This is the first known digitization of "Ebony", as seen in the Solotype 
catalog, page 43.

Claude did the digitization of the basic alphabet, numbers, and punctuation. 
Character added accented characters, additional punctuation, spacing, kerning, 
and other miscellany.

Enjoy!

DAMMIT!  I was sure I'd fixed that when I created the perthou glyph.

Here's version 1.2, with corrected percent.

Mon plaisir.

Thank you.
I love your rendition of Ebony. 1890 lives again! 
For readers unfamiliar with the provenance of the font, I enclose a
copy of the patent for ready reference.

Oh my! And Thank you! I asked claude what the source of his images was, but he 
never replied. I wish I'd had this earlier - clearly the 'R', question mark, 
exclamation point, and comma don't match. The patent page also has a couple of 
nice ligatures (Th and Co). I'd also have put the original attribution into the 
designer information in the font.

Is it too early for a Version 2.0?

It looks like you've already done most of the work. I'll be glad to adjust the 
spacing and add kerning. I'm also working on Driftwood (Solocat p.67), Stamps 
(p.66), and Rustic (p. 67). I'll probably post them at the same time as the next 
version of the Solopedia.
