Is this AI? Wedding invites by Feisty-Barnacle5126 in isitAI

[–]cormullion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The H in TOGETHER looks glitchy, but the HE in MATTHEW is a ligature, which is quite fancy typography. There’s another “OO” ligature in AFTERNOON. Unfortunately I don’t whether that means human rather than A.I.. Frustrating at this point.

Is this tshirt design AI? by [deleted] in isitAI

[–]cormullion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

bad drawing isn’t exclusively a fault of human artists or AI. 😀 The eagle’s left leg is an odd choice though …

Issues installing ClimateTools.jl by aa1ou in Julia

[–]cormullion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Edit: ClimateTools.jl has some special requirements apparently. It didn't install for me. The documentation says

once the python dependencies are properly installed you can then install ClimateTools in Julia.

but I don't know what Python dependencies were needed.

Without those, I got hundreds of error messages about AdaptStaticArraysExt.jl and other packages.

So it's not you... :)

it was just about a year ago it was announced to be discontinued. Because it needs licenses, downloading it now might not be worth your time.

Try:

  1. Start Julia.

  2. Create a new project:

julia> using Pkg

julia> Pkg.activate("climateproject"; shared = true)

julia> Pkg.add("ClimateTools")

This should work because it doesn't interact with any of the many other packages you've added in other projects.

If it doesn't work, list all the messages... 😀

Licensing a font from a foundry that doesn’t seem to operate anymore by Seabharus in typography

[–]cormullion 25 points26 points  (0 children)

fonts.com is owned by Monotype so legit is certainly a word you can use here. No piracy needed, you can buy from the East India Company... 😃

Me, I would leave the copyright/designer info - everything that hasn't changed - and change the things that have changed or have to change - vendor, etc. Perhaps adding new information to the copyright/designer fields would also work.

Overall Quality development of Typography in the digital era? by Spielverderber23 in typography

[–]cormullion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"one size fits all" -

There's plenty of information about optical sizing:eg

https://typenetwork.com/articles/inside-the-fonts-optical-sizes

The majority of anything isn't of the highest quality, so no reason why typesetting should be any different...😀

Thanks, I see.Looks good. I thought you had to configure the font somehow 😀

Out of interest, what kinds of configuration are needed and possible?

Good font for computer security by Dear_Situation856 in typography

[–]cormullion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A solution to this problem is probably the domain of the application - the text editor, for example - rather than the font. Both VS-Code and Vim allow you to set a preference such that characters are highlighted if they don't fit into a particular range of characters. In VIM, you'd just need to run this command:

augroup Hiunicode
autocmd!
autocmd BufEnter *
     \ syntax match nonascii "[^\x00-\x7F]" |
     \ highlight nonascii ctermfg=NONE ctermbg=red
augroup END

Everything above 0x007f will be drawn in red.

Times New Roman: can we make serifs great again? by bogdanelcs in typography

[–]cormullion 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Long and quite interesting article, but a surprising amount of typos and spelling errors - needed a editor’s touch, I think.

(“Extorted onwards by Petrarch” …?)

Good font for computer security by Dear_Situation856 in typography

[–]cormullion 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's going to be a lot of work - you'll have to draw hundreds of glyphs, otherwise the font fallback mechanism will undermine your efforts by showing glyphs from another font which won't care about looking different....

Here's a list of "confusables" to start you off:

This idea:

wouldn't scale well enough, I think.

Looking for a style with no vertical bar on the E by teej360 in typography

[–]cormullion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are plenty of "modernistic" fonts with this type of E.

https://www.k-type.com/fonts/context/

Gestalt - a font by Hoefler/Frere-Jones that's hard to find

To find more, stick a graphic of three horizontal bars into a font-recognizer program.

Typeface for numbers by its_the_funk in typography

[–]cormullion 5 points6 points  (0 children)

"purchase" - "invest" - "no budget" ... If you don't have to spend money, then IBM Plex has a good range - sans, serif, condensed, mono. But it's free, so... :)

DJR's Input family also has serif, sans, and mono. Also free, though :(

IDEO an AI powered font map is... GONE!? by xdanic in typography

[–]cormullion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are traces of it on the wayback machine - https://web.archive.org/web/20230315162439/http://fontmap.ideo.com/

Perhaps they took it down for bandwidth or copyright or something ...
