How do you edit different letters? When I opened it, 'Q' is selected but I don't see buttons to change letter?
- hedora 1y agoType the letter you want in the left box.
- tspng 1y agoThe letter below the "Editing" label is an input field. You can change the current letter there.
- afandian 1y agoThanks, got it! There's no clue that it's editable.
- linguistics__ 1y agoWhere you see the 'Q', it's a text-field, you can just enter a different letter and it'll switch.
- adamddev1 1y agoYes this threw me off when I first opened it. When you select the letter field you see a flashing cursor but you can't erase the character and type a new one. Instead you have to type a new character which overwrites the old "editing" character. This is confusing because it's not the behavior that the user expects when they see a flashing cursor in a text input. I would suggest allowing people to erase the letter and type a new one in the editing field. Once I figured out this little UI hiccup I found it absolutely delightful to play with this. What a fascinating experiment in making a font immediately editable, like a mini font-REPL. I've often been interested in (but never dabbled in) creating or editing fonts. This made that itch immediately scratchable in a raw, primitive way that unlocked something interesting in my brain. This is a great example of what art can do.
