Put together the registered Epsy Sans 4.0 package

Put together the family so that when you select Epsy Sans and apply the bold and italic attribute, you get Epsy Sans-Bold Italic. You can also select Epsy Sans-Bold Italic form the font menu. This is the same system that Adobe uses on it's fonts.

Finished Epsy Sans 4.0!


  • Get all the details on my Epsy Sans 4.0 page.
  • I had previously tried to get MkLinux to get to work on my Mac (from 6/15-6/21). However, I finally found out that my model Mac isn't supported. Oh, well...

Worked on Calypso (0.1 in progress)

Finished the letters "T" and "P". Didn't get as far as I wanted.

Worked on Epsy Sans Monospaced Bitmap

Finished up the plain version. My goal is to have a better-looking terminal than anyone else. So soon, instead of using Claris Works to write a letter, I'll use emacs on my unix account :-)

Worked on Calypso (0.1 in progress)

Finished the letters "M", "R" & "T". Tomorrow I should have enough letters to spell my name.

Worked on Epsy Sans (4.0 in progress)

Printed out a sample sheet - realized that Epsy Sans changes are only visible on printed output! So basically it looks the same as before online :-)

Worked on Epsy Sans Bold (3.3)


  • Redrew & and *
  • Changed accents

  • Fixed "y" dieresis

Worked on Epsy Sans (4.0 in progress)


  • Increased overshoot to match example (Helvetica)
  • Kerned letters with sharp apexes (i.e., M, N, V, W, X)
  • Overall improvement in character roundness.
  • Pictures tomorrow!

Worked on Calypso (0.1)


  • Slow-going, but it is coming together quite nicely. I finally have all the letters necessary to spell out the name of the font:

    Calypso

Worked on Epsy Sans 3.3


  • Changed accented characters to more closely match the Helvetica example. Now the accents have more character - rather than being just a diagonal line, they now are a full-fledged glyph!

    Old: a acute New: a acute



  • Modified the lowercase "z" to get rid of those annoying weak corners.

    Old: z New: z
  • Modified tilde using Eurostyle example.
  • I also got my Jeep back from the shop - $200 later, it runs great. And your shareware registration fees made it all possible :-)
