Really proud to release Atencio, a Rubens revival with four weights and a variable axis. It’s a work-in-progress, but I hope it’s useful already!

@timahrens They can say whatever they want prior to requesting this access, of course. Maybe they “can’t” do it in this dialogue, but that doesn’t mean they can’t communicate this in literally any other way.
They have no problem interrupting veterans of the software about new features all the time. They know how to interrupt us.
@klim To be clear, I’m not advocating “ripping” anyone’s name that they’ve chosen— but it does make me wonder if I’m putting in more time and effort making sure the name is clear than others who do not.
Pre-internet, it does seem that people independently decided the same name for their unrelated styles. Now, we can do better due diligence, but maybe not everyone’s doing that. Someone might use the same name as one of my fonts without knowing mine exists. But I don’t really want to be someone who argues about who got there first either.
I guess what I’m asking is... is there a line? If a font exists, no matter how obscure, no matter how old, no matter what other variable, you would avoid that word? There are no bounds?
When it comes to naming fonts, something I suspect everyone dislikes doing—
When do you decide to care that another font exists with a desired name? If it is from a foundry you know? If it’s in a major font marketplace? Do you disqualify lower-quality fonts with a desired name? Do you ignore all the “etsy millennial script” fonts that inevitably use every name imaginable? When do you prefix or suffix with your foundry’s abbreviation? When do you say “fuck it” and name it whatever you want anyway?
@nicksherman @jasonsantamaria The screen recording request, when approved, allows you to color pick outside of the Adobe app. As in, you can drag the eyedropper outside the window. If you deny it, you can still color pick inside the app.
They could... just say this. But instead, we all have to figure out if it meaningfully impacts any feature or not.
