I'd like to suggest that there be a design space as well (see attached image). I put it into the underscore (005F) and nbspace (00A0) positions. There seems to be something wrong with the metrics; the attached fontview image shows that the tops of the letters are being cut off, and lines of text overlap. - Character Attachment: OxfordFontview.jpg Oxford CP

There are also 'rounded ends of the beginning and end' They deraient be what position?

Implementing them would be something to be done with opentype, with 52 additional glyphs - begin.a, begin.b, .... end.y, end.z with the appropriate opentype features. Some day I may learn how to do that… >> There seems to be something wrong with the metrics; the attached >> fontview image shows that the tops of the letters are being cut >> off, and lines of text overlap. > > > Je vais corriger ça et complèter d'ici à 2 semaines. > > ( Beaucoup d'autres erreurs du à l'importation) It will be worth the wait! - Ch.

If the "[" and "]" characters will not be used, I believe these are the best place to put them. Only one key to press. The way I see it from the image/scan, the original might be using a cap rather than a new glyph. 22

Glad you posted the picture and added the attribution in the (c) line, too. Have you decided not to include any of the Æ glyphs that you posted in a test pdf last June? I recall that you weren't very satisfied with them, but I think that the basic one (in the upper left) looked quite good. - Character Attachment: OxfordAE.jpg Oxford CP AE ligatures
