Legacy Font

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.

Contributing

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.

Easter Eggs

Try using the Dagger glyph (†), the Crossed Swords glyph (⚔), and the Generic Currency glyph (¤).
