DSEG Font Family

Modified version of keshikan's fantastic digital segment display font

Entire glyph list (warning, large image at end)

Changes:

• Added Cyrillic alphabet (uppercase only for now)

• Added Greek alphabet (uppercase only for now)

• Copied Latin letters to accented Latin (no changes {for now?})

• Moved some punctuation marks to (in my opinion) more sensible locations

  (this was done as i found myself writing of lot of str.replace(" ", "!"))

  • " " - u0020: now the same width as the characters, taking the place of Exclam
  • ; - u003B: now the blank alternative to :, taking the place of Space
  • ! - now lower colon dot, taking the place of Hash/Octothorpe (mirroring ¡, upper colon dot)
  • # - now fully filled character, taking the place of tilde
  • ~ - now duplicate of hyphen

• Added some auxiliary Latin letters

  • Æ, æ - u00C6, u00E6
  • Œ, œ, - u0152, u0153
  • Ð, ð - u00D0, u00F0
  • Ø, ø - u00D8, u00F8
  • ß - u00DF

• Added/changed various less significant punctuation marks:

  • ¶ (pilcrow)
  • ¢ (cent mark)
  • ₩ (won sign)

• Changed the form of some characters

  (keshikan's version available at uFF10 – uFF5E, fullwidth latin block)

  • S - u0053: reverted to older form

  • " - u0022: changed to vertical (caron form is available at u21E9, downwards white arrow)

  • i - u0069: added tittle

  • j - u006A: changed form, added tittle

  • w - u0077: changed to rounded form

additionally, changed to semantic versioning system, as i find that easier to deal with
