InkStitch - Geneva-simple typefaces

Draft

This page describes how we created a simple Hershey font.

Planned procedure:

• Select All (always, unless otherwise said)
• Set stroke Width to 1.5mm
• Set Cap to round (easier to deal with than rectangular probably)
• Verify shapes, smooth some(I fixed $, @, &, 0, O, Q4 and make strokes smaller ($, @).
• Menu Path -> Break apart
• Clean SVG, export as simple SVG.
• Import to illustrator to "simplify", i.e. remove all major overlaps (or is there a way to do it in Inkscape).
• Save as SVG in Illustrator and repopen it in InkScape
• Menu Path -> Stroke to Path
• Remove Fill
• Set Stroke Paint
• Set Stroke Width to 0.1mm

• Group all objects into one glyph group
• Create two subpath
• Verify directions of subpath
• Add rungs
