Great news from #DanteEV : After taking a bit of break, the Dante Fall Meeting is back!
This year, it will take place in Wiesbaden-Erbenheim (Germany) on September 25. and 26. One main topic will be tagging, but talks about other topics are equally welcome.
Wiesbaden is right next to Mainz, so a nice opportunity to go from the very beginnings of European movable-type printing in the Gutenberg Museum to the bleeding edge of modern typography with #TeXLaTeX at the Dante Meeting.
See the website for more information about the location, agenda and registration:

Hope to see you there!

Simon CozensI wrote an image vectorisation tool which tries to do point placement and node handles the way type designers would: smooth curves, horizontal and vertical alignment, balanced handles.
It's called glyphtracy

Better late than never: This cute #TeXLaTeX lion has been living with me since 2023, but it took me until now to get him his own bicycle helmet.
A TopAnswers user is having problems with hyperlinks in metapost/luamplib. Any experts here who might be able to help?
Stephan LukasczykLöwe vermisst! Auf den @clt_news saßen die Löwen am DANTE-Stand gestern und heute auf dem Bistrotisch. Der kleine Löwe rechts vorne war heute Nachmittag noch da, beim Abbau dann aber spurlos verschwunden. Ich würde mich freuen, wenn er den Weg zu mir zurück finden würde.
