Math Font
« 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.

Spoiler For IMPORTANT NEWS!:
Late last night, Quebec was invaded by a group calling themselves, "Omnimaga". Not much is known about these mysterious people except that they all carried calculators of some kind and they all seemed to converge on one house in particular. Experts estimate that the combined power of their fabled calculators is greater than all the worlds super computers put together. The group seems to be holding out in the home of a certain DJ_O, who the Omnimagians claim to be their founder. Such power has put the world at a standstill with everyone waiting to see what the Omnimagians will do...

Wait... This just in, the Omnimagians have sent the UN a list of demands that must be met or else the world will be "submitted to the wrath of Netham45's Lobster Army". Such demands include >9001 crates of peanuts, sacrificial blue lobsters, and a wide assortment of cherry flavored items. With such computing power stored in the hands of such people, we can only hope these demands are met.

In the wake of these events, we can only ask, Why? Why do these people make these demands, what caused them to gather, and what are their future plans...

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.
