Hi there.

First off, thanks for downloading Crimson Text! It's your interest that keeps me going.

Please understand that the font family you've downloaded is not even two months old, and is presently in a terrible condition.

- It's unhinted (= almost illegible at small sizes, especially on Windows systems).
- It lacks basic spacing and kerning. It has very few characters.
- It's guilty of overlapping paths, missing extrema, and all sorts of other little misdemeanors.
- It doesn't have ligatures, alternates, small caps, or any of that sort. It doesn't come with any math symbols.
- Many letters are still plain ugly, or have stroke widths inconsistent with the respective font's weight.

You are welcome to use Crimson Text for anything you like, but using it for /real/ work will result in embarassment, I promise.

Please send me many emails and share your thoughts: sebastian@aldusleaf.org

Crimson Text is licensed under the Open Font License (roughly: as long as you keep it that way, and as long as you give proper credit, you can pretty much do with it whatever you want).

The folder fontforge_sources contains the source files for the font. You can open them with FontForge, the amazing free font editor by George Williams.

CHANGELOG

June 28:

- Added small caps to Roman, Semibold Roman and Bold Roman
- Added common diacritic combining marks, incl. cap versions, to Roman and Bold Roman, and generated some characters beyond Latin-1. They yet have to be fixed.
- Same for small caps for Roman.
- Added oldstyle figures to all weights
- Increased the weight of the serifs in the roman fonts by a bit, to improve overall color and contrast.
- Fixed letters M, t, c, s in Roman weights
- Minor fixes for most letters
- Adjusted and unified baseline and overhangs/overshoots.
