Hello everyone!
As David wrote, I plan to include more chess pieces in future versions of
my font Quivira. In order to do that sensefully, I need some input
· what characters are useful at all
· which ones are most important (I probably won’t be able to do all at
once, so I’ll have to set priorities)
· how to group / order them sensefully.
At the moment, I tend to define two new blocks:
Chess Symbols Extended-A with rotated and/or combined pieces
Chess Symbols Extended-B with all the rest.
Which pieces are needed in a rotated or mirrored variant? Does this
distinction make sense at all?
In a comment on the Quivira page, Charles Gilman mentioned knighted and
camelled pieces. Which pieces can be combined in such a way?
Kind regards,
Alexander Lange
