Re: 67 fonts for leds and keys (edited with new references) Message #7 Posted by Vieira, Luiz C. (Brazil) on 10 Apr 2004, 9:20 p.m., in response to message #6 by Renato
Hello, Renato; thank you very much. I'm glad you liked it!
Yeap! They are "mine" (at least I draw them...) I draw the characters with the use of CorelDRAW! The 7-segment LED TTF in both PDF was also rewritten today. I enhanced the space between characters and added a [.] (dot) and [,] (comma) that can be added between characters. The original TTF had only the original classic "dot" that occupies the space equivalent to one character. Soon I'll be posting about them.
The keyset is not exactly for the HP67, it's meant to be a general-purpose keyset font. Please, have a look at this pdf and you'll see what is this about.
I'm redrawing the font for printers: HP82143A and both sets for the HP82240, the ECMA 94 set and the ROMAN 8. There is a TTF available for the HP82143A at the MoHPC (look here)but I'll replace it for the new one. It does not look the way characters are actually printed.
I'm also finishing a TTF for the HP42S and I intend to go further. To be honest, I also draw four other fonts suitable for all HP48/49 standard characters, but they were created as ordinary fonts and must be completely "reloaded" as symbol fonts. Any suggestions?
Renato, do you want to try these already existing TTF? Please, guys, anyone reading this post that want to try them, be my guest. I'd never be "building" these fonts if there is no HP calculator, and you (us), as users, are the ones HP are producing them for. If someone had these fonts available and I did not write them, I'd like to have them, too. I'll let them available to download from the following links:
Key Set TTF
7-segment LED display characters TTF
The keyset seems to be complete, but characters may be added anytime (there's a lot of "free space"). I think I'll add those rounded cursor keys available with the new HP48 and HP49 soon, and I'll let you know about this. Also there is a "up arrow" missing to refer to the HP27S and HP17/19B softkeys. I'll add it, too.
As the other TTF are available at the MoHPC, I'll ask Dave to have these new ones, too. I'm just finishing them and I'll send the complete pack. Is that O.K. for you, Dave?
I hope you like them. Please Renato, folks, use them as you wish. No need to mention my name or origin. I'd like to see as many papers as possible with them. Also, I'd like to thank Tony Hutchins whose inspiring comments and suggestions allowed me to enhance the key set.
Best regards.
Luiz (Brazil)
