Title: New *Chord fonts released
Post by: Lawrie Pardy on 2009-03-26 11:48 PM
G'day all,
after a somewhat short beta period (there really weren't many people that seemed to be very interested) I have decided to release my new *Chord fonts:
SwingChordDoSi.ttf
SwingChordGermanic.ttf
MusikChordSansDoSi.ttf
MusikChordSansGermanic.ttf
MusikChordSerifDoSi.ttf
MusikChordSerifGermanic.ttf

They are temporarily available in the zip file:
http://zoundz.pardyline.com.au/SupportFiles/Fonts/ChordFontsDoSiGermanic.zip

I say temporarily only because I intend to make them available via the Scripto.

The character mappings are identical to SwingChord.ttf EXCEPT for the following:
*DoSi - A to G have been replaced by La, Si, Do, Re, Mi, Fa, Sol
*Germanic - Maj6/9 (a triangle followed by 6/9) has been moved to Chr$ 0189 and an H introduced in its place giving the letters A to H for those countries that use H in lieu of B and B in lieu of Bb

Please note that while Andrew Purdams excellent TextChord transpose user tool will work just fine for the DoSi fonts, it will need modification for the Germanic versions.

Comments are always welcome, but unless there is some glaring error that I've missed these will be the final release versions.
