43 | Code2000 is a work-in-process. It currently (Version 1.171) has over 60000 | |
44 | glyphs. | |
45 | ||
46 | <BR><BR> | |
47 | ||
48 | It is still a bit rough in spots. I am constantly working to improve it and | |
49 | add more glyphs. | |
50 | ||
51 | <BR><BR> | |
52 | ||
53 | Although it is more-or-less readable at 12 - 18 point, it is much clearer at | |
54 | about 24 point. Some of the dingbats should be at least 36 point. With font- | |
55 | smoothing it looks good at normal sizes. | |
56 | ||
57 | <BR><BR> | |
58 | ||
59 | Windows 98 (and up) has font-smoothing built-in. Microsoft has font-smoothing | |
60 | available for free download for Windows 95. If you're running Windows 95 | |
61 | you should definitely get font smoothing. | |
62 | ||
63 | <BR><BR> | |
64 | ||
65 | To download font smoothing for Windows 95, go to | |

70 | Instructions for installing and activating Windows 95 font-smoothing are | |
71 | included in the package. | |
72 | ||
73 | <BR><BR> | |
74 | ||
75 | To enable font smoothing in Windows 98, Windows 2000, and Windows M.E.: | |
76 | ||
77 | <BR> 1) Click My Computer | |
78 | <BR> 2) Click Control Panel | |
79 | <BR> 3) Click Display | |
80 | <BR> 4) Click Effects tab | |
81 | <BR> 5) Put check in box called "Smooth Edges of Screen Fonts" | |
82 | <BR><BR> | |
83 | ||
84 | All of the glyphs are mine, painstakingly drawn one point at a time. I try | |
85 | to design glyphs which are true to the script they represent based on as | |
86 | many samples as I can obtain. | |
87 | ||
88 | ||
89 | <BR><BR> | |
90 | ||
91 | Some of the scripts are only partially represented in the font. | |

102 | KNOWN ERRORS: | |

104 | <BR><BR> | |
105 | ||
106 | HEBREW: Some combinations of Hebrew non-spacing marks are still not | |
107 | supported, but the OpenType tables are almost completed | |

114 | ||
115 | Code2000 now has OpenType tables for some scripts. Gurmukhi, Devanagari, | |
116 | Bengali, and Tamil tables are fairly well advanced, but some tinkering remains | |
117 | to be done with respect to mark positioning in some cases. | |
118 | The Bengali glyphs are not quite finished, and several are a bit rough. | |

135 | "folders".) | |
