			<description><![CDATA[<b><i>Nursey says:</i></b><p>Edited version is up! Its the same name as the previous for easy overwrite.<br />The bitmap font tool I used was web based, and is limited as to what I can edit, so I&#039;m definitely going to learn how to use fontforge or something. I can imagine a Cyrillic-compatible bitmap font...</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<b><i>rvan says:</i></b><p>The new download link works, thanks.</p><p>I was hoping for a more readability-focussed font, but I like this general aesthetic too.&nbsp; It reminds me a lot of the classic artwiz-aleczapka fonts. I&#039;ve had a look through, mostly concentrating on the glyph forms.&nbsp; I don&#039;t see support for much of the Unicode range, only Basic Latin, Latin-1 Supplement and Latin Extended-A.&nbsp; Is this all that&#039;s included, or is this an encoding issue (probably at my end)?&nbsp; It&#039;s nice to see that those ranges are fully supported, though (except for a missing glyph at U+017F).&nbsp; What follows are some notes I made looking through the glyphs. </p><p><strong>Glyphs</strong></p><p>U+0030 DIGIT ZERO is not distinguishable from U+004F LATIN CAPITAL LETTER O; perhaps dot the zero?<br />U+00BF INVERTED QUESTION MARK, your glyph is mirrored in the y axis from what it should be.<br />U+00AA FEMININE ORDINAL INDICATOR has an underbar, but U+00BA MASCULINE ORDINAL INDICATOR lacks one.<br />U+00F0 LATIN SMALL LETTER ETH shows a miniscule eth (with missing crossbar), but all your other SMALL letters show majuscule forms.<br />U+010B LATIN SMALL LETTER C WITH DOT ABOVE shows an acute, not a dot.<br />Your breves look like carons, but I&#039;m being fussy here.<br />U+010F LATIN SMALL LETTER D WITH CARON shows an odd variant, not the same as the majuscule form.<br />U+0123 LATIN SMALL LETTER G WITH CEDILLA; as above.<br />U+0165 LATIN SMALL LETTER T WITH CARON; as above.<br />U+017F LATIN SMALL LETTER LONG S is missing, but Latin Extended-A is otherwise complete.</p><p><strong>Cosmetics</strong></p><p>U+003A COLON and U+003B SEMICOLON don&#039;t have the same dot-spacing.<br />U+00C6 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER AE has funny proportions.<br />U+0108 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER C WITH CIRCUMFLEX, the circumflex alignment looks slightly odd in running text.<br />U+0134 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER J WITH CIRCUMFLEX, the circumflex alignment looks odd in isolation, but alright in running text.<br />U+0162 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER T WITH CEDILLA, the cedilla doesn&#039;t match your other cedillas, which are otherwise consistent.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<b><i>rvan says:</i></b><p>I&#039;ve in fact been on the lookout for bitmap fonts which support BMP 0000-03FF, which I use quite often, so I was interested to try this out.&nbsp; Unfortunately, your download link doesn&#039;t work.&nbsp; Would you care to post a direct link to your font?</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<b><i>Nursey says:</i></b><p>Hello friends,</p><p>I&#039;ve done up a bitmap typeface with some odd ̶u̶n̶i̶c̶o̶d̶e̶&nbsp; characters that I don&#039;t use, basically, ever. Would a few of you mind giving this a whirl to see how they sit with the rest of the characters? I don&#039;t mind if you use ̶u̶n̶i̶c̶o̶d̶e̶&nbsp; characters or not, so I guess any feedback is nice. </p><p>Thanks!</p><p>Edit: Removed the old links, latest version is up <a href="http://www.mediafire.com/download/4b5mhff2vle23cp/robotneighbors.ttf" target="_blank">here</a>, based off of nitro2k01 and rvan&#039;s comments.&nbsp; Considering making a git repo for this...</p><p>The blocks supported are Latin Basic, some (80%) Latin-1 Supplement, and Latin Extended-A.</p>]]></description>
