I renamed the font from Gingerbread to "GingerbreadVictorian" to 
prevent technical confusion with other fonts already in digitial 
existence named "Gingerbread".

Thanks to Anna, Poukha, and Ressearcher for their invaluable 
assistance in getting this done so quickly.

Note to Ressearcher - I ended up mostly using Scanfont's traces - 
while they weren't as elegant, they stayed closer to the original 
shapes and ornaments.

Subject: Gingerbread Victorian, Version 1.1
Newsgroups: alt.binaries.fonts

This version incorporates required corrections pointed out by Frogii 
(repositioning of the '4' and 'g') as well as many corrections to the 
outlines, including optimization and simplification. These are 
reflected as smaller file sizes.

If there are no further significant glitches, I'll post this version 
to other newsgroups and free font websites such as Fontspace and daFont.

[...parts of message snipped...]

The [DXS-named?] "Gingerbread" font I'm looking for is pictured here:

http://www.typeheritage.com/24_Victorian_Display_Fonts.pdf

It was designed by Julius Herriet for the Bruce Foundry in 1878.  A
full specimen is illustrated in DXS's Victorian Display Alphabets|100
Complete Fonts, and [in my dreams!] a digital ver exists Somewhere Out
There...

Thanks again for the time you spent to respond,

Anna
