| The lower-case letters of the font are the alphabet running horizontally, and the upper-case letters are the vertical top-to-bottom forms. If you want bottom-to-top, it's probably easier to create a horizontal string and ask your software to rotate it. Each letter occupies a square space, and there is no intentional leading or inter-character space--this is so that they will run together. The dash character (ANSI 45) is an unadorned horizontal line, and the vertical bar (ANSI 124) is an unadorned vertical line. These can be used for spaces. The actual space character (ANSI 32) is an empty space. Most of the rest of the non-alphabetics (and the letters that don't occur in the Ogham) are mapped to an ivy leaf (gort) modified from a symbol in one of the Corel Draw symbol sets. The font was created in Corel Draw 3.0, and was easy. Someday I hope to do a runic alphabet (futhark), but I think I'll wait until I get Fontmonger. �Curtis Clark, 1992. |
