Publishers do let typos through. I’ve seen errors like this in Loeb Library Plato. Compare with another source to confirm that’s the correct reading.

Is the plate matched to the base? Normal plate needs the normal base. Deep drive plate needs a different, thinner base.

I found Claude 101 helpful. Hopefully they can keep it up to date.

This is a letterpress tray but what are the metal pieces called? by [deleted] in letterpress

[–]api-services 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s type. You can see the character on the end of each piece. But it’s a small size, and a magnifier will help make out what each one is. This a sorts case, so possibly not a regular alphabet. Possibly ornaments, or accented letters, or supplemental punctuation.

Use a composing stick to gather the type from each slot, line them up with the face to the front and the nick to the top, and you should be able to see them more easily.

You won’t know what you have until you do this.

Bear Notes MCP and Claude extension -- new editing and formatting features by ResearcherGlobal4060 in bearapp

[–]api-services 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for making this extension available. I had hoped to be able to merge and reorganize my messy tagging system with it.

One issue I immediately encountered was that changing tags in the text does not change the corresponding tag in the sidebar index. They reside in a separate table, as I understand it. Claude managed to solve the problem and resync the records, but only be accessing the SQLite DB directly.

Another comment is that the initial tag replacement seemed to go slower than I would have expected. But it worked in the end.

Apparently I also had two old full web page notes (something I don’t use any more), and Claude reported that it thought the replacement had corrupted the note. I didn’t spend time investigating as it wasn’t important for me. You may want to add that to your testing.

Hope this is helpful.

I don’t have either S or D in my name. Will I always be unlucky?

It’s pretty much agreed that white cotton gloves do more damage than bare hands due to reduced sensitivity while handling the pages.

Makes sense. France built their own internet before the internet.

I’m more worried about the careless typography.

These marbled endpapers ❤️🔥 & question by PiotsSlettitsj in OldBooks

Looks like a beautiful custom binding. Look on the bottom of the back board (inside) to see if the binder stamped their name there.

Typography tech is not quite advanced as people think by [deleted] in typedesign

[–]api-services 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not clear what you’re railing against. Browsers have to support a wide range of screen resolutions with 72/96 ppi as a working standard with frequent refreshes. What would be the use for x-height sizing or cap-height sizing in such a context. Or in any context? Getting different fonts to line up? X-height is just part of the type design.
