Anyone knows of a #39C3 text generator, with fixed frames of those font-weight animation/gradients, that would output SVG or other format easily importable/editable in Inkscape?

(and not a weird MacOS thing, like the one recommended in the style guide, please!)

Apple… seriously… WTF is this sloppy shit. Stop hiring shitty Windows developers and even shittier graphic artists and find your pride again.

I’m guessing this is an alpha channel issue, but there’s no way in hell old-Apple would ship text on the main menu this illegible.

I think every designer should write a love letter to a font at least once in their lifetime. This is mine: A 150-year-old font you have likely never heard of, and one you probably saw earlier today. https://aresluna.org/the-hardest-working-font-in-manhattan/

The Braille Institute created a font designed to make reading easier for people with low vision called Atkinson Hyperlegible in 2019. It just released an update (Atkinson Hyperlegible Next) and monospace version with enhanced characters, 7 weights, and variable weight. They’re free for personal and commercial use. https://www.brailleinstitute.org/freefont/?ref=activitypub&utm_source=activitypub&utm_medium=social #a11y

The Braille Institute has released an updated version of its Atkinson Hyperlegible font as well as a new Monospace variant! I'm using the font on this website, and just set it as my font for Terminal and VSCode!

You can get the font from brailleinstitute.org/freefont/ (https://www.brailleinstitute.org/freefont/)

@gaghyogi49 I love this #FontNerd work and #SciFi deep dive.

Could you link to this #Font as well? Is it an open license?

Cringing as I use a platform with unkempt and joyless UI spacing.

However well intentioned—switching fonts and colors in a Microsoft platform to fit an org’s brand NEVER ends well.

96% of the time, it ends very badly

***Font nerd alert**

I am looking for *non-monotype* fonts with tabular figures/numbers where the width of the minus symbol (u2212) exactly matches the width of the en quad (u2000) and the width of numbers. This is the case for example for Calibri/Carlito.

For such a font, these should line up perfectly:

−−−−−−−− 0.11111
         8.88888
−−−−−−−−11.11111

(the minus is a u2212 and the spaces are u2000, but not sure if this may get lost when posted here).
