Group;

What do you guys do when you have to use Roman Numerals on a project?
I see a bunch of all of these crazy special characters and not one Roman Numeral.

Never mind dumb question.

My Architext capital "I" font doesn't have the T&B horizontal; so it looked funny to me and I had to add line work for the font to appeal proper.

Why don't you create another text style using something like TImes New Roman that has serifs that look like Roman Numerals?

Thanks David!

How did you modify the font?
I want to have the missing stacked fractions for the Architxt font.
Can the software you used to modify the font create new stacked fractions?
I really appreciate the Architxt (narrow) version.
I gather you were able to create that one.

I used this program http://www.high-logic.com/download.html

For the narrow version I just scaled all the letters .8 on the x axis

You can create new stacked fractions quite easily (I just tried) just create a new character and copy/paste the 1/ then paste in the 8 (for 1/8) and scale it down 50% or so....it's a very easy program to learn
