Originally on iPhone — he used an app called Brushes, by Steve Sprang.

a single font can contain a maximum of about 65000 glyphs, but there are over 150000 defined Unicode glyphs, so a single font of last resort isn’t possible, unfortunately. Complete…

The poster for Colossus:Forbin was very disappointing. The title sequence graphics for the movie were great - but the poster doesn’t show a computer at all, although the movie is a…

I think these “ink traps” might be effective on low resolution displays. But yes, those parentheses indicate it’s not a coding font.

Fortunately fonts usually don't contain perfect circles anyway, because the designer will optically correct any circles so that they don't appear to bulge. Kabel is the closest fon…

Only using words, I expect. For example Dennis Rawlins often addressed Owen Gingerich in his publications... eg http://www.dioi.org/sca.htm

My 2008 iMac plays Apple Music in the kitchen at breakfast. It got a new power supply for its 10th birthday...

The UK magazine New Scientist has been collecting occurrences of strange units in newspapers for years, and people often write in with new ones. https://www.newscientist.com/letter…
