@mconley I'm especially hyped for the performance improvement and the #fingerprinting prevention of the web audio api.
And they even tackle #font fingerprinting, albeit only in private browsing mode? Please, in the near future, enable it by default 🙀

"To create a font from scratch in English you’ll be looking at around 840 glyphs (a glyph being a single representation of a given letter) to cover all languages based on the Latin alphabet. For #Japanese, as a result of the different writing systems and countless Kanji, you will be looking at 7,000–16,000 glyphs or more. So, creating a new #font in Japanese requires both an organized team effort and a lot more time than its Latin counterparts"

I am now fighting with the #Qt font system trying to load the TASA #font that we have been recommending me.
I don't know exactly what is going on but it is awfully. Most of the weights are aliased really badly.
Something related to #PySide6, or to font hinting, or maybe to the font otf format itself ....
I am using stylesheets which prevent all the tricks with QFont. And font loading is just `QFontDatabase.addApplicationFont(fileName)`, with no control on how the font is loaded whatsoever ...

Also if there is any #typography #font enthusiasts that love recommending fonts to people, I have the above application that is currentlyon the overused Roboto font for now but I'm ready to change it early for something better. I'm not very good at picking fonts, usually going for the most popular work to avoid picking something that could look off.

@dyani I think it's less a matter of caps or not - people like @fuchsiii would say that abolishing caps would increase readability - but IMHO a matter of #font / #typeface.
#OpenDyslexic and some other fonts really make it easier to identify letters and help people read.
Personally I prefer #monospaced fonts and I could accept either #AllCaps or regular typing as long as it's consistenty used.

Mazatlan FC Font - Temporada 2023-2024 https://www.dekazeta.net/foro/files/file/3613-mazatlan-fc-font-temporada-2023-2024/
***Font nerd alert**
I am looking for *non-monotype* fonts with tabular figures/numbers where the width of the minus symbol (u2212) exactly matches the width of the en quad (u2000) and the width of numbers. This is the case for example for Calibri/Carlito.
For such a font, these should line up perfectly:
−−−−−−−− 0.11111
8.88888
−−−−−−−−11.11111
(the minus is a u2212 and the spaces are u2000, but not sure if this may get lost when posted here).
Hey typographers and designers! Can I pick your brains for a tattoo idea?
It’s from Isaac Asimov’s classic 1956 short story “The Last Question,” and will be in the form of two tattoos, one on each bicep just above the t-shirt sleeve line.
Right arm: “HOW CAN THE ENTROPY OF THE UNIVERSE BE REVERSED?”
Left arm: “THERE IS AS YET INSUFFICIENT DATA FOR A MEANINGFUL RESPONSE.”
Question is… what typeface should I use? I was thinking a mid-50s style computer typeface, but it is a story set in the future. I can’t decide!

Ich vermute, dass es gar kein #Font ist. Das wird vermutlich ein Grafiker speziell für diesen Zweck entworfen haben. Oder das "H" ist eine Initiale. Aber wie gesagt mir ist auf Anhieb kein Font bekannt der dem Schriftzug gleicht.
Such mal bei Google "Font Schreibschrift" und dann viel Spaß beim suchen 😉
Made myself a font out of Warhammer-decals to use in my pictures.
Some of the wider symbols are using two characters, else they would have been too tiny and lose detail.
It's not perfect, but it'll add a bit convenience to my drawing-process.

"La sua propensione piuttosto aggressiva alle acquisizioni di tantissime altre aziende del settore ha portato nel tempo molti esperti di tipografia a ritenere che quello dei font sia, sostanzialmente, un monopolio detenuto da Monotype, che grazie alle sue dimensioni definirebbe gran parte delle condizioni di distribuzione e tariffazione del settore."

I need #help finding a #web service I stumbled upon once upon a time.
This service allows you to visually compare and match a user-specified external web #font with a visually similar and system-accessible analog. As a result, it gives a set of values for the #CSS rule 'font-family'.
The goal of the service is to offer native analogs of external fonts to save traffic, simplify layout and reduce dependencies on external CDNs like #Google.
Not generally a big fan of the newspaper, but the German FAZ (Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung) has a nice #font.
Seems to be "Golden Sans", which comes surprisingly cheap.

I think it's done. Like, really done. If you can't make an interesting TUI application with this character set and font, I can't help you. Good news for people sick to death of my obsessive hyper focus on getting the font right, anyway -- my brain is satisfied with it. It's legible, it's flexible, it's got decent Latin character support for pan-European languages, it's got a bunch of ASCII art and TUI symbols, it's got maths support. It's everything I wish MS-DOS had back in the day.

Here's a Whitmanesque thought for the #font brackets, @sbarolo:
"My favorite symbol would be a good font of type, where the impeccable long-primer rejects nothing... The font is about the same forever. Democratic art results of democratic development, from tinge, true nationality, belief, in the one setting up from it."

Learned something neat at yesterday's @a11ytalks webinar, presented by Meggan Van Harten.
The province of British Columbia, Canada, commissioned a font named BC Sans, designed to include characters and syllabic glyphs for Indigenous languages in B.C.
A great service of the province government for the people of B.C.
Also, by the way, the font passes the I/l/1 test (the three characters being easily distinguishable)!
