<h1>december adventure 2025</h1>
<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>
<h2 id="log">the log</h2>
<h3>2025-12-01</h3>
<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>
