I've attached the PDFs for the font at magnifications 100, 180 and 200
for your perusal. Lower magnifications make the font thicker and
higher, thinner. These are in cardine-mag100,180,200-pdf.zip.
The reason I also used 100 is because I decided to compare the converted
font output with the Cardine.pdf metafont output that Élie originally
attached. I generated PDFs at 10pt and saw that 150 produced a font
that was thinner than what was in Cardine.pdf. Setting the magification
to 100 produced a font that, at 10pt, was very similar to the original.
Of course, this doesn't mean it's the best value, just that it's similar
at 10pt. I've attached 10pt PDFs in cardine-10pt-comparison.zip.
Let me know what you think is best, and I will attach the pfa/ttf
version of the desired magnification.
Thinking about it, I believe it would be safe to first being able to
make an example in a real-life score with Gregorio: it should be
feasible to do it in a one-line score, with a first line of ancient
notation made by hand, tweaking some spacings... I have absolutely no
possibility of doing that in the next few weeks, but if you could try it
would help a lot!
As for name, if we can't come up with something more creative, then we
can call it "Cardine G" or somesuch. Or maybe "Hartker" for the monk
whose handwriting the font imitates?
This is a good idea! If noone has a better idea, I'll keep this one!
Thank you,
