This font was developed for the webcomic Swords. It is made freely available under an open-source license for your use.
The only thing requested is that you give attribution when using the font:
SwordsII.ttf by Matthew Wills (https://www.mjwills.com/) and Thane Brimhall (https://github.com/pennomi)
You probably don't want to develop this font yourself. Just click here to download the .ttf
file now!
The Swords.ttf
file is an older version of the font, which was made before we knew how to do things better. The new font SwordsII-Regular.ttf
is different enough that it breaks backwards compatibility, so we decided to create a new version altogether.
To add more glyphs or submit fixes to the font, you'll need FontForge.
Once you have that installed, fork the repository, clone it, and open up SwordsII-Regular.sfd
.
You can adjust individual glyphs or add some new ones! FontForge is pretty crazy sometimes, but there's decent documentation online for the adventurous.
Once you've made changes, send a pull request into GitHub, and we'll review the merge.
Try using the Dagger glyph (†), the Crossed Swords glyph (⚔), and the Generic Currency glyph (¤).
