The Unsolved Mystery of Lorem Ipsum

YouTube
@glennf @outer I watched this yesterday and found it both crazy and fascinating. It was especially interesting to me because Letraset was one of my first consulting clients back in the 1990s. I wrote the documentation for some of their products when they were trying to make the jump from press-on type to digital type. It was a weird time.

It's not an unsolved mystery. Unless you never did publishing & Graphic design in the last century.

I had never looked up https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorem_ipsum
That largely agrees with what I knew 30 years ago.
