Templates and supplementary pages

Tracey can generate and detect several template types. Primary sheets start a font. Supplementary sheets now open a merge review so an upload does not replace the current font unless you choose that action. If you do not want to scan at all, the studio can also start blank drawing sets for these same template groups and let you draw directly in the repair canvas.

Simple template

Ready for current exports

Use this for the first working font: A-Z, a-z, numbers, and core punctuation in the standard 81-cell frame.

Advanced / Complete

Ready as a two-page PDF

Downloads as one PDF with the base page first, then accents and extra symbols. Upload page 2 into an open font and confirm assignments before merging.

Freeform

Merge review available

One 81-box blank sheet for redos, alternates, or extra glyphs. Fill as many boxes as needed; Tracey asks you to assign drawn cells before applying them.

Review supplementary imports before applying them

Freeform sheets are unlabelled. Tracey can segment the drawn cells and prefill OCR-assisted guesses, but you should check the assignment list before starting a font, filling gaps, replacing glyphs, or keeping alternates.

Available now

How supplementary imports behave

Later sheets remain pending until you decide how their assigned characters should affect the open font.

  • Keep the existing font open and treat new sheets as pending imports until the user confirms a merge action.
  • Merge labelled supplementary cells into the existing glyph set without deleting page 1.
  • Ask what to do when an uploaded character already exists: replace, keep as alternate, or skip.

Still limited

OCR hints still need review

Freeform sheets use bounded server OCR to suggest assignments, but handwriting-specific classification and matching against your existing font are not reliable enough to apply without your confirmation.
