Since an official Workman layout for ISO keyboards does not exist,
the extra key in the lower left carries the same characters as on
the en-US ISO keyboard layout.

I used the de-DE layout as a basis, but centered the primary letter horizontally relative to its key. The shift variants were placed by using ] as a placeholder, aligning it with the left bottom corner of the key, and then moving it 50px to the right (5 taps on the → key in Inkscape 1.0.1) and 40px to the top (4 taps on the ↑ key). I am still searching for a good method to get an even spacing for all letter on all keys (cf. also #16). I used 16px font size for the primary letter, 10px for the shift variant and 13px where the shift variant was a dot, a comma or an apostrophe. The main letter is always "bold" and the shift variant always "semi-bold". This is based on the pattern I found in the de-DE layout file, but applied to all keys uniformly.

Thank you for considering it.

Before this layout can be offered to anyone, the issue of letter positioning (cf. #16 (comment)) needs to be solved, since the route I took was very manual and I do not consider the outcome of very high quality. Help and suggestions how to improve this and how to place the letters more automatically are very welcome.
