Golden Age: SMuFL version
Posted: 22 Feb 2022, 09:36
Another day, another music font....
I've just completed a SMuFL version of the handwritten font, Golden Age. (I've been in touch with the original creator, Don Rice.)
I say 'completed', though I've had a bit of trouble with bounding boxes on Windows, cropping the glyphs, but think I've sorted it out.
Cleverly, I've been able to use one font for both the handwritten text and music (because SMuFL doesn't use the text character slots). The original font came with two separate Text fonts. While you could of course continue to use those: I've combined the two, added more diacritics and other characters, improved the kerning, and tidied up the Unicode character slots. (Some chars were in the wrong places.)
