Greetings all. I recently used the Truetype-tracer to generate several lettered objects for my two boys preschool. The teachers loved the objects and were asking for additional letters so the children could use them for tracing practice.
One issue they had was the shape of the small case letter "a". In almost all printing, the typeset has the letting "hat" on the letter, but when they teach the kids to write, they teach the letter "a" with no hat. I spent several hours yesterday going through the various freetype fonts trying to find an "unhatted" a can could not find a single instance or font. I was doing this by running the program with a given font and the letter "a" as the text, overwritting a .ngc file loaded into EMC, then just refreshing the file. Fortunately, Chris placed a comment at the top of each ngc file written with that routine stating the given font. Needless to say, I was unsuccessful in my search. Three questions. First, DOes anyone know of any freetype font with an "unhatted a"? IF no, is there a place where I can view all font sets without my current hunting and pecking? FInally, if no to the above, is there a tool I can use to modify a font file to "undress an 'a'"? Thanks for the help.
