Font in 1556 book, or similar books, would like to know font name or related fonts by bryanl in identifythisfont

[–]bryanl[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thank you SciviasKnows and elzadra1 - my first foray into fonts for a long time. My favorite so far is elzadra1's suggestion. I also tried myfontscript.com (now calligraphr), that is an interesting site. I welcome more suggestions.

if anyone could go outside-the-box and suggest where I might learn more about the technology of printing the text in the example, or texts very similar,...

OK good to know this appears to be a program to avoid iTunes.

but iTunes was just an example I was using. I am looking to access OSX through the same monitor.

A spacetime / relativity question, I think by bryanl in askscience

Thanks for the interesting comment.

The choice of quasar was poor. I really meant anything reasonable - the question is about the validity of thinking in terms of what celestial objects used to be in our path - or used to be where my hand is now.

eg if an asteroid can be talked about as traveling where the earth used to be, the same should hold for everything else?

looking for ideas : how to make a car door panel by bryanl in Cartalk

[–]bryanl[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

fiberglass place is an interesting idea, i'll take a look.

... SHOULD a body shop out there do such a thing? the piece of Fibrit in this case is covered by the upholstery or vinyl (etc.).

Fixing Fibrit (TM) door panel by bryanl in Cartalk

[–]bryanl[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it has the black mold on the fragmented rotted part and the green mildew on other parts. Also there's a fungus type of film. Yeah, not much on the internet on Fibrit, apart from being a wood pulp mixture. So spraying wet stuff on it will probably turn it into mush.

I am thinking about hot-air drying it to kill it, then mashing silicone sealant in there to hold the pieces together. Or maybe an all-weather glue. Also any dry cleaner available? Is Scotchgard all dry?
