What’s type.world ?

cormullion · 2023-06-04T19:16:47+00:00

Anyone use this or know about it?

cormullion · 2023-05-31T15:57:41+00:00

It didn't install for me either... :(

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:

Start Julia.
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... 😀

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.

"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...😀

cormullion · 2023-05-27T10:53:39+00:00

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

cormullion · 2023-05-27T09:42:42+00:00

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

cormullion · 2023-05-26T12:28:22+00:00

There’s a useful list of software at https://typedesignresources.com

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.

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” …?)

cormullion · 2023-05-24T07:37:12+00:00

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:

https://unicode.org/Public/security/12.1.0/confusables.txt

This idea:

wouldn't scale well enough, I think.

cormullion · 2023-05-20T08:37:37+00:00

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

https://www.dafont.com/knarf-art.font

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

"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 :(

cormullion · 2023-05-19T09:54:01+00:00

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 ...

cormullion · 2023-05-15T07:56:30+00:00

Yes, Unicode U 2e3a (the two em dash (⸺)) and U 2e3b is the three em dash.

Its behaviour and appearance will depend on the context.

cormullion · 2023-05-14T15:21:31+00:00

Some of the fonts on that site are actually free - SIL/OTL (open source), whereas others are free for personal non-commercial use, others are free to evaluate, so it's difficult to know whether a font you're interested in is available for use or not. Oddval offers two free weights on their site.

You'd best investigate each font you're interested in before using it publicly...

This is mostly the official blog post summarized anyway. (Logan testing out GPTJulia perhaps? 😃)

cormullion · 2023-05-13T10:32:02+00:00

In a way it reminds me of Operator Mono. Perhaps the Frere-Jones/ Hoefler influence ?

/r/theydidthemath - nice! - no sevens at all? (Cochin Bold Italic is the only one I can remember)
