Very interesting and fun programs. I came away with two thoughts.
1)By the time that the demos finished several letters most calligraphers would have been finished with “the piece.” 2) As an origination program it definitely has its pluses, but would fall short when it came to the subtle nuances that can be achieved with pen manipulation. In the “n” example below (FB Pouty) the black dots represent attitudinal (angle) shifts and in most cases an addition of pressure on the pen to create waisting.
I guess what I am trying to say is that they are wonderfully basic tools (or just a starting point), so why not do it with ink and pen and get the whole enchilada at one time. Don’t get me wrong... I embrace technology, I just prefer the human touch.

well, Michael, nothing against human touch and nothing against technology I would say:-)))
For the last 10 years I have really had enough work with paper, ink, and nibs - especially with copperplate ones - I got tired and decided to begin digital way of life following tradition - it’s really a lot diffrent, but when one has enough experience in traditional calligraphy then trying digital - believe me, one gets wings!!!:-)))
. . . and I am happy with this so I am stuck to this SOFTWARE SEARCH AFFAIR:-)
