We've released v0.11 of vfbLib!
What began as a reverse engineering project in 2022 now has had a kind of official blessing from Yuri Yarmola of FontLab, who generously let me have a look at his original VFB code.
I am very grateful, for this has shed light on some intricacies of the format I would probably never have figured out on my own.

@w__h_ my hunch was that it comes from typewriters, and indeed I found these examples in manufacturers (Ransmayer & Rodrian) catalogs from 1928 and 1940. There is no description for the different kinds of fractions, unfortunately.

Daddy, what’s Monotype?
Well, son, Monotype is a one-of-a-kind platform that delivers scarce evergreen font IP, software and solutions through a scaled omnichannel monetization engine.
A variable font with weight and serif axes :)
(Isn’t it remarkable that when you just slap some serifs on a narrow monolinear font, it instantly gives off Officina vibes?)

@johnbutler@typo.social @letterror@typo.social @typographica@typo.social … but at least they found a General Counsel who had used a computer before! (Or how do you avoid licensing any fonts at all?)

@kupfers@mastodon.social @tphinney@typo.social @frankrolf@typo.social 718 for Brooklyn is the one US area code I know off the top of my head. Now watch my amazing brain taking half an hour to unearth the rest of the dial-a-song phone number.

@mitradranirban @fontra This generates an exe to install another exe? Wouldn’t a msi file be more desirable?

@jaf Just sign the latest agreement every month! Don’t mind the fine print, they just want to help you!
I’ve released version 1.1 of my free coding and UI font family, Sudo.
Each style contains 1649 glyphs. Sudo supports the DIN 91379 and @koeberlin@mastodon.green Latin S & M character sets, as well as Cyrillic and Latin, totalling a massive 416 languages for 3.3 billion people. according to @rosetta@mastodon.design’s Hyperglot.

@SophieWietlisbach @onpaperwings A big cheer for the German book trade system! Even though the publisher is Swiss, you can order the book at no extra cost through your local book shop. I ordered mine on Sunday and could pick it up on Tuesday.
Haven't had much time to read yet, though. But what I’ve read is an absolute treasure trove of typewriter nerdery. And that the book is typeset in your own typewriter font digitization is just lovely :)
Is there a best practice around setting up a modern Python module repo with pyproject.toml, uv, linting, tox, pytest, coverage, GitHub actions ...? There are so many different approaches, I'm struggling to bring it all together. #Python #GitHub #astral_uv #tox

@krono@toot.berlin I think they're targeting potential investors/buyers there. Can't say if this is language that appeals to those, as it is so far outside my normal mindset ;)

@jla@typo.social Good catch!
How is the orthography council not required to publish diffs for each version of their orthography rules!? Makes it really difficult to notice reversals like this.

@rq@mastodon.online I‘d have to talk to my boss about releasing it. If you just need it for one conversion, feel free to send me your UFO and I can compile the TT hinting for you.

@DunwichType@typo.social I think by "scarce evergreen font IP" they mean Helvetica and Gotham

@eWalthert@typo.social I was just a while ago wondering what became of him. Hadn't heard anything from him since I left Twitter. May he rest in peace!
