Finished preliminary work on Epsi Sans Multiple Master
- This is a two-axis Multiple Master font with axises on optical size and weight. It is based on the 9 and 16 pt. Espy Sans bitmap font. I currently have a working font with all the letters numbers and punctuation. Next up is those international characters and misc. doodads.

- No, I haven't been away from my fonts for the past 4 months! I just haven't had time to keep the log up. I'll try to be better about this in the future.

Worked on Epsy Sans-Tight
- Created numbers and misc. punctuation.

- Went to see "Space Jam" - not as good as I thought it would be, but still pretty good. Too many screamin' kids in the theater; I recommend going to see a late show.

Worked on Epsy Sans 4.1
- Finished up changes to Epsy Sans-Book (increasing overshoot, slightly modifying side bearings). Modified the "f". Should have something for you to look at really soon!
- Modified Epsy Sans-Regular. Changed the overshoot method on the numerals:

The difference is subtle, but "God is in the details."

Worked on the Espy Sans-Tight
Made tons of changes, bringing the design up to Epsy Sans 4.0 status. I plan to include this font with Epsy Serif. Hopefully, I'll have these fonts available by the end of the month. Hey, it'll be the perfect Christmas gift for that special someone.

Worked on the Web Site
- Okay, I've been radically altering my web site in accordance with Apple's Human interface Guidelines.
- I'm gradually getting rid of all kinds of anti-aliasing because it makes images appear fuzzy.
- I'm also using a reduced color set, see below, and the same color set on all of my icons.

This is the color set that Apple Computer uses for all of it's icons. It allows the Macintosh System software to correctly highlight and label icons. I'm working on trying to write JavaScripts to make my icons highlight. I always thought it was kind of dumb that when you click on an icon on a web page, you get no immediate visual feedback.
- These changes should make for a faster loading, better looking web site. If you have any comments about the site, please drop me a note.

Worked on the Web Site
- Check out Simga...
- Modified the Font Warehouse so that you go back to the Font Warehouse, rather than my Fonts Page after you have previewed a font.
- Changes to numerous to list!

Worked on Calypso
- Finished V, W, X, Z
- Finally, the whole alphabet is done! I'm currently checking out how it generates bitmaps (this is a great indicator of potential PostScript problems). I also have to create the readme file and the web pages. Keep watching this page over the weekend - I'm on a roll here!

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.
