It's the beginning of my weekend,I've got lots of displacement activities to do, edit a book, typeset another, reformat a third once it's been proofread, put the washing away, go into Derby do some things, so, I thought, put all of them off, even though I've got to be back here by noon, and put together a film poster-like thing - sort of, that has elements of: the stupid 'feelgood' film thing that the US seems to put out every summer; stupid names in film production; try out a monolinear font of mine in various widths; and, add a hint of Dr Strangelove, all keeping it below 800x800px and 120kB.

it's called 'Gurvetica' and you want it from the Billie siteIt comes in a number of widths and weights.
You don't want the 'A' set of fonts, you want the others. The 'A' set has Gurmukhi alphabet characters in the ASCII range whereas the others have the Roman characters in the roman range.
The full set - currently 48 has loads of widths and weights so you can type in your text, choose the height you want (point size on your editor, the same as you do now), select the font width (these are in groups by number) and then select the weight to give you the right density/legibility.
The font's name is: [family][width][weight]description so that it appears in whatever program you are using (word processor, images editor and so on) - this overcomes inconsistencies between programs, some of which group fonts together and you never see the weights other than normal and bold.
There is a 'lite' font pack set with 28 fonts in it that cover the full range but with less density. Look at www.billie.grosse.is-a-geek.com/resources-03a.html around half way down the page where there is a diagram of it all.
(BTW, in the font sample images at the bottom, 'ਤੁਹਾਡਾ ਕੀ ਨਾਂ ਹੈ?' means 'what is your name?')
Happy fonting.
