Congratulations to the winners of this year's #SchweickartPrize, which recognizes bright ideas for planetary defense. The winning proposal outlines a plan to extend protection to thousands of orbiting satellites, plus moon bases and other space infrastructure. https://cosmiclog.com/2026/06/22/prize-winning-plan-aims-to-protect-space-infrastructure/ #asteroidDay #Space #B612

Google/ Bing/ Duck Duck Go/ whatever and search for "#b612 #font".
You'll thank me later. #TrueTypeFont #TTF -
In a groundbreaking display of font-related melodrama, #Airbus unleashes the #B612 cockpit typeface upon an unsuspecting world. ✈️ Meanwhile, GitHub's got your back with #AI witchcraft, promising to transform your spaghetti code into "intelligent apps" faster than you can say "Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V." 🤖💻

It's that time of year again: Time to contemplate the possibility of an #asteroid apocalypse - and how we can head it off. A planetary protection proposal by four graduate students has won this year's #Schweickart Prize, named after Apollo 9 astronaut (and asteroid activist) Rusty Schweickart. https://cosmiclog.com/2025/06/26/a-plan-to-manage-asteroid-mining-wins-schweickart-prize/ #B612 #Space #AsteroidDay

The #OS1337 [website](https://os1337.com) has been updated.
- We moved from #UbuntuMono to #B612Mono because the #B612 font family is licensed under SIL OFL and #Ubuntu's fonts have their own licenses.
- Also B612 is a *superior font* given that #Airbus got it designed, tested, and certified for *Civil Aviation Use*, which means it got extensive testing under harsh conditions.
Aesthetically, it's not much different!

Designing Safety-critical #interface s entails proving the #safety and operational #usability of each component.
See this experimentation-based
#typographical #design #study for safety-critical contexts.
https://enac.hal.science/hal-01022511/file/Legible_are_you_sure-.pdfIt lead #Airbus to engage a group of designers to create a special #truetype #font, called B612. You can use #B612 for free:

@root interesting...
Personally I'd hope this is a complete rework and not "derivative" for copyright reasons...
Also anyone planning a version of #OpenDyslexic that is #monospaced?

@amy @hnb Besides #OpemDyslexic I can recommend #LEXEND and #B612 as fonts optimized for legibility and ease of reading.
https://github.com/KBtechnologies/fonts/blob/ed20dce95e0ac18e57331ac921a70c8776b0b585/INDEX.tsv#L13
LEXEND is mostly intended for educational texts like schoolbooks whereas B612 was designed and developend for Airbus so it got tested to hell for legibility in adverse conditions in Aerospace applications.
Both are SIL OFL licensed and basically support all styles ome would ever demand.

CW: Long thread/9
This week, @kottke linked to #B612, a free font family "designed for aircraft cockpit screens," commissioned by #Airbus. It's got all the bells and whistles (e.g. hinting) and comes in variable and monospace faces:
B612 arrived at a fortuitous moment, coinciding with a major UI overhaul in @thunderbird, the app I spend the second-most time in (I spend more in #Gedit, the bare-bones text-editor that comes with #Ubuntu, the flavor of #GNULinux I use).

Je viens de tester la #font #b612. Elle n'est pas indiquée pour un terminal ou un éditeur, mais en contexte embarqué (avec peu de ressources disponibles).
Elle ne m'a pas convaincu pour du code :
- les symboles (apostrophe, égal…) sont plus petits
- j'ai confondu parenthèses et crochets (avant de réussir à comparer)
- le zéro pas barré, je crois que je n'y reviendrai pasRetour sur Fantasque Sans Mono https://github.com/belluzj/fantasque-sans qui est elle prévue pour le #code.
