<div class="win">
<p><a href="https://eli.li/december-adventure">december adventure</a>
is a <b>low key</b> thingy by eli oat. the goal is to choose a project
and work on it in a relaxed pace.</p>
<p>in this year's decadv i want to work on a project that
i've been postponing for too long now. i'm fascinated
by scripts and writing aystems, both natural and
constructed. over the years i've accumulated a few
writing systems of my own. sadly, i haven't found the
time to document them, but this year i want to try to
change this.</p>
<p>in particular, i want not only to document each writing
system, but to make a computer font for each one.</p>
</div>
<h2 id="log">the log</h2>
<div class="win">
<p>here will be some log entries, in reverse chronological order.</p>

<p>today i mostly tweaked the website. decided to make it look
like <a href="https://acme.cat-v.org">acme</a> window in which i'm currently writing this sentence :D</p>
<p>css is a bit questionable, but i'll tweak it more as i go.</p>
<p>as a sidenote, it's a bit challenging to work on something while also having
to go to a $dayjob...</p>

<p>started working on <a href="ukarpanghooth.html">ukarpanghooth</a> description. couldn't do images today, sorry...</p>
<p>also came up with a rough scheme on how to make each font:</p>
<ol>
<li>draw each glyph and glyph variant (inkscape)</li>
<li>save glyphs as individual svg files</li>
<li>load glyphs (fontforge)</li>
<li>tweak position and size (fontforge)</li>
<li>export as ufo (fontforge)</li>
<li>add opentype fea</li>
<li>compile (fontmake/fontc)</li>
<li>test (browser, libreoffice, harfbuzz, pango), looping back to 1-7 as needed</li>
<li>verify metadata and upload</li>
</ol>
