<p>Istok Web is an original typeface, in development since 2008. At first some
|
|
basic letters were based on specially modified METAFONT sources from the CM
|
|
Bright font family from the TeX community. (METAFONT is very flexible
|
|
technology.) But in fact Istok fonts are now very far from this origin.
|
|
Contours of the font are designed in the freely distributable font editor,
|
|
<a href="http://fontforge.sourceforge.net">FontForge</a>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Most glyphs are manually hinted with the aim to be rendered on LCD
|
|
displays. I used <a href="http://xgridfit.sourceforge.net">xgridfit</a> as a
|
|
tool for programming truetype instructions. Less frequently utilized symbols
|
|
have automatic instructions produced by FontForge autohinting, until manual
|
|
hinting can be done. Manual and automatic instructions are intended to look
|
|
homogeneous.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The original sources and truetype fonts are available at
|
|
<a href="http://code.google.com/p/istok/">code.google.com/p/istok</a> and
|
|
this 'Web' version has modified vertical metrics.</p>
