  1. Datatype - variable font that turns text into charts

    Datatype is an OpenType variable font that turns simple text expressions into inline charts. No JavaScript, no images, no rendering library — just type the syntax and Datatype's ligature substitution does the rest. (…)franktisellano.github.io

    Ich bin neulich via Stefan Grunds Blog darauf gestossen und hatte mir das weggelegt um mal damit rumzuspielen.
    Eben habe ich eine News gelesen, wonach der momentane SAP Chef so ziemlich genau das am Tag verdient bekommt, wie unsereiner im Jahr.

    Das ist die Gelegenheit, mal den Chart Font auszuprobieren:

    {b:1,100} Links: unsereiner, rechts: SAPman

    Hm, ok. Natürlich geht das nur mit recht simplen Sachen. Und durch die Limitierung, dass man Werte von 0-100 vergeben kann, wird es schwierig, sobald ein Wert kleiner als 1 ist -- in meinem Beispiel bräuchte ich eigentlich 0.3 zu 100 - das klappt nicht. Und bei größeren font-sizes ragt das Chart aus den umgebenden Elementen raus und muss dann mit css ein wenig rumgeschubbst werden.
    Aber trotzdem, ich finds cool.

  7. En ole nähtävästi ensimmäinen, joka on kironnut #MyFonts'in nykyistä tapaa myydä #webfont'it vain vuosittaisina lisensseinä: #Reddit'issä näkyy asiasta keskustellun jo pari vuotta sitten. Samaisesta lähteestä sain kuitenkin tiedon, että yhä on verkkokauppoja, jotka myyvät webfontteja kertamaksuperiaatteellakin, esim. #Fontspring. #fontit #kapitalismi

  9. I use Comic Sans on my resume because if you can't appreciate the fact that my website incorporates a custom #webFont that has been stripped of unused characters and loaded without causing a flash-of-unfonted-text, simply because you have preconceived notions about Comic Sans then you don't need my skillset.

  11. One can pay so much attention to increasing their blog load speed that they decided to selfhost a subset their webfont of choice in a stricter setting that that of Google Font. Until one day, a tiny little “exposé” revealed that they might have trimmed their font a bit too much.

  12. Has GMail suddenly started supporting webfonts?

    Our Creative Director insists our newsletter is suddenly showing our web font instead of the fallback since this morning in her inbox, and wants to know what I did to fix it. But I didn't do a thing 🤣

    And the problem is that she now wants me to fix our other email templates too 🙈😬

  14. Re 💸 #webfont pricing at big industry players – if anyone needs help finding alternatives, I’m more than happy to suggest good, independent and sustainable other sources with similar typefaces. The independent type scene is huge and thriving!
