lol that namako is from march the only glyphs that are good are the 120 pu ones
yes exactly
a ni li pona a, sina pali wawa
@dusk imp SUPER NOT CENTERED
fixed it
did some like slight adjustments
perfect
loje is less lopsided though :/
changed it again
@stable trench how do I add ligatures in the opentype menu
all the triangles are different shapes 
wait I found it
completely intentional :3
this is a handwrity font
if it was geometric it would be harder to read
anyway is there an easier way to do this -_-
sub a by aTok;
sub a k e s i by akesiTok;```
I am not good enough to do that
skldfj
however
there do need to be spaces between each letter on the left
oh there's a space between the letters
ye
if this includes ku words I'm gonna have to delete those manually for now
but this is super helpful thank u magic man
I can give you pu
i love the different triangle shapes on loje jelo and laso but kule is TOO TALL
without synonyms, without ali
sldfjslf never mind
I forgot I actually have the glyphs in the font they just look bad
okay so
- spaces are still .notdef
- sina doesn't seem to combine fully?
because sin comes before sina?
and a comes before sina?
I have no idea how these work

I am figuring out how to use this opentype designer on this new program
great
okay I think I gotta add some latin letters real quick lmao
thats not very TOKI PONA of you 🤬
the ligatures probably need to be sorted longest to shortest
so like "kepeken" first, "e" last
they're beautiful
a and p are making me >:(
this wasn't the case in fontforge
but I'll try it
a is cute, the lil curly serif
actually a is fine when its not at the beginning
wait idk if I know how to sort a bunch of lines by that
fontforge probably does it automatically without telling you
fascinating
why is u so big 😭
I drew these by hand on my fucking laptop with fontcreator's brush tool
with a mouse
(no mousepad)
(but tbh my setup has been working fine? like my mouse works fine?)
based
anyway I don't know how to sort things

it's bizarre that the new program doesn't do it automatically for you
it is
maybe it doesn't sort if you type them in?
maybe
are you SURE they need to be worted or is this like an educated guess
*sorted
educated guess
ah
because fontforge was picky about the order I put in the thing (and it kept everythign in an order I think)
or did it 
like on a technical level someone needs to sort them, text string replacement doesn't work properly if you don't
true
and sorting thousands of ligatures is computationally expensive for a computer viewing a font
so it's presumably the font creator's job to do it once at the beginning
okay so I just need a sorted version that sorts the lines by amount of characters
idk how to do that
can you import the ligatures from like linja sike or something?
it sounds like using jan Ke Tami's text file isn't actually a time saver
no bc linja sike doesn't have UCSUR codepoints or the names that I used for the glyphs
it might be if I can just sort the lines by number of whatevers
hmm maybe you can just google this and there's a dedicated web page for it, covered in ads
that's how I solve half the problems I have with text files
https://www.browserling.com/tools/line-length-sort <@&587034472898101250> pls pin this lmao I'll need to reference it
there u go x
thanks suwi o
xoxo
😳
😳
oh now all of the kulupu pali are in this channel oops
don't feel bad about it tbh they deserve to be here
better be on your best behaviro
no slurs!

I unpinned like a second after I pinned it, but there is no unpin announcement
o lukin
<@&811644330770301008> update: soon cartouches will work lol
Is the name to linja sike changing or am I dumb?
ye
Oh
well no I just started making a new font ig
putting the cartouche before the horseourche
Ahh
LOL
IT WAS A HORSE /ref
@cinder wyvern hey can u generate something 4 me
I need all the pu words in order seperated by a space with "Tok" at the end
yeay

sina wawARR
strongly disagree with myself from two weeks ago. linja lipamanka is awesome
true
where else would open be
line height seems small to me?
i can’t change that lol
at least not in this preview window
to my knowledge
@stable trench if i can do that then lmk i might need to for cartouches
wow knowing where the sentence breaks are is surprisingly easy
ikr
okay I found a solution...
to the thing last night
I make a copy of every single base glyph with whatever thing .copy suffix thing added to it
if it already has a suffex it just adds .copy to the end
so I have all the base glyphs, and then I have all the base glyphs but copied
so I can copy and paste from there into a new range of alt glyphs to make composites because it'll copy the composite instead of the contours with just normal ctrl+c
which is GREAT
to be clear this copied ranges thing won’t be like, actually used in the font
in fact i will try to remove it from the font to make the font file smaller bc it’s gonna be a huge font file lol
basically just a pallet of every glyph but i’m copying that version of it instead of the contours
<@&811644330770301008> heya streaming now 👍 come watch me stream !
DO IT
I'm like sleepy
eeming?
so I'm acting funny
sorry im being hot rn 😔 its a full time job
eamstray?
WOAH HYDRATION IS GREAT
anyone Screaming
thats good though
probabbly wont my headphones r fucked and my mic can randomly start screaming at people which is rlly unpleasant for them
im calling my partner right now 😎
ooo true okay
this pub is too busy for me to keep up with the conversation lmao
aw
<@&811644330770301008> ligatures and cartouches work! nothing new besides that
@dusk imp @stable trench
if you enjoy my fontmaking make sure to support @knotty widget on ko-fi
I mean
me
everyone give lipamanka three dollars 🐮🐮🐮
when your own font laughs at you for your mistake /lh
yuihjikofdgjsfad fso true
[] imo
<@&811644330770301008> what text would you like to input for it to become a cartouche? like [] works but what else anything elese?
like yeah
[] works
but
hmm it might be best to just leave it there
what is the current one
pi and iq
pi like that with no space could be good
or pi() like that
what app do you use
pi() feels better
if people start using a different sitelen in your font, they'll expect it in other fonts, and then everything will feel a little more broken
so I like [] taso
ojuta
try interpunct on cartouches
actually this is really smart
OH I HAVE NOT ADDED THE INTERPUNCT
oh yeah we need this
WHOOPSIES
• is this an interpunct
okay putting a . in a cartouche will automatically default it to middot
I know what ojuta is. i also know it was made by candice
ok nice that works
and same with :
nice
o tawa ma Masina
who is candice
I dare you
say it

just the person who works at deez

I have four

The ma ante one works on ma pona apparently
@rough drum good work! we caught the ban evader this time!

i already asked for this but () for cartouches would be nice so I don't have to go to the <>>€£ keyboard (i'm on iOS)
is it technically possible to do cartouches with mu mu (mu mu) but also extended pi with mu mu pi (mu mu) ?
like using parentheses for both i mean
() isn't only used to extend pi, so it's likely to break those glyphs
it’s possible if it’s written as pi(mu mu) i think
so pi (mu mu) results in
and pi(mu mu) results in
that would be sick yeah
Both
Oh well
I'd need to pay attention to the space
But that's not the worst
You'd have to have an extra way to do
okay this seems good I think 


when we started this I thought there wouldn't be so many messages,
the channel just goes on fucking forever,,
sorry but after over an hour I'll have to stop it with 🙂 reacts lakwijons
wait you’ve been reacting them to every fucking message??
the amusement of that completely outweighs how it’s a bit annoying fjsjlsjfjsjf that’s so funny
yes
🙂 glyph in linja lipamanka
THIS
extremely late to the party re: make cartouche, but it would be very interesting to have a font (maybe not this one) that auto-cartouches capitalized words, so instead of "toki [ike nasa lili ike]" it could be something like "toki Ike Nasa Lili Ike"
oh, I retract my interest, doesn't allow for multi-cartouches in a row (not common at all, and possibly very ike, but I'm sure somebody does it somewhere)
@cinder wyvern pi nimi tu li seme pilin tan ni?
mi wile e nimi tu a
i kinda like the idea. maybe put in an invisible character that starts a new cartouche
spp and lpp (on the same basis) does that - I have no idea why multiple cartouches in a row wouldn't work?
I think this is a different idea from that
spp will auto-cartouche "waso Keli"
they're talking about auto-cartouching "waso Kasi Esun Lete Ilo"
but it would be sick to be able to make a good looking cartouche with just "jan Kiwen En (invisible new cartouche character) Tomo Anu Mi Insa" tho
I would find it harder to press Shift a bunch of times than to press [] twice
nasin mute o ken!
Double space to stop the cartouche and allow for a new one to begin could work, but that's just one idea
Shift seems easier on iOS, [] seems easier on "real computer"
ken
honestly yeah that too
the more ways to do it, the easier it will be for more people
the fewer people doing this out of laziness:
ni la some way of making this happen sounds based
unmarked morae 
bask in its glory
just put one dot at the beginning if you're so intent on avoiding them
yeah •[kepijona]• or something doesn't seem too bad
no like
that applies the dot to everything in the cartouche
that's not bad either ¯_(ツ)_/¯
it's a convention, so it's more likely to be understood by people without them having to reread your name 4 times
oh huh, i've never seen this done before
i think i told you about it a while ago
during a bird interaction #912286596517220363 message
mm yes :/
i mean i've never seen it actually done, most people are happy with ken • pi • jo • nasa •
the fact that a Worse system is slowly sprouting from my system made to make the bad system good is smth i should just not care about but gods is it annoying
[(click to see attachment)](#1053850152932233266 message)
I still want to do
and if folks are intent on calling me akesi kon Nlsn out of spite, that's a price I'm willing to pay
That's more of a personal glyph anyway
ive realized that i made my name glyph not to mean Temi and go into a cartouche, but to mean mu Temi as a whole 
mi tu
#1053850152932233266 message heres where you left off in case you ever decide to Resume
a a thanks
that sounds pretty doable actually
woa
lol misread this and got reminded of mini cartouches which . i’m gonna have to implement lol i mean
extended pi will SOON BE SUPPORTED
@keen yew are u excited
trying to figure shit out
opentype is COMPLICATED
WHY AREN'T THEY COMBINING
@stable trench help meeeee
this is sk so weiorge
is it in the same table as /p /i > /piTok
OHHH i see yeah thats the problem
yeah
🙏
very helpful
anything about order I should know
like which table goes first
(wow that was. pretty obvious. damn)
also i use rlig instead of liga
j think that suits better for the specific thingy
tfucntio
this should wrok
oh what's the diff between rlig
You can do it, lipamanka o!
liga < standard ligature. things like fi ff
rlig < required ligature, something that's required like arabic l+a forming the ligature
(useless at computers despite being in IT, best I can do)
read all features here
is this all I need to change
yhink so
wooo
wait isnt ligature1 supposed to be after logature2
since it references ligated glyohs
aweome
still not working...
D:
OH
I NEED LIGATURE2 TO BE UNDER SINGLE SUBSTITUTION
IT WORKED
@stable trench thank u
@sturdy marlin do you remember what the difference between contStartTok and contStartCombTok were
I have them both but I forget what the difference is idk if you remember or not
fonts are too complicated why cant i just say words
lol
lipamanka can i show you the rainbow stairs at the cottage im at !
i ran around stimming for like 15 minutes while people were trying to sleep after i found these
supa kule
woahhhh
whic is better @dusk imp
<@&811644330770301008> I wanna know what y'all think too
if I'm being honest idk if I like either
i don't like either
the li looks skewed but i cant tell if it actually is
also tbh i can't really tell the difference between them
very overspaced
yes
sdjfkslfj
where both the start and end of the pi are exactly half a glyph
I actually did consider that but I wanna know what the bird has to say
dislike both tbh
I'm not a fan of long pi in general, but I prefer the second one
yeah the start isn't too bad but i use spaces to mark different sentences
so this will look confusing to many readers of my texts
but if every time this shows up there's always gonna be a start AND end of pi, they could each be half width
i did that in nasin leko suwi
I changed my mind, I like the first one better
there's a fullwidth ijo where the word "pi" goes, and no fullwidth ijo where there's nothing pronounced
nnnn
Tbh bispace could work for tokipona
hm
keep it monospaced, don't give into the temptation
pi should be a full width glyph
End a liiiittle too long
isolated pi, sure. not long pi
And idk why we Must Go Monospace
if it's not monospace it looks bad lol
monospaced is more legible, and making an exception for pi is making a legibility exception
maybe
isn't the, uh, evolution of extended pi a variant on pi combined with the next word?
how's this working
I think so
idk though
this is still kind of monospaced. pi start is 75% of one glyph and pi end is 25%
pona lukin a
looks great
okay so it should definitely be spaced more out ly but here's a sample text with the pi in it
@stable trench how can I increase the line spacing? is there a specific metric?
sdkfsjldjf true
nag no thtere
okay
go to font properties
master > click on default scroll down
youll see vertical metrics
okay
I think the pi seems very odd as a full character width. I think the spacing between the characters is slightly too w i d e for my liking (at least with a line spacing in this proportion and similar). It leads to some glyphs like la looking very isolated and interrupts my reading flow. Different readers may have drastically different reading preferences tho.
okay this is what I did
seems to work
hm no I gotta give it more space
maybe this is too much...
this seems good?
what if pi gets 0 width
so jan pi kasi mute aligns with jan kasi mute
this is what i do in my handwriting
this font generally has a lot of space around glyphs so i think it will work well
that looks really cramped lol
simply break the entire monospace design for one character /j
this is what people seem to be telling me to do?
not good enough I need bird aproval
(regarding the second and third lines)
I feel like the leftmost vertical stroke that starts the pi (second line) should be aligned with the leftmost vertical stroke that starts the cartouche (thrid line), as it is right now the pi starts "before" the cartouche (it is to the left of it)
if this is something intentional that you've already talked about, mi pakala
I haven't really thought much about it
but I agree I think they should be aligned
but I gotta figure out what to do about the spacing because I do NOT WANT to do the fucking nonmonospaced pi
but I also can't find a monospaced version so far that people like
so I'm waiting for the bird to tell mewhat to do sdklfjsl
waso ante la
the vertical stroke of both long pi and cartouche should be centered
ah i see
why's the long pi super curvy
anyway no spacing at the end is the best version imo
i used to like the half half thing but it makes big texts with lots of long pis in it look badly spaced
okay that’s kind of what i was going for
that’s what i was thinking
because the good thing about monospacing that makes it easy to read is that it’s grid
which makes it super easy to read
the 🙂 on every message makes it harder to read this thread
a mi ken pini ni
pona tawa sina
yeah it was funny tho
I have decided to go with this because having everything monospaced makes it easy to read because everything slots in vertically
it looks good imo
I could maybe improve it by doing a LOT of extra work and adding a whole extra set of alternates but NO >:( not doing that not gonna overwork myself
you can do this too
Rare noka container glyph
TRUE TRUE
wow
... am I going to make two seperate sets of alternates just so that there isn't a sharp edge there ...
Note am I going to make two seperate sets of alternates just so that there isn't a sharp edge there ... was not found.
basically for the sake of legibility, nothing is more important than monospacing imo
well. after the glyphs being recognizable
same reason I went with monospace for my font
pona a!
what's your font?
it's for a different writing system
ahhh
#pali-musi message
okay <@&811644330770301008> the next update will come out tomorrow probably (or like after that idk) and will have the following:
- all pu words
- all ku words
- cartouches
- pi extender (and also extender versions of a bunch of other words like lon, kijetesantakalu, pipi, awen, etc)
am I forgetting anything else important for UCSUR OH RIGHT COMBINING GLYPHS no . I'm not adding those yet LMAO
these glyphs have been redid somewhat (lanpan is smaller, misikeke is long and skinny to better resemble a capsul)
(n is not different lol)
tysm for all this hard work
if u would like you could support me on ko-fi and then i would have some money
that would be pretty cool
roadmap: adding combining glyphs like Eventually. gonna add the stacking ones first bc those don’t need anchors
imma make a font and steal all of your ko-fi business like a real capitalism
I made so many fonts though
all of them excellent
also a new one for the next mun pi ante toki
for sitelen pona?
nah
nah
I wouldn't, I don't really need more money
unless it's funds for organizing events, then money is useful
u could give me more money i kind of need some more money
true
i’m running out of instant ramen
and i have linja lipamanka plus that book

how good is that instant ramen?
that's important, I need to make sure you eat well
it’s the good stuff
and i have stuff i add to it like preserved meat and nuts and dried fruits and also dried veggies (well less of those)
sounds good
okay giv me mu y

i actually am a little bit of a fan of this change because I used to rely on tone tags
but also lipamanka you're always good about being clear about when you're joking jtlyk. you do a good job of it
Is it okay to do this /srs /j
Will there be an empty character for sentence separation? The padding of the characters seems too wide imo. Having it monospaced works well, but most of the glyphs are built tall, rather than wide or square, so it feels like their grid spaces ought to be more of a vertical rectangle. Even the widest characters wouldn't be super impacted by changing that geometry because their wideness would be compensated for naturally by the narrowness of most other characters. It may also resolve the perceived strangeness of the full space pi.
narrowing the glyphs would make the wide glyphs (like nimi) be Tiny though
ye i think so too
there will be a space yeah
but the spacing is staying the way it is

<@&811644330770301008> UCSUR support not including combining characters, but yes including middot and colon! also it's a ligature font and period -> middot, use () directly after pi or lon and put words inside it for extenders, and [] for cartouches (middot and colon supported in cartouches!)
if anyone wants one without ligatures I can send that too but I won't if people don't want that
@stable trench @dusk imp
sdfgghfsgf
it will fuck up your things lol
you won't be able to read anythign except toki pona
make sure to delete the ligature and single substitution feature files lol 👍
browser
should, yeah, works for other fonts
it's in UCSUR codepoints, so one is with cartouche extenders and one is without extenders
if the white one is ligatures then did you type in toki [ale] and pi(ale a)
yep
I haven't tested with the codepoints in the font sofware so idk about those but the ligature version should work because it works when I test it 
oh huh I tested it and it doesn't work 
I'll reload in a bit, just got home
okay hm
<@&811644330770301008> sorry about that this one should work better lol
thanks for the tests jan Ke Tami
I fixed it
loaded it wrong
it works
oh it works
works
doesn't work
uh
like
there is a workaround for non-opentype environment in UCSUR
pi extension
In case it's needed, these are:
F1911 SITELEN PONA IDEOGRAPH JAN
F1993 SITELEN PONA START OF LONG PI
F1997 SITELEN PONA START OF LONG GLYPH
F1954 SITELEN PONA IDEOGRAPH PONA
F1994 SITELEN PONA COMBINING LONG PI EXTENSION
F193C SITELEN PONA IDEOGRAPH MUTE
F1994 SITELEN PONA COMBINING LONG PI EXTENSION
F1998 SITELEN PONA END OF LONG GLYPH
sorry
no its fine i thought it was funny

last night i spent like an hour trying to install either betterdiscord or powercord so i could see the funny font
i did not see the funny font.
you can just use it on your computer it’s not just a discord thing
i mean i wanted to use it on discord
aw i’m sorry it didn’t work out then
yeah but i think i know what to do to get it to work once i'm able to try again
<@&587034472898101250> can you pin this and unpin the other one

it's just not working lol.
this is ANNOYING
no literally
so true
hell yeah i got the font to display on discord
your win ascent and descent values the difference beyween them they are too small i think
@stable trench D:
too lazy to see if anyone's brought this up, the cartouches go too far up for discord to render
actually everything's still too high up
ok so first thing ur gonna do
ur baseline is at the bottom of your bounding box
this is not ideal and will make your characters look like theyre floating
so pull them down a bit using commands
usually cjk types will have them near uh
hi i’m going to bed but i will follow these instructions tomorrow
hyperfixation switching from book to font
okay this is actually pretty helpful
OH
OH
@dusk imp we figured it out
it was my bad metrics
this was all the same problem
lol
typo ascender: top of default bounding box
typo descender: bottom of default bounding box
typo line gap: sensible line gap height, i would personally make this at least (win ascent+ -win descent)-(typo ascender+ -typodescender)
win ascent: maximum height, round up
win descent: maximum depth, round down (these two act as bounding metrics for rendering, so if you dont make them big enough glyphs will be cut out)
ascender, descender, line gap < same as typo metrics
cap height: adequate cap height
x height: adequate x height
random but. the "tonsi (D:)" makes your computer seem transphobic and that's very funny to me
ikr
i’m actually really transphobic fr

true as hell
no no its a :) with a big weird hat
okay with new metrics
round pi continues its reign...
round pi will be FIXED EVENTUALLY
😤
anyway <@&811644330770301008> new version of the font but I fixed the problems from before I think/hope
extra spiky pi when
pi kiki

wait nO
lol
i like it. did you give me malware.
yes
the opentype feature "rlig" is short for "removing loads in g-storage" which basically means that I'm removing everything in ur g storage on ur computer
whats a g storage
it’s where the computer’s hopes and dreams are
i cant let that happen
how did you do the nothing message
ah bruh i dont have ucsur on my phone
there’s also a certain link you can send that makes the message zero lines long
but it doesn’t work on mobile i think
a
Sounds like the stupid discord crap I've come to expect by now
hey can you send images with these @dusk imp
like you were doing before
bc I cannot see anythign klsjdflkj
@rough drum o silly question. for proper adjectives in a pi-phrase, have you ever thought about combining the lines from extended-pi and the bottom of the cartouche?
like this lmao
how it looks on my end
there will be a way to have smaller cartouches
ooh how do you get that to work?
i tried to fix this lol..
i think i need to autohint again that’s my problem
this will get fixed when i autohint
crimes against discord
[Reply to:](#1053850152932233266 message) ooh how do you get that to work?
safest way is to rename the font to something like Helvetica Neue which is one of discord's default fallback fonts
easiest (and still pretty safe) way is to install openasar and add it to the css

,,oh except that readme's outdated because it has whitney instead of gg sans
:D
why u should use linja lipamanka
has anyone ever done this for pilin pakala? because i feel like this is a good idea ^^
this is a very cute glyph for a very serious medical issue
i mean it can be heartbreak too not just heart attack
or something about mental health
I'd understand that
wouldn’t you have to make a unique glyph for each combination
like you did with the small ala mod
tho having a only few unique glyphs for pakala mod is fine
yes
literally came into this channel just now specifically to request this!!
i do it in my handwritten sp a lot (my pilin recently got pakala'd again and i toki pona about it a lot)
let me know if anything in the font is broken; otherwise I'm going to take a break from this project
because I am getting Too Stressed lol
lape pona
yay anti lexicalization
pakala pona >:)
wow I completely forgot that lape can mean rest
this was someone's headnoun at some point iirc. iki I think
@stable trench whenever I open up linja lipamanka on my mac in textedit it does not take up a full line
this is what my metrics are rn
do you think there might be other problems somewhere else
never mind I fixed
it
I checked "use typo metrics for line spacing"
not sure if there's a difference between these files honestly but this one works I can tell you that much
@white cove period -> middot, colon is monowidth and works inside of cartouches and also outside of cartouches. question marks and exlimation marks are not zero width tho. what specifically do you need in order to use my font on your website? I can set up the opentype features exactly how you want them
i just got 4 pings from 4 different people at once lmao
- support for the nimi pu + nimi ku suli
- support for a handful of basic combinations (i use toki+pona and linja+suwi if i remember correctly)
- support for cartouches
- replace ending punctuation(
.?!:;-) with a full width space (middot is good too)- ... don't do that inside a cartouche so that
:works
- ... don't do that inside a cartouche so that
- replace non-ending punctuation (i think just
,) with a zero width space
also i am not changing the font right away, to be clear, bc i wanna finish up the main lessons and get reviews of the whole project before i change more significant things
but at that point i'm also planning to split the questions lesson into two parts, for example, and work on a story component to go alongside the entire series of lesson
lol
- all pu and ku suli are supported
- oops those are kind of hard to make and I haven't done that yet.. is there any reason why you need that? or also where do you use it
- supports cartouches!
- ye sounds good
- yeah I just gotta make the substitution order change so that if : doesn't become the cartouche version, it becomes a space instead. very easy actually
- very doable
if you're not planning on switching yet the I can just put this off more tbh
awesome!
for #2 in particular, i actually don't use it directly in a Big lesson tbh
i use it right in the opening lesson when introducing sitelen pona, to demonstrate what you could see and suggest that sp has more variety
i literally don't use it again tho, lmao
but also, i don't use sitelen kalama except for in its own lesson
it's a nice-to-have
ok i expect it to be on my desk in the morning /j
when do you think you'd want to change the font, assuming that it could meet all of your expectations
like time estimate
mid february? mid february is what i'm thinking
tbh I can have it done by then
wawa
bezier curven't
I DON'T AHVE A CHOICE
you can't like. make a font.
and have it like
not use bezier curves
unless you have a bitmap font or something
and I am NOT GOING TO MAKE ONE OF THOSE
contour: one who conts
I meant more that this contour wasn't very bezierish
Bézier lump
the Béziest curve around
how about you fix your curves instead

expect combining glyphs soonish

ooh… i'm combining just thinking about it
lol
adding another request that of course I'll also pay for - but you'll have to see if you can or want to deal with integrating colours into the font:
extendable pride flags
I'm thinking of
- rainbow
- trans
- enby
- ace
- add others so I can pay you more 😛
Hmmm I might have to pay you twice, actually, because that'd mean creating a fallback for b/w
right?
wait you want pride flags???
i mean okay!
based??? ally?
I want colourful images to look at 😛
You're so cool
still cishet tho … (joke)
https://discord.gg/yfKTezXv?event=1069664220884504586 look how cool it is
is there some kind of document for all the features currently in/planning on being added to the font?
good font
no not yet
it really is
I think the next thing I want to implement actually is multidirectional ni
at least right facing ni
because I feel myself wanting to use it so badly
no seriously
Have you added in the sowelin soweis sowelie and soweliw kind of things with directional eyes?
Are you going to?
no idea maybe
would ni: ligature as →
yes
if you want to use a colon you can do ni : instead
ah I love this
mi wile tawa ma Iju Si Sanelu
actually wait
better

ni> would also do this - and ni< would face the opposite way, ni^ would face up
nivty
there should be a ni that faces the person looking at the screen
bc of the nature of the cases where ni would be used it would be pretty easy to tell where the sentence breaks are I think? so it might be completely acceptable to just not use any sentence separators in that part of a text even if there are some in use in other parts of the texxt
amazing
also re: colors, not sure if it'd be possible without making my font a "color font"
it could be
Disagree
jan <ni li lukin e ijo ni> lon tomo
this is what I meant
I feel that this would be interpreted fine
I mean in general it seems that sitelen pona is very readable without sentence separators
It's more effort to read though
And there are specific things I would confuse too often, such as taso modifier at the end of a sentence vs sentence initial taso
it's more effort to read though
have you tried?
Yeah I can technically do it
Let me rephrase
There are these things that I have confused in the past, both in Latin and in sp
I guess I'm not used to garden pathing so much in toki pona
I should write a story that tells 2 different things depending on where you place punctuation
nice idea
I have so many letters from so many places in my home. Which do you want? Tell me, who I belong to you, which letter you want. Thus I will give all the requested letters
Please, you, oh, you, feel well where you are, far as you are
o toki e lipu wile tawa mi sina
ni la mi pana e lipu ale wile
sina a o weka pona a
All these books that talk about so many countries shall lessen your need to travel to far-off lands
ni la mi pana e lipu ale
wile tawa sina a o weka pona a

I can't parse this or what it's trying to translate
what part? or all of it?
oh wait
never mind I get it
I think that because both of yours kinda sound like nonsense that should clue you on to the fact that you got the sentence boundaries wrong slkdfjlskj
hm I might write some of that
the context and the style/rhythm is pretty strong that these weren't meant like that, though
The "tell me, who I belong to you, which letter you want" I think is kind of weird and it wouldn't be hard to read it differently
that's Egnlish's fault
I want to keep writing fun things and see how good I can get this
mi sina should be perfectly fine
not to nitpick your english but I would say "tell me, who belongs to you," because "who I belong to you" reads as ungrammatical in english
not that either are used that often
mi sina is perfectly fine but I would expect people reading this to bracket it differently even if no bracketing for sentences is given
boxing in toki pona grumble grumble : D
supa Lipamanpaka?
a dot completes a mora
anpa without a dot is already a
yeah anpa with one dot will still just have the first mora
ok, if you use it that way
is that a weird way to use it
it's something that I stumbled over at the beginning, but apparently, if a mora is a vowel, it doesn't count as a dot
can you link me to the original thing
... sitelenkalamashort
#9251 📣 A writing system for proper names in sitelen pona, using moras!
- This goes with the pu system, where symbols read by their first letter. You can mix these systems!
- A mora is like a syllable, but ends at the vowel because -n is a mora! na n pa
- Each dot (
·) completes the next mora. [anpa] → [anpa · ] → [anpa · · ] - Colons (
:) add the whole word. [kepeken] → [kepeken · ] → [kepeken · · ] → [kepeken · · · ] → [kepeken : ] - Everything is equally spaced, dots and colons too!

is it in there?
oh I see
#8505 📣 nasin sitelen kalama
nasin sitelen kalama is a set of tweaks to the way that names are written in sitelen pona. it aims to make the syllabic writing that many use - where they might write jan Lonka as ⟨jan [lon kala]⟩ - more readable in the context of normal sitelen pona usage. it relies on a moraic analysis of toki pona (see ... mora), and works as follows:
- single sitelen pona glyphs are read as they would normally be, with only the first sound being spoken. ⟨ijo [awen]⟩ on its own is read as ijo A.
- when a single dot* follows a glyph, the first mora is spoken. if said glyph starts with a vowel, the second mora is spoken as well. ⟨jan [anpa ·]⟩ and ⟨jan [moli · nasa · ]⟩ are read as jan An and jan Mona respectively.
- further dots mean subsequent morae are read. ⟨jan [kepeken · ]⟩, ⟨jan [kepeken · · ]⟩, and ⟨jan [kepeken · · · ]⟩ are read as jan Ke, jan Kepe, and jan Kepeke respectively
- when a colon** follows a glyph, the whole word is read. this is not required, multiple dots may be used instead, but recommended for longer words. ⟨soweli [olin : sina · ]⟩ is read as soweli Olinsi
*usually a fullwidth mid-dot such as 「・」, but other fullwidth solutions such as 「。/」 may also be used
**also fullwidth, 「:」
huh that's not the way it was originally worded either, because I think it was more ambiguous
