FONTLOG for the Crusader font software.

2016-09-20 - Update to v. 001.002:

Added a number of new glyphs, completing the ISO-8859-15 portion of the font. ISO-8859-15 is the same as the older ISO-8859-1 (“Western”) but with the addition of the Euro. Of course, in this font all of those glyphs are replaced with various heraldic and other iconic symbols.

2016-09-13 - Update to v. 001.001:

Fixed PANOSE classification from text to symbol/icons.
Added the TTF names of the font in several languages.
Added a few new glyphs.

2016-09-09 - Initial Release:

Everything contained in this font started as clipart designs by G. Adam Stanislav uploaded to OpenClipart.org (see https://openclipart.org/user-detail/AdamStanislav for all his contributions there).

While creating some cross-shaped clipart, the author decided to also make it available as a font. Naturally, while clipart can often be simple and easy to convert to a font, that is not always the case. In the case of this font, the solution was to convert every single related piece of clipart into a glyph, while at the same time convert several pieces of clipart into several separate glyphs of zero width, so you can type them in a row (or swap their order) and color each of the pieces separately. The result can be seen in Crusader.jpg enclosed with the font.

When you are done typing several zero-width glyphs, you can press the space bar to move to the start of the next glyph. Because, however, certain software ignores the definition of the blank space in a font, if pressing the space bar does not accomplish the desired result, type the period (.) instead.

Alternately, if you want such a complex sequence of glyphs to stand out, precede the sequence with a left bracket and follow it with the right bracket. To make it stand out even more, use the square brackets instead.

Please note this is only necessary if you want to apply different colors or effects to various components of the sequence. If that is not necessary, each of these sequences also has a stand-alone glyph assigned.

Specifically, the sequence of 12345678. looks just like the vertical bar (|); the sequence of JKLMN. looks the same as the comma (,); and the sequence of uvwxyz. looks like tilde (~). And of course you can type [12345678] or {12345678} instead of 12345678.

Furthermore, the digits 0 and 9 and the letters O and o are suitable to be placed behind just about any self-standing glyph of this font except perhaps the semicolon (;).
