About Rockets font

Rockets, a font by John Stracke, www.thibault.org/fonts/ .

This is a font meant to evoke space travel. I started with a capital A based on the shape of a 1950s rocket, and went from there. The capital O is the Earth; the lowercase o is the Moon; the lowercase c is a crescent moon...and many other characters are based on those
four.

The font has 757 characters (including some duplicates and some characters which are used only as accents for other characters): all of ASCII, Latin-1, Latin Extended A, about a third of Latin Extended B, Latin Extended Additional, plus a bunch of punctuation characters. If you find that some character from your language is not quite right, please be kind; the only languages I've known are Latin, English, Spanish, and German, which means that most of the letters outside ASCII are new to me. It has a Euro symbol.

Where the LGPL refers to "source code", I take that to refer to the file called Rockets.sfd, which is a file for editing with FontForge (see fontforge.sourceforge.net), an outline font editor program.
