A "Font Production" room?

Ramiro Espinoza

Hi! I can't find a room dedicated to font production at TypeDrawers. Since the "Build" room at Typophile has always been a very valuable resource for a lot of people, can a similar space be created here?
Thanks in advance.

Michael Clark

There is always the "Critiques" forum!

James Puckett

Is there some reason that font production discussions cannot go in the “Software” section?

Mark Simonson

I would think Technique and Theory, as it seems like a "technique" topic.

Ramiro Espinoza

Well, it is not the same. What about kerning lists and methods? Or design standards for foreign diacritics? Or encoding policies? Or glyph naming issues? Or production workflows? Or font format specifications? This technicalities deserve a special section that is different than the one used for exchanging experiences about font software.

Ramiro Espinoza

"Technique and Theory" is a sub section of "Lettering and calligraphy". I don't think 'font production' would fit.

Mark Simonson

It's also a subsection of "Typeface Design".

Ramiro Espinoza

@Mark, Oh, you are right. Huummmm... I still don't know but maybe I'm being a bit stubborn .

The user and all related content has been deleted.

Ramiro Espinoza

Ok, that will be the place of my future technical questions. Deal.

James Puckett

Let’s just keep production in the “Technique and Theory” and “Software” categories for now. If a large volume of production posts start to appear I will add a category later.

Less categories, please. I'm already confused.
