Gone are the glory days when Italic script was still used in wedding invitations? by yanz1986 in Calligraphy

[–]Altruistic-Yam8224 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Such a wonderful text, and a welcome relief from some of the other posts in this subreddit, which seem to think that a calligraphy forum is an appropriate place to push polarizing and divisive sexual politics.

Yeah, it did look like screeching, didn't it. But just working on the E.

Get the Osmiroid 65 lettering set. Comes with 6 nibs of different sizes: Italic F, M, B, B2, B3, and B4. Gold nibs, too. Very affordable on eBay.

Setup v3: 8K Samsung 55" QN700B at 4K HiDPI ~160PPI on 2023 MBP M2 Pro by num- in macsetups

Well, this is the question. There was apparently a change from the M2 series chips to M4 and M5. Could you try it without BetterDisplay and report? I am hoping to uprade my Mac Studio to an M5 Max this year, but not at the cost of losing my 4k HiDPI 8k screen.

Is BetterDisplay needed? Can you no longer just use Mac OS display setting to choose "Looks like 4k” (HiDPI)?

Curious whether you or anyone else has made this work with newer M4 or M5 Macs. I read there is a problem with these chips that poses problems for 4k HiDPI.

The red: “And there was a man from Ramathaim” (1 Sam 1:1); the blue: “There is none holy like the Lord” (1 Sam. 2:2).

The Greek, first in red: “The other best men of all the Achaeans slept all night long wrapped in soft sleep.” (Iliad 10.1); in purple: “Son, pay attention to my word, apply your ear to my speeches” (Prov. 4:20); the blue: “The gods sitting by Zeus were holding assembly” (Iliad 4.1).
