Like in any other font, the "black" surfaces can be formatted in any desired colour. | These
three fonts can be used to compose diagonally structured "celtic" knotwork
patterns using only 26 (without rotation and empty ones only 7) square elements. The number of possibilities is
unlimited. Only the following keys contain symbols:
2008 Noeuds 1

If you touch another key than the described ones, your text program might switch into the default font.
Before
composing a knot ornament, make sure that the line spacing in the
"paragraph" menu is set on "simple" and that no supplementary line gap
is inserted after a change of paragraph. Otherwise, your knot might be
interrupted by white horizontal lines.
Knot rectangles from 1x1 to 5x5:

The
easiest way to these rectangular knot fields is using the numeral
field on your keypad. "Num Lock" must be on. A new line is inserted
pressing the "paragraph" or "enter" key. The "space" key inserts an
empty white square.

These examples have been composed with "2008 Noeuds 3".

Variations of the knot square 5 x 5

The elements completing the standard square shapes to simple knotwork borders consist of forms only filling half a square, so the remaining rest forms an empty white line. These knots can only be closed as a frame. |

Layout Examples:

The text in the following example was inserted using a text field. Alternatively, you can convert your knot ornament into a picture file and insert it "behind the text".
According to knot dimen- sions, screen resolution and graphic interface, the knots might show white gaps between the individual elements (usually of a one pixel width). See the right column of the example. After conversion into a picture format, these areas can be corrected manually. |
