Version 3.71 improved the kerning pairs. Version 3.72 improved the Greek glyphs, and added kerning pairs. Version 3.73 added more kerning pairs for Petite/Small Capitals. Version 3.74 loosened some kerning pairs like ‘a, ‘d, ‘e.

Narrow diacritics were added for narrow glyphs and low profile diacritics were added for capitals, small, and petite capitals. Anchor-based composition was used wherever possible. Roman Numerals were added to historical ligatures. Some contours were redesigned or smoothed.

The glyphs in alternative fractions were realigned. Many more kerning pairs were added. Versions 2.43 fixed some kerning pairs. Stylistic Alternates were added to version 2.50; version 2.51 fixed some bugs. Version 2.52 fixed some mapping issues and aligning of italic alternative fractions. Version 2.53 unified font metrics, improved PANOSE classification, and added some kerning pairs. Version 2.54 fixed some bugs.

PagePlus supports all of the OpenType features in my fonts and was used to test them. Development of PagePlus has ceased; it has been replaced by <a href="https://affinity.serif.com/en-gb/publisher/" target="_blank" class="C-4">Affinity Publisher</a>, but is still worth buying if you can find a licensed copy.

Archives are typically only half the size, which means less server space, less bandwidth, and faster downloads. A large font set like Kabala (8 type styles) is 4.47 Mbytes compressed to Zip format, 2.28 Mbytes compressed to 7-Zip format. 7-Zip is free, Open Source, and small (1.37 Mbytes).</span></span></li><li class="Bulleted-List P-9" style="text-indent:0;margin-left:48.0px;"><span class="C-3">How long does it take to make a font?<span class="C-2"> That depends on how well you want to do it.

Version 4.00 would be a minor upgrade of version 3.90.</span></span></li> </ol> <p class="Bulleted-List P-10"><span class="C-2"><img alt="Contact me by email to report any bugs or suggest improvements" title="Contact me by email to report any bugs or suggest improvements" src="images/myemail.png" id="pic_864" style="vertical-align:middle;margin:6px;width:246px;height:32px;"></span></p> <p class="Heading-2"><a title="Keyboard Setup Files 151 Kbytes 7-Zip Archive" href="resources/PagePlus.7z" class="C-12"><span id="PagePlusKeyboard"></span></a><span class="C-7">PagePlus Keyboard (for Windows)</span></p> <p class="Body"><a href="resources/PagePlus.7z" class="C-2"><img alt="Download 7-Zip Archive of PagePlus Keyboard Files" title="Download 7-Zip Archive of PagePlus Keyboard Files" src="images/calc.png" id="pic_891" style="float:right;margin:0px 6px;width:32px;height:32px;"></a><span class="C-2">PagePlus has a customisable keyboard, but lacks the option to assign individual characters to shortcuts, unless they already appear on the menus. <a href="resources/PagePlus.7z" class="C-4">This keyboard</a> was designed for typing the accented characters required for Pāli using the <a title="Download the Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator" href="https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=102134" class="C-4">Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator</a>. Unlike the Windows UK International Keyboard, it can type a full range of accented characters for East European languages — ç, ł, ņ, ż, etc., as well as those needed for French or German. <a title="PagePlus Keyboard Shortcuts 68 Kbytes PDF" href="PDF/PagePlus%20Keyboard.pdf" class="C-4">Full list of shortcuts</a>.</span></p> <p class="Heading-3"><span class="C-6">Installing the Keyboards</span></p> <p class="Body"><span class="C-2"><img alt="PagePlus Keyboard Icon in the Windows taskbar" title="PagePlus Keyboard Icon in the Windows taskbar" src="images/LanguageBar.png" id="pic_890" style="float:right;margin:0px 6px;width:241px;height:155px;">To install a keyboard — extract the files in the archive to any convenient location, then double-click on the installation program to install the keyboard. The PagePlus keyboard package includes the source file so you can modify it as you wish using the Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator.</span></p> <p class="Body"><span class="C-2">After installation, you can select the keyboard in Control Panel, Languages and Keyboard Options, Add other languages, Details, where you can select the keyboard from the drop down list. That makes the keyboard available — to activate it, click on the icon in the system tray and select it from the list.</span></p> <p class="Body"><span class="C-2">To uninstall the keyboard use Add or Remove programs from Windows Control Panel or run the installation setup program again.</span></p> <p class="Body"><span class="C-2">If you need to type in European languages as well as Pāli, I recommend the PagePlus keyboard. It has the widest range of shortcuts and is easier to use for typing English. If you don’t need most of the shortcuts they won’t slow you down, just learn the ones that you do need. Any keyboard shortcuts that you assign in PagePlus or other programs will override my assignments.</span></p> <p class="Body"><span class="C-2">If you have any feedback on the keyboards or fonts, send me an email. </span></p> <p class="Body P-2"><span class="C-3">If you don’t tell me about bugs or defects they cannot be fixed.</span></p> <p class="Body P-2"><span class="C-3"><br></span></p> <p class="Body P-1"><span class="C-2">Page last updated on 25 December 2024</span></p> <p class="Body P-2"><span class="C-3"><br></span></p> </div> </div> </body> </html>
