DANC4 by Richard Sabey <cryptic_fan@hotmail.com> 9.2003
|
|
This font is based on the "dancing men" cipher used in Sir Arthur Conan
|
|
Doyle's Sherlock Holmes story "The Adventure of the Dancing Men" (DANC),
|
|
which was later published in the collection "The Return of Sherlock Holmes".
|
|
The cipher ignores punctuation, and marks a space by a flag held by the
|
|
dancing man for the last letter before the space. The last figure of
|
|
an entire message carries no flag, as there is no need for one. In this
|
|
implementation of the cipher, figures with no flags represent lowercase
|
|
letters; those with flags, uppercase letters. Thus, when FIGletising, you
|
|
should type only the letters, and uppercase the *last* letter of every word
|
|
except the last. For example "Come, Elsie!" becomes comEelsie.
|
|
The messages in dancing-men cipher in DANC didn't use the letters
|
|
FJKQUWXZ. What's more, editions of DANC vary in what mistakes they make in
|
|
the cipher, though they are consistent in using the same figure for P & V.
|
|
To resolve this problem and supply the missing figures, I follow the TrueType
|
|
font designed in 1994 by Martin Bergman of Sweden.
|
|
The positions of the flags have been altered to keep this a 4-line FIGfont.
