I looked up Harmony bugles and found the following.

I know it is off-topic, but why restrict the opportunity to learn when a serendipitous opportunity arises?

Alien Invasion - it's for a tour poster - I'm not saying any more than that until it's finished
Looking at a set of font type I made myself a few years ago - or who knows still looking around

Well, that's an old hat (as we say in german) and kids usually learn that in school math.

Same as ...
The Gaussian sum formula: add numbers from 1 to 100. So the question is about adding all the values up to a given "n" value, for example "1+2+3+4+5+... + 100".
According to tradition, Gauss recognized this formula at the tender age of 9. In order to calm the boy, his mathematics teacher at the time, Büttner, is said to have given him a difficult task, which he assumed that the young Gauss would only be able to solve after much deliberation. The story is handed down by Gauss's friend and colleague, Wolfgang Sartorius von Waltershausen:
"The young Gauss had hardly entered the arithmetic class when Büttner gave up the summation of an arithmetic series. The task had hardly been said, however, when Gauss threw the table on the table with the words spoken in the Lower Brunswick dialect: "Ligget se'." that of Gauss with a single number was on top and when Büttner checked the example, to the amazement of all those present, his was found to be correct, while many of the others were wrong and were immediately rectified (chastised) with the Karwatsche (leather whip).”

... the above story about Gauss is as I too heard it from my math teacher, once in school about the origin of the Gauss sum formula!
See in english: Gauss Summation
 

It might be obvious to some people, but I was only aware of it because I read about it many years ago! It works because 1/81 is 
0.012345679012345679012…
So you get an effect similar to multiplying 142857 by positive integers up to and including 7, which works because 1/7 is
0.14285714285714…

Wow!
An infinite sequence of Alfred numbers!

If you haven’t actually done so, it’s fun to investigate what happens when you multiply 12345679 by whole multiples of 9.

Possibly!

You’re both correct, of course, but William has shot down his own argument about ‘Best regards’ not being a sentence, since the latter is shorthand for something like ‘I send you my best regards.’

But one of them can be implied, and in this case the implied verb is "Have (a)". Or perhaps there's even more implied, as in "I hope you have a ...".

A sentence comprises, at a minimum, a subject and either (a) an intransitive verb or (b) a transitive verb and an object. Where’s the verb in ‘Good day.’?
 

I'm obviously missing something (nothing new for me!), but I don't quite understand what is meant by "Localizable sentences can be applied without needing to be learned." Surely you need to learn what all these symbols mean, otherwise what is the point in using them? If you need to use some sort of code book to decipher them then, as Alfred said, why not just use code numbers? (At least numbers can be indexed easily.) 

‘Good day.’ isn’t really a sentence, it’s just an interjection. Discuss.
Given that you can use a code number to mean exactly the same thing, what is the advantage of using a symbol that can’t be typed without a special font?

Perhaps it is because, like me, people cannot understand what you are taking about. Even after googling the phrase.
PS, what is the work you are sharing?

Yes, you have solved the problem for me. Thank you.
Scaling was set to 150% and I changed it to 100% and I could get a new document, but it looked small on the screen.
Screen resolution was at 1920 by 1080 Recommended, but I changed it to 1360 by 768 and it seems to look better with the menu bar having lettering easier for me to read.
Thanks again,
Best regards,
William
 

Hello Walt, I have only just seen your post after I had posted a reply to MikeTO.
Best regards and thank you for posting,
William
 

Also, can you provide a screenshot from Windows showing the screen that you see?

Hi William, what is the screen resolution for your computer? Do you have scaling set to something greater than 100% in Windows Settings > Display?
Affinity's minimum screen resolution is 1280x768.

I found this rather splendid article.

So I can add
tywyll dywyll dark
 
So i need to design another glyph, or maybe two new glyphs, encoding the following.
The colour is dark.
The colour is light.

I have found this rather nice video. It is gently paced and is in both Welsh and English. 2 minutes 56 seconds. 492 views as of the time of this post.

I have to say that “a somewhat something route” is a rather delightful phrase! All I meant is that although your original post has a PDF attachment that you presumably created by exporting from an Affinity app, the subsequent discussion about learning Welsh is unrelated to that app.
So I gather from the link that you provided.
I don’t claim to be a linguist, either, but the term “voiced” refers to the use of the vocal cords. If you articulate a ‘c’ or ‘g’ your tongue meets the roof of your mouth in the same way, and the only reason the end result is different is that you vibrate your vocal cords to produce the ‘g’ sound: the ‘c’ doesn’t involve vibration of the vocal cords, so it’s termed “voiceless”. Similarly, ‘b’ is the voiced counterpart to the voiceless ‘p’, and ‘d’ is the voiced counterpart to the voiceless ‘t’.

Affinity supports COLR v0 fonts on Windows (added when they added color emoji support). May also work on Mac, I do not know.
COLR v0 fonts are constructed by putting each shape/color/layer on separate characters/glyphs. There is a color palette and the layer/glyphs are assigned a color from the palette. Those component characters/layers are then stacked and presented as one multi-colored character.
So it works very similar to using layered fonts, but in one font.
FontCreator can create/edit COLR v0 color fonts (so the demo should work for you).
Windows Segoe UI Emoji is a COLR v0 color font - so you can look that.
And there other example COLR v0 fonts I posted in the other color font thread.
I could not download your PDF above, but if you have the layers already you could probably convert the font to COLR v0 and use it in Affinity.
Not a simple task. But possible.

I have no idea. Only that it has been discussed, and there is some limited support. It's not important enough to me for me to spend the time doing the search and reading the results.

There is some very limited support. But I do not know how to describe it.
