich der Text ausserhalb "des grids" der Grafik befindet, wird die Grafik bei der Herstellung ja kleiner (und daher ungenauer im molding?), da wir mehr Platz auf dem keycap benötigen... oder? Schwer zu erklären.

Version 4:

Version 5:

As you can see, in Version 5 the text is centered, but the escapee isn't!

I said all text centered, I know, but here I would prefer both text and figure being off-center:

Do you see how the text ends where the escapee has got his ellbow?

PS: It's just me.

PS/2: What about leaving the text away?

It doesn't say AWESOME on the Awesomeface...

I hope I got that right.

The text is too close to the head again!

x-Position in escape6.svg is perfect!

Just the text more up and the escapee more down,
such that the graphic is centered on that 800x800 gid vertically.
Also, make asure that the left edge of ESCAPE is as far away from the left border, as the left foot of the escapee (which is the right-most in the graphic;-) from the right border.

If you can't make sense of that ^^^, I will show you an illustration.

PS: I appreciate your SVG-skills!!!

Ideally, you would provide me that green section in the above graphic. (For sure, I mean the white stuff in the green section)

Size is not important because it is scalable anyway.

Just want to make sure, that the whole arrangement, or composition, is not insert-moded in the way IBM^w Unicomp do their key labels.

Please again, look how the right end of ESCAPE closes perfectly with the right edge of the ellbow.

Also, just make a 2nd SVG with the runaway alone, again totally centered, with only a minimum amount of air around it.

PS: In reality I wanted to finish the layouts to hand over to SP ...

It is no back ground issue!!!!

Sorry, if I had confused you.

Your graphic is fine, except that the relation-ship between text and figure is wrong.

Is it possible to load an image (that PNG-file above) into Illustrator as a background image and then move the escapee and the text from your SVG around, until there is a perfect match?

Then wave away that PNG and save the SVG, posting here and we are done!

Sorry for posting off-topic:

The white on top is right, the black underneath is wrong (sorry for being political incorrect).

Put this one underneath your SVG and move the 2 objects around until it's perfect:

PS: for sure it is a matter of taste, after all;-)

PS/2: In reality it will be only that small:

And maybe you shoud move the text a slightly bit more down than what I toold you with that big-ass (800x800) PNG above ...

Actually I don think that the distance to edge really matters as there technically shouldn't be a background in the svg.

They should be able to center this one on the key and it should look as we desire. Or amI mistaken here?

http://philblog.de/dl/escape11.svg

Clarification:

Das einzige auf das es ja wirklich ankommt sollte das Verhältnis von Text zu Figur sein, denn nur die beiden sind tatsächlich in der SVG enthalten. Die "Größe" (800x800 etc.) dient meines Wissens nur als Anhaltspunkt für die Darstellung im Browser. Ich hab jetzt die Objektgruppe exakt auf die Größe des "Grundquadrates" getrimmt, die Positionierung auf dem Key ist dann Sache von SP oder von dir bei der Bestellung. Wenn ich das jetzt total noobig falsch verstanden haben sollte, bitte nicht schlagen

I think that is actually how it works. The spacing in the svg should not matter, since the last version has the placement directly at the edges of the grid. This should be all we need. Anything else is up to SP?

Left, the latest version from bugfix: / Right, the version I would prefer:

Now everybody should decide which looks better.

(I would prefer the text and escapee in the right graphic a tiny bit closer, but not too close as in some of those many version above.)
