@colinmford this is exactly why matte-out or boolean operations would be so useful for open type.

FontGoggles is coming to Fontra...

Fellow *non*-Americans—are you using any or all of the U.S. support for Israeli wars and the Israeli genocide on Palestinians, the U.S. attack on Venezuela, the annexation threats against Greenland, or other U.S. policy decisions to move away from U.S. products and services?

I spent like an hour researching PDF imposition apps, but when I realised I can tile a PDF using drawbot it was done in about 10 minutes. Drawbot is awesome!

Here is the gist (only 30 lines of code):

@eWalthert SF has a mono variant. I think file names should be set in the mono always. But as we know apple cares more for aesthetics.

@jlarmstrongiv I’m using RoboFont. The skin is Candy.

Just a simple visualization of vectors, normals, degrees in a Bézier curve geometry.

It would have been great if I could design while walking outside.

After working on a condensed design for a couple of months coming back to my personal project… ow everything is stretched now, what am I going to do! Any eye exercise type designers have for this?

Since wikipedia is removing articles that doesn’t align with USA government interests I’m stopping my donations. Hiding information is never going to spread the knowledge. My donations was probably a drop in a bucket, but I hope others will follow.

A word is the representation of my thought and most of time what I read is the truth partially told. It’s the reality without all its details. Some of my notes are so simplified, later I can’t decode them. This makes me so skeptical about what I consume as a source of knowledge. I always think I am biased about everything, I am only shifting my position in the vast universe of semantics depending on what new perspective I see. Nothing is real. Of course mathematics a is the only exception.

Starting to see accounts that have been compromised after clicking on the fake 'verify your account' spam that's doing the rounds here.

Please boost for visibility:

* Familiarise yourself with you instance's admin and moderator accounts and ONLY trust account-related messages from those accounts.

* Do not click links without confirming with your instance staff that they're legit!

* Generally, any problems with your account will be brought up via email, not from a random fediverse handle.

You're much more likely to become destitute or a displaced refugee than you are a millionaire, so stop dreaming about your personal gain and start acting in the interests of a fair and equal society, devoid of kings and tyrants.
