An amazing thing, given the author is Spanish speaker I really miss the ñ Ñ. But I guess his answer is going to be, you can make those yourself!

I tried to do that, and now I’m just confused. The included glyph for the lower case n doesn’t actually fit the grid, so you can’t seem to replicate it. But also that grid doesn’t have enough resolution to do the tilde. Maybe I’m missing something?

  • Yeah, there are some sort of shenanigans going on in the editor. The premade letters use a finer grid than what the editor lets you work with.

    It's most obvious with O, {, & and # which are impossible to draw with the grid that's presented to you.

    • Noticed that on desktop, the real grid, including the "half points" is shown and you can actually work with it. So it might just be a problem with the mobile version.

  • Enter a N or n into the Editing box, you'll see the two grids that make the glyph up along with a blank third grid on the bottom, add a small tilde in the top two rows. Or copy and paste the actual Ñ or ñ characters into the Editing box to create it new, and you can use it immediately with the alphabet textbox on the left.

    • The editor doesn’t understand ñ and you can’t make a tilde because it requires a minimum of four points of width.

    • Yes, and those glyphs don’t fit the grid. Try to redraw the n from the original font yourself. You can’t, because you can’t add points between the grid dots.
