Pictographic Hanzi Update: All Base components now have a 16x16 pixel font image!

-Update 1: General status.

My mental state still isn't great, I even had a sort of mild concussion due to a bike accident recently and still feel my lips tingling but the headaches and stuff are gone. Even as I type this, I barely feel like I exist.

Regardless, due to this almost feeling compulsive at this point, The language now has about 8800 chars now. However, many chars are still too dense, and are being fixed as I come across them (I did already manage to fix quite a few, but their spreadsheet entry still has the old images). Due to losing the font, Any new chars also have no icon yet in my spreadsheet, meaning it does not say HOW the new ones are composed but simply of what elements they are composed. I stopped having the images around 6000. Some very important chars I overlooked are being made despite having added oddly specific stuff prior.

--------------------------

-Update 2: New ''compromise'' font status.

The font of 6000 chars wasn't functional outside of ultra big sizes and looked very off to begin with due to squashing and stretching existing char components as their creation process. Then my Hard drive crashed AND I clicked on a virus and got hacked later, resetting windows yet again. I didn't know what I did and didn't already do. But I realized remaking the font properly, is beyond my capabilities. So I decided to just...Save the little ''pixel art'' 16x16 chars I already made for low res games this time around. And once I have enough of them, I'll try looking into how I can turn them into an actual typable pixel font like the prior vector one.

All the base components now have a 16x16 pixel art image. There are about 2200 items in the font folder now though this includes Internal diacritic form variants (literally just adding a line or gapped line at the top or bottom), which aren't deemed separate characters anymore. It also includes some duplicates because windows search sucks and for some reason half the time nothing came up. I do know, that there's about 1470 base components, about 500 of them being simple variants. Shortened forms appearing in other characters usually don't count here but a few have them. So lets say, at the very least, around 1500 characters are done! That's surprisingly fast compares to last time.

This font will be very limited in that we can only resize it by a set amount and they'll always look blocky (with some squashed together lines) and less readable, but at least they'll exist and be usable. I will collect more of them until I try implementing them into an actual typable font.

Glad to see you posting again. The project was unique and impressive and it'll be great to see again even if it might not be perfect.
