HORRAY! You can use a Chrome extension to put the font back :) https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/the-old-github-fon... https://github.com/rreusser/the-old-github-font

Yeah, the new font is HORRIBLE!! I have to move back from the screen about 12 inches to read it without my eyes hurting. Way too wide!

Yeah but those companies, Coca Cola etc, can only pay as long as Twitter have the user-base. And if the adverts cause users to go visit the site less, then their revenue stream fro…

What is the actual issue? What is the technical problem that Twitter are actually facing? Does it simply come down to something like processing power?

It's amazing to have watched Twitter grow in the last four years. Now people even tweet from space. I think with regards to the architecture, it's not an old problem, and there are…

Agreed. Mozilla are also doing their part with FireFox, they have something called "35 Days" coming up to co-inside with the public release of 3.5, which is packed with juicy HTML5…

When you talk about shifting the rights problem one step further away, I wonder what exactly you mean? Surely the issue is the same regardless of the application layer in which the…

Changed the example (and updated processing.js) to include mouseClicked().

Updated this.

It was not intended to be a solution to text on the canvas for anyone but people using the Processing.js language. There are already great tools for TTF rendering for websites like…

Well it really is designed as a low-barrier language. It doesn't have all the shortcuts you'd see in a low-level language. Even though you can use JavaScript in Processing.js, I us…

True, good point.

What are you getting at exactly? The code in the demo script or the code in the library?

Easy enough to make it work for iPhone though, if that's what you are trying to do.

It was not meant to behave like text as such. It was a quick before-breakfast response to someone's "how-to" request. Processing.js is a visualization language, not a replacement f…
