Ever wanted to type in the enchantment table language? Well now you can, as Monocraft v4.1 adds the Standard Galactic Alphabet (which is what the enchantment glyphs are based on)! These magical letters aren't part of the normal alphabet, instead they use a special codepoint range specified here. That means you are going to have to do some finagling to get it to work, but I've got the instructions for you down below!

Also, I've recently made a discord for Monocraft and all of my other projects! Join here to follow along, get updates, and help beta test pre-release builds: https://discord.gg/uUtRgC8gd8

How to write like an enchantment table

1. Go to this site: https://cryptii.com/pipes/alphabetical-substitution
2. Replace the "ciphertext alphabet" with this (don't worry that it looks like boxes): 
3. Type whatever you want in the leftmost text box, and it will be converted to galactic text in the right box (but it will still look like boxes for now)
4. Copy the output text to your editor with Monocraft and watch the magic!

Here's some Lorem Ipsum text so you can see it in action!

Lastly, thank you to @Dheatly23 for fixing monospacing in ligatures as well as to @Wolodia-M for adding some glyphs!

Thanks to the fantastic work of @Dheatly23, Monocraft now supports bold and italics natively! Their code adds multiple weights including lighter and bolder weights so you can customize Monocraft's appearance to your liking!

Since Monocraft now includes multiple weights, installation has changed. The best way to install Monocraft is to use the Monocraft.ttc file included in this (and future) releases! This is just a bundle of the TTF files for each weight in one nice package. If you'd rather install the fonts individually (or need to use the OTF for whatever reason), download the Monocraft-ttf-otf.zip file instead and unzip it for the separate files. Thanks again to @Dheatly23 for their wonderful work!

Thanks to the brilliant work of @dantaeusb and @Ciubix8513, Monocraft now has over 1500+ glyphs and continuous ligatures! I mean look at this:

@dantaeusb has added almost 1000 characters to the glyph set, bringing the total number of characters to 1455! Most of these include characters from non-European languages and a number of these characters are not monospaced.
@Ciubix8513 has enabled the use of continuous ligatures! With her contributions, you can now type arrows and lines up to 30 characters long (which seems excessive, but hey who am I to judge?).

Since this release contains so many new characters, there's always a chance that a bug slipped through the cracks. Please report any issues through the repo's "Issues" tab and make any comments in the discussion down below. Thanks once again to all the amazing people that have built and improved this font!

What's Changed

• Extend characters with European non-latin set by @dantaeusb in #105
• Added continuous ligatures by @Ciubix8513 in #116
• V3 by @IdreesInc in #125

New Contributors

• @dantaeusb made their first contribution in #105

Full Changelog: v2.5...v3.0

P.S. As a side project, I spent a few days making a vectorized version of Monocraft called Miracode, feel free to beta test it and let me know what you think!

@dantaeusb has added almost 1000 characters to the glyph set, bringing the total number of characters to 1455! Most of these include characters from non-European languages and a number of these characters are not monospaced. There is still work to be done to ensure that the generated characters that can be modified to be monospaced are modified as needed. It is my opinion that it is better to have the non-monospaced characters rather than nothing, but if you believe the font should be purely monospaced feel free to comment that and we can discuss. For now, this release will be a beta, but please feel free to install it and help out by reporting any issues or comments!

What's Changed

• Extend characters with European non-latin set by @dantaeusb in #105

Thanks to the amazing work of @Dheatly23, adjacent pixels are now merged meaning that you should no longer see tiny gaps between "pixels" when viewing the font in certain software.

Was able to significantly improve the look and feel of Monocraft by adding "half pixels" to letters like "i" and "t" to center them within their bounds. Also check out Monocraft's page on itch.io, and be sure to Star this repository if you found it useful!

Full Changelog: v2.0...v2.1

Monocraft has officially graduated to version 2.0! The font is now generated via a script rather than being hand-drawn, meaning that it is significantly easier to add new glyphs and make changes. And with the help of @Ciubix8513, we have added hundreds of additional characters bringing the total number of glyphs to over 500! Also, .ttf and .otf files are now generated automatically, meaning you can pick and choose which format to use.
