Problem: When placing in Typetool from Illustrator, the anchor points went whack and all over the place. Resolve: There was no fix besides manually adjusting each and ever single anchor point.

Problem: The space was not activated even when selecting the space glyph. Resolve: Place in new document and re-activate the space glyph. Problem: When uploading to .ttf file the name did not change; it stayed ‘Untitled’.

Problems

Resolve: Reading the ‘how to’ form for week five, and changing it manually to the propper typeface name Gargon.

Sneak Peak

I intend to use the font I have created ‘Gargon’ in most of my headings, and also in extra design aspects throughout my typographic book.
