this might just be the perfect video

I guess overhearing this kind of conversation only happens in The Hague (in Dutch):
❝Oh yes, the T_h ligature – it’s such an Adobe invention❞
I’m not a fan of it, and I held that same opinion for a long time – but I’ve also seen it in older fonts (which is what I communicated to those KABK students after chatting them up 😆)

@keyboards @jamesholden That’s the keyboard for the Morisawa MK-300 typesetting system. I just looked at photos of it today!

@justvanrossum @lianghai @fontra This issue (and repo!) might be interesting for you:

@kupfers Don’t ask. Any hotel is bike-friendly – if they aren’t they don’t deserve your business.
I also had this kind of anxiety in the past – turns out there’s no need to worry about bringing a bike into the room.

@jasonsantamaria@typo.social @typographica@typo.social Ross Milne’s “Charlie” (released by @typotheque@typo.social) also explored this idea:

@Aurora_Bee@deadinsi.de @kai@typo.social The money “saved” is an expense that’s transferred to travelers in a pinch. Who benefits? Uber.
Uber rates: 70€ from Leiden to Schiphol last night, another 70€ from Amsterdam-Zuid to Schiphol this morning.
Can’t speak of “robbery in broad daylight” because the sun wasn’t up in either of those moments.

@johnbutler@typo.social @db@typo.social I am reading the article on Source Serif, which is a subject I’m intimately familiar with. While the Groki-article is much more in-depth, there’s just a lot of fluff, and stuff that would rightfully receive a [citation needed] on Wikipedia.
I know some Wikipedia articles are sparse, but I’d rather read about the essence of a subject than marketing-like copy which just takes a lot of time and energy.

@justvanrossum @mathieureguer I’m curious about that as well. Which PDF viewers?
Perhaps it has to do with the Type flag (embedding bit)?
In my mind, all production/final and design/friendly names should be arbitrary – what matters is the cmap and features.

@kentlew@typo.social I’ve made good experiences with enzymatic (“oxy”) detergents. In a bucket with water, agitate occasionally. After some hours, wash as normal. White T-shirts restored!

@kupfers@mastodon.social I was surprised to learn that calling other countries isn’t that easy from the US.
To call a German number, (for example +49 228 91650), you have to dial 011 (escape code) 49 (country code) 228 (city) 91650 (number).

@paulvanderlaan orfautothint also might be worth a try. I can experiment later if it’s not too urgent

@jenskutilek @kai I guess this Kurutoga stuff makes more sense when looking at LAMY’s (relatively recent) ownership change:

@kai Tried to get one for you at Siam Paragon. There I was informed it’s a “Japanese market only” product.

@kai@typo.social @Aurora_Bee@deadinsi.de Nope. Connexxion buses from Haarlem or Leiden were also suspended yesterday. Guess how I know.

@kai@typo.social @Aurora_Bee@deadinsi.de I chuckled. Unfortunately it’s personal experience – 4 hours from The Hague to Schiphol has to be some kind of record.

@kai It depends on the goal. In this image, the values are read from the UFO, which makes them more versatile.
When reading from font files, you might see them more unified because of metrics overrides.

@pixelambacht @ohno I also haven’t been able to get one at a reasonable shipping price – maybe we should bulk order?
