Baybayin Updates

Journal Entry: Wed Aug 1, 2007, 11:34 PM
I'm about ready to release a couple more Baybayin fonts. But before I do, I need to fix some stuff.

The Baybayin script is now a part of the Unicode standard. In the most recent version of the Unicode, it is called the Tagalog script and is given the 1700-171F range.

I realize that, when I included the text files (.rtf) to the font set package file (.zip), I neglected to change the wordings from the original draft (which I use as a template). There is a line in there that says that my fonts are Unicode Compliant; they are not at the moment. I apologize for this blunder and I aim to rectify my mistake. I am in the process of making all my fonts Unicode Compliant (I've been working on it since last year, but my main problem is that I was doing more than I can handle). From now on, I won't release a font until they are fully compliant and standardized.

My next release will be updates on the current five font sets I already have out (probably one or two new ones if I can manage). The first four will be upgraded to include features from the latest font (Kufic).

Features to add:
» alternative kudlits (hollow & solid) to differentiating soft & hard vowels.
» alternative (artistic/funtional) representations for certain characters.
» alternative syllable repeater/doubling method, the "2" kudlit.
» keystrokes 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 rendering alternative 2nd kudlit characters.

When done, I will change Paul Morrow's [link] trademark Katipunan Sun (keystroke @) with my Tamaraw Mark. IMG: [link] This will be the final addition to mark the updated fonts and future fonts I will be releasing.

The sun was leftover from earlier days when I was just beginning to learn how to make fonts. This replacement will be symbolic of the change & transfer from historic based Morrow's Fonts into modern/artistic based Nordenx Fonts.

I also chose the Tamaraw to represent my (birthplace) home province (Mindoro) and the native Mangyan tribes that kept their script alive. Like the Tamaraw, Baybayin is endangered - but it is still alive, and it needs all our efforts to keep it alive.

For more info, visit my Baybayin Blog: [link] I have other artwork & graphics there too (some pretty rough ones that I think are not DA material).

Salamat po sa fonts :)
~Nordenx:iconNordenx: Jan 5, 2008, 11:57:37 AM
Thank you.

Simply type:

g = ga
ge = ge
gi = gi
go= go
gu = gu
g+ = g+

Typing in all lowercase is recommended because the Capital letters are used for special characters like ng (N) and (A, EI, OU) vowels in the beginning of a word.

For more info please read the text files (.rtf) included in the font download files (.zip), also visit: [link]
