One of them was a book of type samples.  Then, we went to <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.texasart.com\">Texas Art Supply<\/a> and I found even more books on type and samples of typography.  One of them was a book of foreign type samples that included sanskrit, Japanese and arabic.  So, it&#8217;s time to fire up the old font foundry and stamp out some fonts.<br \/>\nSure, I&#8217;ll have to alter the scanned fonts some, but at least it&#8217;s a place to start.  Especially with the foreign language fonts.  And, of course, I&#8217;ll want to take my scans and alter them significantly enough to make &#8220;unreal&#8221; languages.  I think that gamers and conworld builders and conlangers would love to have some original, but alien, fonts for their use.  I know that I would like it.  In fact, that was what started me on my quest to figure out how to create fonts in the first place.<br \/>\nSo, soon, I hope, I&#8217;ll have some updates and some downloads.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Everything is grist for the mill.
