To generate a new letter icon:
|
|
|
|
- Open `icons.sfd` in FontForge.
|
|
- Open "IBM Plex Sans Medium" to the side. Return to the icons font.
|
|
- Copy the two baselines from `E0F0` to the new codepoint.
|
|
- Open the new codepoint.
|
|
- Select the upper baseline.
|
|
- Use `Element | Insert Text Outlines...` to place text:
|
|
- Turn off "Scale so text width matches path length".
|
|
- Align "centered".
|
|
- Type first line of text into the box.
|
|
- Click the "Insert" button (might need window resize to be visible).
|
|
- Delete the baseline.
|
|
- If there's a line 2, repeat for the lower baseline, including deletion.
|
|
- Select all.
|
|
- Use `Element | Transformations | Transform...` to Scale Uniformly (from glyph origin) and Move as needed:
|
|
- One letter: 12000%, X 896, Y 15.5.
|
|
- Two letters: 10000%, X 896, Y 99.2.
|
|
- Three letters: 8000%, X 896, Y 183.
|
|
- Two lines: 8000%, X 896, Y 618.5.
|
|
- If resulting glyph is too wide, repeat all steps starting with "IBM Plex Sans Condensed Medium" instead.
|
|
- Remember to close the other IBM Plex font or select the proper one in the text dialog.
|
|
|
|
Notes:
|
|
|
|
- Codepoints `E0F0` to `E0F4` are for reference only.
|
|
- The back layer of each of `E0F1` to `E0F4` has lines that show the expected tops and bottoms of text. Round letters and numerals will reach slightly above or below.
|
|
- The WSG icon (`E11F`) has been slightly kerned to fit.
