And & +

Using Nick Shinn’s Handsome font family was fine until I needed an ampersand. He had a modified + and I really wanted an &. Using elements of existing characters as the basis, and compiling in Fontographer, I spent a little while on it. Character mapping is a real pain, but only because I don’t really understand how to assign keystrokes. For now, since I don’t want to get rid of any of the original characters, & is written with alt+f. I might need to fiddle with the kerning. Or maybe I should get on with something I really need to do. Like getting three books to my editor by tomorrow…
