Differentiable Variable Fonts
Editing and animating text appearance for graphic designs, commercials, etc. remain highly skilled tasks requiring detailed, hands on efforts from artists. Automating these manual workflows requires balancing the competing goals of maintaining legibility and aesthetics of text, while enabling creative expression. Variable fonts, recent parametric extensions to traditional fonts, offer the promise of new ways to ease and automate typographic design and animation. Variable fonts provide custom co…

Just upgraded to MacOS 26.1 on a computer w/ an external 1920x1200 monitor and it looks TERRIBLE. The fonts in the official apps (Messages, etc) look grody with no way to change apparently. The whole interface is like an sophomore attempt w/ the over-rounded edges. So gross & amateurish #macos

@… just a question, I had a look at some your extraordinary work, and I realized that in the example pictures you have an Æ/æ and a Þ/þ, but there's no Ð/ð. Is the letter missing just in the picture or also the fonts? I know Icelandic doesn't have many uses, but since you created two of the special characters I wonder if you forgot the third

Even Adobe Fonts is down dammit... and here's me with only 4000 fonts stored locally 😅

Using fonts in R graphics can be tricky at times. {showtext} aims to make it easier: #rstats

Honestly, #emoji and icons in #Unicode are a true horror.
Yeah, sure. It's great that you don't have to use <img/> anymore and you can just paste a random Unicode character. You can get graphics into fields where only text was originally intended (like bug summaries). Even better, you can now easily get cool colorful icons on terminal with almost no effort.
However, it is an #accessibility nightmare. People are now encoding *information* in random graphical symbols. Symbols that require huge fonts to render, or huge character tables to describe.
Yeah, a bare <img/> carrying information sucks. However, you can add a *meaningful* alt-text to the image, and accessibility tools can use that text to provide meaningful context. Like "bug fix".
However, emojis and icons are symbolic. The best you can get is some description like "hammer and wrench", so people can kinda figure out that it's probably a "bug fix". Or maybe it was a "maintenance task"? Or you'll get a "unknown character 0x1F6E0". And I'm sure people will surely enjoy cross-referencing a "legend" of such "unknown characters".

@… Good question. It doesn’t seem to mess with display scaling, but I think perhaps they’re using fonts now that require a Retina/HiDPI display to look usable

Did I just download all the fonts into my phone? Yes.

I have a ten-year-old post about typefaces for dyslexia to which I’ve added two 2016 links:
• https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5629233/
•

The effect of a specialized dyslexia font, OpenDyslexic, on reading rate and accuracy
A single-subject alternating treatment design was used to investigate the extent to which a specialized dyslexia font, OpenDyslexic, impacted reading rate or accuracy compared to two commonly used fonts when used with elementary students identified ...

I have a strong urgency to pipe docx files I receive from collaborators through pandoc before editing them. Even a docx-to-docx conversion would separate semantically meaningful formatting from accidental artifacts of previous editing steps like different line height, changing fonts, varying indentation etc. (I resist that urge b/c I don’t want to be responsible for any loss of meaningful formatting, but I cringe every time I have to edit a Word document.)

Embedding Font Impression Word Tags Based on Co-occurrence

Embedding Font Impression Word Tags Based on Co-occurrence
Different font styles (i.e., font shapes) convey distinct impressions, indicating a close relationship between font shapes and word tags describing those impressions. This paper proposes a novel embedding method for impression tags that leverages these shape-impression relationships. For instance, our method assigns similar vectors to impression tags that frequently co-occur in order to represent impressions of fonts, whereas standard word embedding methods (e.g., BERT and CLIP) yield very diff…

Paging @… to the courtesy phone. Keyboards, and fonts from old DOS games.

Estic buscant "testers" per a una "forja alternativa" ( basada en #Forgejo )
#CodiLliure, probablement de pagament per a projectes privats (tot i que per ara és la oferim sense cost per a tothom fins a la data oficial de llançament)
En quant tinguem clients de pagament, donarem una proporció fixa d'aquests ingressos al projecte Forgejo.
La forja l'allotgem a #Europa, en un proveïdor que fa servir energia de fonts renovables, i la mantenim a una petita #cooperativa catalana.
P.S.: Sí, coneixem el gran Codeberg :) .
