The other day I went to the Library to read this book:

Modern Optical Experiments in Typography: Univers Ultra Light Oblique (1968)
Tim Lee & Mark Soo

I am now fully prepared to design my own font.

Found Typography

I have a set of characters that are supposed to look similar, but one of them doesn’t. I’m assuming this is because either that one is, or all the others are not supported by the (monospace) font I use in that context, and it’s falling back to another font which has it/them.
How do I find out which characters are the missing one in my chosen font?

FWIW the characters are ○◔◑◕●, the second one is the one looking different, and the font is CommitMono.

Das Internet ist voll mit fragwürdigen Font Webseiten denen ich nicht wirklich traue.
Bei MyFont kostet wirklich jede Font Geld, auch wenn sie für non-commercial use ganz offiziell kostenlos wäre.

Kennt ihr Seiten die vertrauenswürdiger sind auf denen ich Fonts bekomme?

Ein wenig fehlt mir die alte taz-Schrift ja schon. Das Redesign war richtig und gut und alles. Aber die Schrift war einfach cool! #fontNerds
