Match Italic angle.. New tiny script for Glyphs on my Git inside Paths. Select any node with handles, a handle or line and it will try to match the master italic angle. You'll figure it out. https://github.com/andreirobu/TypeverythingGlyphsScripts

I just published two Glyphs scripts to help you create letter combinations for kerning testing. You select any group of letters, click on the scripts and a window with all letter combinations will pop up. https://github.com/andreirobu/TypeverythingGlyphsScripts/tree/main/Kerning

Picking Up Pixels: Rüdiger Schlömer Designs Typefaces for Knitting — Colossal

Rather than build the letter "A" or "R" through digital layers, Rüdiger Schlömer constructs the alphabe stitch by stitch.

I’ve worked on a small tool to animate and record variable fonts. The Variable Font Animator – A drawing interface makes animating and testing variable fonts easy and fun. You can even record videos directly in your browser. There is no need to take a screen capture anymore. That way you can specify the final video format on the fly.

tbdr is a platform where fonts, tools, and experiments live next to each other. Tools like propotion prediction help type designers in their daily work life.

For a no-code type person, FontBakery makes no sense to me. Anyone has some time or resources to educate me on how to use this thing?

How does one get featured on @typecache (typecache.com)? Do you submit the release via email? Or…

Does anyone have any insights about offering trial fonts?

Did you feel a change after you started offering them?

I'm still trying to figure out if they're good for business.

A few concerns are:
- Easier for people to steal them, recompile and sell on platforms like Creative Market etc.
- Getting files for free takes away the buy impulse.
- Hard to police if they are used commercially.

What are your thoughts on this?

Our U&lc run is missing just one issue: vol. 1, no. 2, 1974. If you have a copy you’re willing to donate, we (and future researchers) will be very grateful!

Foundries based in the EU: how do you manage the MoR (merchant of record) situation when selling your fonts? Do you register for VAT in all EU countries or use a service?

What is a good alternative to have your foundry shop built on these days?

My foundry (typeverything) is now built on Gumroad which recently decided to increase their fees from 3% to 10%. I might have to move somewhere else but I have no coding experience or clue about where to go. Please help! Thank you!
