Preview images of what had changed

Samples provided, as additional images because it's really, really hard to convey even with a complete understanding of font terminology what improvements are actually made and it's too much to fit here ideally without cluttering this page. GitHub page soon to receive a revamp. Not everything is included.

Name change

So some important information about the future of this project: I had submitted my initial fixes of the small letter glyphs to Compliance team, which means hopefully these changes trickle down to Vanilla Tweaks in future. I'll be in touch with VT to see if they'll update their Smoother Font package.

This doesn't mean I'm done. I want to make sure there isn't an x64 font from Compliance first*, if there is, implement my changes there and further improvements are to come for this project over time. Compliance are the guys that made this font pack after all, not Vanilla Tweaks — VT is solely a distributor. This is a good project to procrastinate on as I contemplate what to do with my other stuff anyway, so expect better from me and my future works.

There is, but x64 only has ASCII and SGA.

While Compliance did make this work, the various changes I've been making to it is further deviating from the original content, so maybe I should call this the Non-Compliance Font. Jokes aside, there will be more where this came from.

Intent

Resolves some issues with the Smoother Font texture pack from Vanilla Tweaks. Specifically:

• Reintroduces into nonlatin-european glyphs for small cap letters — Test: ᴀʙᴄᴅᴇꜰɢʜɪᴊᴋʟᴍɴᴏᴘꞯʀꜱᴛᴜᴠᴡxʏᴢ
  Side note: Wikipedia has a compendium for most of these Latin letters available here.
  Side note 2: Small capital Q doesn't render in almost any font, but Minecraft can use it.
  Side note 3: Soon-to-be-resolved in Compliance.
• Edits small cap glyphs so ʏ has a slightly taller split, ᴀ has a couple more pixels rounding the inside
• Q and ꞯ have a bigger tail going inside of the glyph, which improves readability
• ᴍ and ᴡ have slightly taller middle stems
• All changes to small cap letters in nonlatin-european also apply to circle letters in accented
• Made ⓪ more closely resemble Ⓞ so the circle-enclosed zero looks exactly like a target
  Side note: If glyphs do not render due to lacking browser font support, see the "Archery enthusiasts" image.
• It 100% doesn't suck

Changelog

Update e2401

• Fixed all of the A's. Every single one of them Resolved in e2440
  
• Updated pack.png to also include improved ᴀ
• Copyright, registered trademark and whatever that circle-e symbol is have consistent face width Revised: e2440
• Small 6 and small 9 have an extra pixel at the tail wherever I saw it to match the one instance I saw of this
• Alternative nonlatin-european glyphs for "Black" dice and number dice are available in GitHub (visit altAssets)

Update e2430

• Added fix for Ꝺ
  
• More dice selections in GitHub — Rounded normal and number selections (-round suffix)
  Side note: most numbers are clipped to better fit within the "Round" shape.
• Option for replacing ascii with a variant which includes a slanted # symbol (-slantHash suffix)

Update e2440

• Actually modified all of the A's this time — Æ and the like only has the left side of the glyph modified Revised AGAIN: e2450
  
• Further modified copyright and registered trademark, slight addition to information symbol.
• Found some Q-alike character that was one pixel shorter in nonlatin-european, didn't extend the tail to the inside because I wasn't quite sure what it was.

Update e2450 The serifening

• q and p, b and d, u and n (normal latin, not CJK-made serif latin) have improved serifs, m and w lose their tails in favour of being more curvy and reflections of each other. g and y have a little more detail. Not all foreign characters edited due to uncertainty of intended appearance. I need your help please provide assistance with this!
  
• Fancy pound symbol! Britian rejoice!
• For the love of God there are way too many things with A the world uses.

Update e300 Many questions

• Where have I been? Don't ask I modified the non-existent symbol so the question mark is one pixel shorter
• What have I been doing? Don't bother I modified all question marks to have straight tails, as originally intended by Compliance.
• Why do I bother? Don't care I made interrobangs (‽, ⸘) appear more distinct, while sticking with Compliance's theme.
• How hadn't you bothered to update anything until now? Why do you care, I added another pixel to double question (⁇) Revised: e310
• When are you going to update again? Who knows I just released this to be 1:1 with other changes by Compliance.
• Oh, also added other slight changes to filled-in flag and added alternate accented bitmaps in altAssets for different style ballot boxes.

Update e310 Four small changes

• Modified the number 4. See images. Revised: e312
  
• Modified ④ and ⑭ to match.
• Modified ⅘ to match, 1-numerator fractions are consistent with ⅒ Revised: e341
• Modified ⁇ to similar effect. See images.
• Okay you got me I stretched the truth a little bit.

Update e312 The little things we forget

• In my haste I had forgotten to fix ߈.
  
• Act first, forgive later: I've decided without user intervention to make 4 and 7 appear curved
• ASCII 6 and 9 are modified to be consistent with small numbers.
• Small number 2 in all sheets have a right-angle tail at the end, just like ASCII.
• Small numbers are consistent across multiple sheets now.
  
• Variations use consistent appearance for 4 and 2.

Update e340 V for Vendetta

• I noticed the V symbol was less distinguish with my changes, reverting that…
• … as well a whole heap of changes in ascii.png which I neglected to undo before committal.

Update e341 Pixel diet

• Shaved off a couple of pixels for % and ; Revised: e400
• Forgot some pixels for the fractions in some NLE sheets, resolved.
• Adjusted spacing and realigned the colons (;, ;), Centred tilde (~).

Update e400 Fractional changes

• Modified all fractions to appear exactly like the percent family
  
• Made %, ‰ (per-mille) and ‱ (per-myriad) use the same zero throughout
• Modified & (Ampersand / And per-se) to use the more primitive "et" variant.
• Slightly modified $ (Dollar) to be different from s.
• Modified ©, ® and whatever that circle-enclosed small e (can't reproduce) to be filled, using glyphs similar to circle-enclosed variants.
• Modified all numerals (except for 1, 2 and 5).and things in other bitmaps related to them.
• Modified R and K so they appear similar to X. See images.
• Modified small R's to use a straight tail rather than a curved one.
• Resolved an oopsie on Github where I made the number dice NLE alt use default dice.
• Fixed the upside-down V's so that's basically Vendetta part 2.

Update e420 B for Bendetta

• V part 3 — more V's fixed
• Missed a glyph in the R family, fixed that.
• Modified symbols in the S family — Please comment if these changes are incorrect!
• Fixed some logical reasoning errors where I erased bits of NLE by accident
• Modified B — this also required I shortened the stroke in Ƀ (Latin capital stroked B)

Update e460 I forgor 💀

• There were several characters with the letter R (or variants thereof) I had edited in NLE and accented
• I also did some other characters too? Look, I forgot okay?
  

  Check my GitHub and compare against for me, I also don't have time as I am writing this!
  

• 1-bit indexed all images, also like I should had done ages ago

How to install

If you already have Smoother Fonts from Vanilla Tweaks, drop in your pack and disable GUI > Smoother Font. Redownload and replace your current instance. Else, just place this pack above Vanilla Tweaks if not removing Smoother Font.

Afterward, just place in your game directory's resource packs, enable it and enjoy slightly better text.

Make it better!

Visit the alternate download link and see what else you think needs fixing. If I like your changes, improvements will be made! Since we're dealing with just images, it might help to inverse select around your work and invert the colour of surrounding glyphs you had not modified so what you changed is abundantly evident.
