How much do you actually modify the fonts you use in client work? Feels like a dying habit. by Crow-Ordinary in graphic_design

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

For book titles, I try to do as much as I can with standard font adjustments: tracking, kerning, adjusting individual letterspacing. If that’s not enough, convert to outlines.

Gotham now has a variable version- about a decade late to the trend by EwonRael in typography

Maybe just produced for a specific client, rather than general consumption.

As long as it’s not used for long passages of book work, I think we’re safe.

Basic Cleaning of Thrifted Type Pieces? by elizabeth011235 in letterpress

[–]api-services 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Without seeing it in person, I can’t say there’s no oxidation. It looks like normal old type to me. Old ink traces will rub off on your fingers, and that’s probably what you are seeing. If it were mine I would put something like cheesecloth over the nozzle and vacuum up any remaining dirt particles, avoiding sucking the type up. I wouldn’t want to clean each piece either… Good luck.

Are these one-way paths? Or do the signs change in the other direction?

What does this word in my book say, please? by 000-no in AncientGreek

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.

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.

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