I have recently started designing a new face and I've come quite a long way so I've decided to go all out. I'm looking for a resource of type knowledge to apply as I complete the details.
I have a list of panagrams I plan on using to check my characters weights and balances against one another with.
Should I just leave myself to the Western 1252 Characters?
Anyone know of a quick list that details the name and usage of the entire character map? Similar to http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/agf… but without having to click each character for details.
Is there a list of the top 26-144 letter combinations? such as Th, th, St, st, mm, nn, ss, ff, rs, etc? (Or even better, on the programming side, is there a way to examine a body of text and report back the top 50 or whatever most used 2 letter combinations?)
Along the same lines, what other words could I take care of as well? Like; as, the, of, on, off, with, open, closed, etc...
What's the optical illusion that requires the O's & S's to be enlarged slightly?
And please feel free to add anything else you think I might be overlooking.
Thanks
