-Using [FontForge](https://fontforge.org/en-US/), a fantastic and open source font designer.
+Using [FontForge's](https://fontforge.org/en-US/) excellent Python extension, the glyphs are created from configuration files representing each character's pixels. Diacritics are created separately and are combined with the original characters to create over 500 unique glyphs.
