Segment8 font family<br />
========================================================================<br />
Seeing "starburst" alphanumeric displays as a kid, kindled a recurring desire to make them even simpler. Hundreds of sketches and 35 years has resulted in this font family, based on eight core segments, that perhaps could work better than (ab)using numeric displays to approximate text.<br />
<br />
There's a regular, a bold, an italic and a bold italic. Digits and latin letters are quite readable. The full Windows-1252 is supported, but many characters are identical or gibberish. To differ from S and Z, 2 and 5 are a bit odd. Where reasonable, upper and lower case are different.<br />
<br />
Dots doesn't seem to "count" in segment displays. Many 7-segment digits has a dot or two. In Segment8 they're mapped to apostrophe and period. Both has zero width and combines with the previous character.<br />
<br />
Eight more zero-width characters contains each of the "core" segments. Using them, any segment combination can be created. (On Windows, hold down ALT and type the code, inluding the zero, on the numeric keypad.)<br />
