title: q.t. refsheet transcriptions date: 2024-11-26 tags: [fursona, lántas, conlangs] conlang: laantas summary: quick post for the text on q.t.'s refsheet ...

:::figure q.t.'s new refsheet. now bilingual :::

fitting lántas into a strictly eight-pixel high font was… difficult. and involved a lot of special-casing. it would be a huge hassle to get a computer to do it automatically.

anyway let's get to it
