@libroraptor I didnt invent the full-R its a standard part of copperplate and many other scripts going back hundreds of years, including gothic scripts.
The rules around when to use each basically dictate that you use half-r when you need a descender low in fo the next letter and the full-r is for connectors closer to midline.. if you do "proper" scripts you should be using a mix of both.
How To Use Macbook Trackpad Handwriting For More Intuitive Note-Taking
As technology continues to advance, so do the capabilities of our devices. The Macbook trackpad has evolved from a simple point-and-click tool to a versatile input method that offers a wide range of features. One such feature is trackpad handwriting, which al ...continues
How can artificial intelligence be used to support humans instead of replacing them?
This presentation demonstrates how we integrated Handwritten Text Recognition (HTR) into the FromThePage crowdsourcing platform while keeping the central role of humans in the transcription process.
Quick update to users of #Calligraphy: I've hit an issue in a underlying library, PyGObject. It's fixed on their main branch, but I'll have to wait until they release a new version before I can continue development.
The Shintō shrine Jōnangū (城南宮) in Kyōto, was a palace of Emperors from the beginning of the #Heian Period in 794. It has #gardens from different periods since then, and a patch of pink and white #plum blossoms around a big stone lantern is a most stunning sight to behold. Several years ago the head priest showed me around and explained the history in Japanese. Jōnangū is not well known to tourists, but it draws many reverent Japanese.
The third photo is of a teahouse and a reddish variety of plum blossoms. The last photo shows what my American friend whom I guided got: a seal written in #calligraphy by the shrine maiden (o-miko-san). Jōnangū is written down the center, with yesterday's date down the left side. The right side is what the shrine especially offers: houyoke - a #prayer to avoid obstacles or worries, such as with one's family. There is a great demand for such #blessings nowadays.
Mynerve is a #handwriting#typeface designed to annotate and comment on documents with a fresh style. Two sets of alternates allow variations when letters are repeated to emulate realistic script, together with some ligatures for frequent combinations. Designed by #CarolineShort
Normally I'd love to help with projects like this #HandWriting#recognition task from the Australian War Memorial - because many people never learned to read or write cursive script, they need help to transcript the cursive handwriting of war letters.
But I also know that at some point, a startup is going to want that data for a handwriting recognition tool that's proprietary and available only as a paid service.
And that the market incentives will be too good for a government organisation not to sell that data.
So, no. I'm too cynical now to help with these sorts of projects ...
