I updated my source and had a play with it last night, and it's great. I had a quick look through some commercial parts to see what they looked like, and most of those I looked at had handwritten-look percent marks. It seems a bit odd to me, and out of keeping with the rest of the part, but I expect someone will ask for them eventually. Anyway, after trying a few settings, I stuck with slope 1.25, dot-negative-kern 0.6. I attach some sample output, which I'm sure the copyright owner won't recognise :-) On reflection, I think making them a bit more vertical looks better than just moving the dots inward. I like these settings so much more I'd like to request the defaults be changed, if there's consensus. Thanks for making this change so quickly. -- I can blink the lights and cat you files full of sad things, We can play XPilot just for two, I can serenade and gently play all your ogg files, Be your 'pache server just for you.
