-One of my favourite music artists, [Jaron](https://youtu.be/GXvqQ5-P82I), released his album LIGHTYEARS a little over a year ago. For his visuals, he uses a variety of symbols in place of Latin letters, and there's a converter on [his website](https://jaronsteele.com/) too. Only problem is that my browser can't seem to display most of the characters because the characters aren't included in most fonts. That's why I made a font! It allows you to type Latin characters from `A-Z` as well as numbers `0-9` and `!?` in the LIGHTYEARS style.

-[Download the font here](https://files.natconf.dev/public/lightyears.woff2). It's in the web-optimised `woff2` format and has most characters stripped to minimise its file size – it's less than 20 kilobytes in size! Uppercase and lowercase letters are the same. People can 'decrypt' text by copy-pasting it somewhere else! \ No newline at end of file +The font exclusively uses characters from the Noto font family. Many of the Noto varieties have been stitched together to recreate the whole LIGHTYEARS alphabet. + +To create the font, I used [FontForge](https://fontforge.org). Finding this tool was both a blessing and a curse, as it was exactly what I needed, but it kept. crashing. all. the. time. I tried both the AppImage as well as the release on `dnf` and both had the same issues. I managed to make it work, but it took a lot of patience. Eventually I figured out that importing Noto Maths gave me a 3-8 second window before the editor crashed. The project file would forget the imported font, but if I had copied any glyphs it would keep those. + +## Usage + +The font is in the web-optimised `woff2` format and has most characters stripped to minimise its file size – it's less than 20 kilobytes in size! Uppercase and lowercase letters are the same. + +For use on your website, put the font into your resources/static/similar folder and then add this block of code to your CSS file: + +
+@font-face {
+    font-family: "LIGHTYEARS";
+    src: url("/fonts/lightyears.woff2");
+    font-weight: 400;
+    font-style: normal;
+}
+
+ +Then you can change any element's font by setting `font-family: 'LIGHTYEARS', sans-serif;`. Because it's the Latin characters and Arabic numbers that have been changed, you can type text in regular English and people can 'decrypt' the messages by copy-pasting the text somewhere else! + +You do **not** need Jaron's converter to type stylised text!
