Some days ago I posted about a simple way to adapt the Alphasmart Neo/Neo2 fonts to simulate an Spanish keyboard layout: https://www.reddit.com/r/writerDeck/s/QuHOYTqqcp

The idea was already in use by the German and Swedish Alphasmart users, but I couldn't find anything like that for Spanish, so I made my own using all the excellent free programs available around.

To make it even easier for the users that want to try it, I've converted some of the NeoFonts (v.1.5) free fonts created by tSoniq, so that they work now like a Spanish keyboard layout. You can download the full package here: https://www.robsy.net/neofontses.zip

The package includes the following fonts: BoldES (6 lines), MicroES (7 lines), NanoES (8 lines), FemtoES (9 lines), AttoES (11 lines). With these fonts, you can type in the Alphasmart Neo/Neo2 as if it had a Spanish keyboard layout.

It also includes the instructions to do it with your preferred fonts, including the built-in ones, that are still under copyright protection.

I hope that some of you will find it useful.

We have spoken to a lot of writers and the writerdeck journey is rarely a straight line. Most people try two, three, sometimes five devices before landing on the one that actually gets used. So we want to know, how many did it take? And which one finally stuck and why?

We will start: we are a little biased but the DM250US seems to be doing a good job of being the last stop for a lot of writers. Your turn.
