11/13/2022 0 Comments Most used geez font![]() ![]() ![]() Since you're doing a holy book, you probably want someone who's familiar with the tradition of religious books in Ethiopia, no? However, the truly reliable way to get really well-set Ethiopic type is to have someone who is competent in the language do the typesetting. If you can't find a really good one, I can't recommend one I think that Bitstream made one back in the day, and you might try looking at SIL. Try to separate "the Amharic equivalent of Times or Courier" into two chunks: "The Ethiopic type style suitable to a holy book" and "the Ethiopic font that is of this style, and is a well-made font." I'm not telling you that you don't need a professional font as with Latin-script fonts, the kerning/letterspacing/glyphset/etc. So, in essence, the plain-vanilla newsreader font for Ethiopic languages - their Courier - is actually an appropriate face for setting a Bible. Related to illuminated manuscripts from nine hundred years ago. GF Zemen is obviously closely related to ancient Ge'ez manuscripts in a way that Courier is obviously Five hundred years separate the Gutenberg Bible and Courier far more time separates early Ge'ez manuscripts and fonts like GF Zemen, but there's much less variance in the style of the face. I'm genuinely not trying to be smarmy here I'm just pointing out that the assumptions you are making w/r/t typeface and Bible-appropriateness are not entirely accurate when considering Amharic text. (Most? you might have found an ugly ultra-modern one.) That calligraphic style used in the design of those fonts is directly descended from the actual handwritten Ge'ez manuscripts. Remember those free Ge'ez fonts you downloaded? Note the calligraphic style that is common to all of them. Why is that? Well, over the last two thousand or so years, there have been around 70 different languages written in the Ge'ez script, which we script-jockeys tend to call "Ethiopic." The script is called Ge'ez because the language is also called Ge'ez it's the liturgical language of more than one Ethiopian church. You'll probably have an easier time if you search for Ge'ez fonts, and Ethiopic fonts, as well. Well, you know what? Go and download a few free Amharic fonts. typeset the Bible in the Amharic equivalent of Times or Courier ![]()

11/13/2022 0 Comments Lasher tank yuris revenge![]() I haven't really tested it on everything. Lasher tanks (cause they suck against infantry)(i had one deso take out at least 5 lasher tanks by himself. this tactics is useful against.īasically all allied tanks besides the evil battlefortress. this thing has saved my allies and my own rear end many times. to make things more effective use groups of deso bombs. since prisms are light armored it should weaken/kill them quickly. (lets say its prism tanks) of course the prisms will kill the flak track but as soon as the flak track is killed deploy your desolators and unleash a radiation wave of death. put them in the flak track and send them to the moving army coming to your base. number the desolators 1 or 2 or whatever you want. OMG HE IS SENDING HIS MILITARY AT ME! SEND THE DESO BOMBS! (of course before this have them ready) ![]() Im not sure if you guys have had this used on you yet. ![]() 11/13/2022 0 Comments Icom ci v interface![]() Both of the output signals have a second grounded emitter transistor to provide a second inversion. The USB to CAT / CI-V adapter is my own design and uses an FT230X UART chip to go from USB to logic level UART signals. Yaesu and Kenwood use mini-DIN connectors, so a different cable will have to be made to drive one of these radios. The ICOM radio that I am testing with has a 3.5mm connector for the CI-V signal, making the cable simple. Rev 1.1 of the boards have already been sent out to OSHPark. The first rev PCB that I did had the tip and ring pins interchanged, hence the blue wires. One thing to be aware of is that some radios use considerably higher voltage for keying the microphone, so a relay should be used to drive such a radio.īoth of the output connectors are just 3.5mm stereo sockets. This logical convention works with existing software (WSJT-X), so it is apparently standard. Diode D3 prevents the MIC-KEY signal on the collector of Q3 from being pulled below ground. DIODE D4 prevents the base of Q3 from being pulled below ground. The operation of the MIC-KEY is similar, the RTS signal (pin 7) drives the base of another NPN transistor (Q3) to pull the MIC-KEY signal to ground when the RTS pin goes high. These extra handshake signal connections may help keep the UART happy but are probably not necessary. The RTS signal (pin 7) is also driving the CTS input (pin 8). The DTR signal (pin 4) on the 9 pin connector is also used to pull up the DSR (pin 6) and DCD (pin 1) on the D connector. The RXD signal never goes negative like a real RS232 signal, but it works as is. Q2's output is also pulled up to about +5V and the resulting signal goes to the RXD pin on the 9 pin connector. Responses from the radio go through Q2 to be inverted. When the host is not actively talking to the radio, the COM IO signal idles in the high state. The COM_IO signal is pulled up to about 5V by the voltage supplied by the DTR pin. ![]() D2 prevents the TXD signal from driving the base of Q1 below ground. It also logically inverts the RS232 levels before applying them to the COM_IO signal to the radio. The TXD signal (pin 3) drives an NPN transistor (Q1) to get the "open collector" aspect of the output side of the bus. The normal output voltage range for current USB to RS232 adaptors seems to be about -6V to +6V. The diode D1 is used to prevent the positive power supply from going negative if the DTR signal goes low. ![]() Looking at the schematic for the 9 Pin RS232 to CAT / CI-V interface, you can see that the board is powered from pin 4 (DTR), so DTR must be set high for the board to operate. Both interfaces use a similar physical layer design. The name CAT seems to be in wider usage for this purpose. ICOM calls their communication system CI-V and Yeasu calls it CAT. The design for the RS232 to CI-V adapter was shamelessly copied from, thanks! ![]() |
