All .xcf files should have Upper-case,lower-case numerals and special-characters

I beg to differ.
They are after all "custom fonts" and not font files,
hence they do not require all the bells and whistles that a ttf or otf might have.

The optimal word here is customize ie.
verb (used with object), custom, customized, customizing.
To modify or build according to individual or personal specifications or preference:
to customize an automobile, in our case... to customize a font.

Wallace we will always differ so I'll add the wording "if possible", always remembering that the files I create are done by a batch script I write for that purpose, for other people I would have to admire there diligence to get through 96 layers

And i agree as well. Probably why you only see a few of us creating them. :lol

I like to create them with as many characters as possible because someone along the line is going to ask for them to be added. I am just jumping ahead of their requests. :hehe

I was thinking of doing a random font also. Use 52 characters (caps and small letters) from different font faces.
