I haven't had time yet to weave complete alphabets; so far I've only managed the capital 'A's. I've just added scans of them (not particularly good ones, I'm afraid) to my website. The fonts are for double-faced weave; at present the assumption is that all cards are S-threaded. I plan to allow for configuration of either all-S, all-Z, or alternate S/Z at some stage, but that's still some way in the future. The pattern file uses Forward/Back indicators mainly because that's how I think about double-faced weave. There are some internal coding reasons as well, but they're not really significant. I did debate with myself for a while whether the file should use the structure I've got now, or whether it would be better to have a block diagram. In the end it was pretty much a toss-up... Eckhard.
