Download the OTF and/or TTF when done!@ChrisPirillo tried editing the pdf (a4) on procreate and using the resulting png but every row is misaligned in the detected characters, also instructions are wrong as row 2 is not allowed to be uppercase in the end. Process is smooth though, just very garbled result

@jay would you mind sharing? For troubleshooting purposes? And could you clarify what you mean about instructions being wrong? You could do a second uppercase row by using row 3, if that's what you mean?

@j_bertolotti does anything?

@ChrisPirillo It works, sort of. However, some letters are hollow, or the wrong areas are filled in. And there are problems with A4, I had to choose Letter so that all letters were recognized in their box.
Maybe you have a hint for me, what to do better? Use a bigger marker maybe? ^^
-
Ah, I see. And it's a thing of pride? Weird,

@Sumire I need to troubleshoot this further. Would you mind sharing with me the A4?

@ChrisPirillo Sure. Here on Mastodon, or would an email be more helpful?

@Sumire those should be fine. Is that second one from the a4? Is that how the PDF came out? I can see the registration markers are getting clipped off.

@ChrisPirillo
I feel like we had a talk about this years ago, before LLMs, about the meaning of creativity in the "blogosphere" or whatever is was we called it back then.I'm not surprised you call this creating, but I am maybe a bit disappointed. It feels like stolen valor. Like Trump being proud of "his" Purple Heart or "his" Nobel Prize.

Right, I remember why I gave up trying to talk with you ages ago. Flippant, zero-calorie engagement unless someone is fully supportive of what you're doing. Disappointing. -

@ChrisPirillo I've written this in the ALT Text. The first one is the A4, the second one (with the clipped markers) is letter and this works fine. ^^'

@Sumire good news. I'm getting your problem fixed on the a4. I'm getting the characters to scan correctly now, but I'm going to start working on figuring out what's happening with the actual render.
