Title: Math Font
Post by: AngelFish on July 04, 2011, 06:55:54 pm

I'm looking for a sprite artist to help design a math font. I'm reusing the TI-OS large font for the alphanumeric characters to save space, I think it could be improved. The font itself will be in 5x7 monochrome.

I'd be happy to help out here. What exactly do you need?

There's only so much you can do with a 5x7 font. Specifically, only 34,359,738,368 things you can do.

Golly, that might not be enough :P

At the moment, I need Subscript "x", "n", "i" as well as superscript "x" and "n". Some other commonly used symbols that I intend on implementing are "±" (Plus-or-Minus symbol) and "∞"

As for larger sets, you can't have math without greek letters. Since TI-OS already has quite a few Greek letters, I mostly need the missing uppercase and lowercase ones.




It'd also be nice to be able have an italic font.

Ok so here's the images as .png files. Also num.gif contains several more I made as layers but they're mostly +, -, X, /, !, etc :P

I could attempt the italic font. Math font or alphabet.
