Playstate

play halt back Halt list prev next eject close

This might be a somehow strange concept. The idea was to store the control symbols of a common multimadia control panel inside a font file. By choosing an adequate kayboard layout, you can type the meanings of the control elements, apply the font to it and simply get the corresponding symbols as a result.

This could be useful for none-font-face capable browsers or as an elegant fallback for text-based display-systems like screen-readers or braille displays.

Use it like this:

// You can type the words:
back halt play Halt list prev next eject close

// or the characters
< || > # + « » ^ ×

If styled with Playstate the result will look like this:

< || > # + « » ^ ×

The keyboard layout:

Type character: Y H h K I X V J O < > | ^ « » + × #
Symbol: Y H h K I X V J O < > | ^ « » + × #
Or type: Play Halt halt Back List Next Prev Eject Close (less than) (greater than) (bar) (circumflex) (guillemot left) (guillemot right) (plus sign) (multiply) (number sign)
