In the image on the right, you can see two variants of the drop-shadow: the shaped variant and the uniform thickness variant. each part of the character has this or variants of it done to it, similar to the way that a painter would add a shadow by painting around the character. However, it is not a straight 'zoom' either. You can see from the image on the left with the two aerdas in it, the difference between the drop-shadow that you would produce merely by copying the text down and to the right because the left side of the character extends downwards to form the shadow, the right side goes to the right and the bottom-right travels down and to the right. In addition to the style of the font - which stands up as well without any extras - there are two other components to it: a drop shadow (two variants) that has more to it than just the basic type you can make with your image editor and, a small border (again, two variants) which you can use to help to define the edge of characters when you are using certain colour combinations of shadow and character. GHP Full is a Gurmukhi display font that covers both the UniCode Gurmukhi range and also places Gurmukhi characters in the ASCII range so it is compatible with systems or programs that are not quite as advanced as those that are able to use UniCode.įor those who don't know, the Punjabi word for 'flower' is 'Full' - hence this font's overall style - that of decorative, hand-painted semi-permanent signs such as those you might find for shops or outside buildings advertising regular or important events. These signs are painted by Amarjit Singh of Amritsar - the sign is signed at the bottom left with 'ਅਮਰਜੀਤ ਸਿੰਘ ਪੇਂਟਰ ASR.' - 'Painter' being the occupation rather than the family name. Then you have to do some programming to make it work in various contexts (such as which version of an adhak to use under certain circumstances, for instance), then you have to test it as exhaustively as you can and finally, produce any images and other information that will make choosing it and using it a better experience for the person whose computer it is going to end up on.Īs far as real, permenant signs go, you are better off getting the real thing made for you by someone who knows what they are doing. First of all, you need to define a set of rules such as the positions of horizontal lines, the widths of lines, radius of curvature, how certain features repeat themselves or versions of themselves between letters and you have to make up any shortfall of letters supplied and modify any of the letters so that they fit the rules. The process of making a font is not as simple as copying a set of letters, it is far more involved than that. He then contacted me, early in 2013, suggesting that I should consider making a font of the lettering - he had managed to photograph almost all of the letters and so the process of turning it into a font began and here is the result. Later that year, a friend of his, Hardeep Singh Mann, also from Vienna, Austria, went there and took more photogaphs of similar signs in and around the area, including the lower of the two, which is from the Gurduara Patal Puri in Kiratpur Sahib, five or six miles south-east of Anandpur Sahib. There are many styles of writing/painting letters but many of them are not that dissimilar to the standard way of writing letters and if you wanted to produce some images with such writing on, all you need to do is use one of those.Įarly in 2012, Tajinder Singh from Vienna, Austria, posted onto Facebook a photograph that he had taken of a sign from the Takht Sri Keshgarh Sahib, Anandpur Sahib in the Rupnagar district of Punjab, India (the first of the two photographs on the right). Sign-writing is just as important in India as it is anywhere else and the processes involved in painting Roman/Latin letters works just as well on Gurmukhi letters in the Punjab.
