  1. @splorp Yeah! Tweeted about it a while back. Wish I knew who to send flowers to. Send out a Mountie investigation squad!
  2. Q. What do Arabic translators & TrueType hinters have in common? A. A sudden surge in demand for their services. Answer the call!
  3. @Hirkani Totally agree. You should write and complain. http://getsatisfaction.com/...
  4. @hirkani @mitjamiklavcic Typekit doesn’t support CE character sets … yet.
  5. @mitjamiklavcic Kerning is dependent on the browser. Firefox supports. Safari and IE do not. Have a look at your Tisa in Firefox. #typekit
  6. @kupfers You just copy-and-paste it into your Head. No biggie. Come over to Berlin in 2 weeks. I'll show you.
  7. @kupfers Add FF Dagny to my kit, add "h2" as a selector. Had to change a couple of px sizes in my CSS to make it fit better, but that’s it.
  8. Set http://typographica.org/ heads in FF Dagny http://j.mp/5YsgrE Took 10 mins & I can switch fonts at any time. Thus the beauty of Typekit.
  9. Why Rent When You Can Own? ⇢ http://j.mp/4uvtUx (via @hipertipo) If nothing else, read Simonson’s posts. #webfonts #typekit
  10. @H_FJ Everyone can benefit from your critique. Let's hear it.
  11. @elliottkember @typekit You can encourage WebKit to support kerning by filing an enhancement ticket here: https://bugs.webkit.org/
  12. Type[&]Design 2009 conference is live: http://river-valley.tv/ (via @ameliebonet) No vid but slides & audio are up. Thomas Milo currently.
  13. @hewnandhammered Don't think any Garamond belongs online except for heads. But yes, no ITC Garamond. None. Maybe if you’re Urban Outfitters.
  14. @qu1j0t3 Indeed. And FF Clan. http://j.mp/4E063d
  15. Step in right direction for separating webfont wheat from chaff: @nicewebtype’s specimen page for testing fonts on web. http://j.mp/1xNxyb
  16. old ITC fonts with huge x-heights/counters would probably work pretty well as screen fonts with some extra tracking. (via @jamespuckett)

  18. Look what the Tide swept in: http://j.mp/CkjJn
  19. Terminal Design has a new website & 2 new families: http://j.mp/2PcVCH (via @jamespuckett) Pretty, but Flash doesn’t do the type justice.
  20. In Template Editor of GrandTotal … noticed Parachute’s PFDIN looks awful - very bad kerning. FF DIN by FontFont works (via @HDSchellnack)
