If my mom wanted good art on her fridge, she could’ve purchased reprints of works by Vermeer, Lichtenstein, Wyeth, etc. But she didn’t want good art – she wanted my art. Somebody with good taste could’ve made my website, but then it wouldn’t be mine. To bake bread, many feel compelled to grow wheat, mine salt, culture yeast, etc. Not me. My puerile palate yearns for buckets of Olive Garden breadsticks. That’s okay. Your “mine” is not my "mine." Some folks run self-hosted websites on solar po

Andy Walker / Android Authority Samsung’s One UI 7 has brought some much-needed pep to my phone. The new Android 15-based skin packs plenty of customization options, allowing me to craft the mobile environment of my dreams. However, despite the many, many options on tap, there’s one omission that drives me crazy. One UI 7 still lacks support for custom typefaces. Samsung makes changing font faces in One UI 7 pretty easy. Jumping into the Settings app, scrolling down to Display, and hitting Fon

In the colophon of the mass-market, pocket-paperback copy of Georges Lefebvre’s The Coming of the French Revolution that I’ve been reading for no particular reason appears the note on the type pictured above. In case you are like me and you don’t allow images to display in the emails you receive, it reads like this: The text of this book was set in Electra, a linotype face designed by W.A. Dwiggins. This face cannot be classified as modern or old-style. It is not based on any historical model,

The search engine has recently gained the ability to index the PDF file format. The change will deploy over a few months. Extracting text information from PDFs is a significantly bigger challenge than it might seem. The crux of the problem is that the file format isn’t a text format at all, but a graphical format. It doesn’t have text in the way you might think of it, but more of a mapping of glyphs to coordinates on “paper”. These glyphs may be rotated, overlap, and appear out of order, with

It’s one of the most iconic PSAs for a certain breed of millennial who was downloading free movies and music in the mid-2000s. The anti-piracy ad “You Wouldn’t Steal a Car” is seared into countless brains for its goofy music, its silly message and its distinctive style. But what if that style itself was pirated? That’s the claim being made by folks on social media who have done a bit of digging. The TV ad, which is available on YouTube, premiered in 2004 and if you haven’t seen it in a while, i

WTF?! In what must be the very definition of irony, one of the most infamous anti-piracy campaigns from two decades ago may have included a font that was, in essence, stolen. The "You Wouldn't Steal a Car" PSA is still remembered by many people old enough to recall its 2004 launch, but it seems the ad didn't heed its own warning. The ad first appeared in cinemas in 2004 as a joint production of the UK's Federation Against Copyright Theft (FACT) and the Motion Picture Association of America (MPA

When I first started implementing the SSD1306 OLED on my prototype, I grabbed the quickest and easiest to implement driver I could find - a driver Espressif shipped as part of ESP-BSP that has since been removed. It worked great, updated the screen at about 40 hz, and was very light on resources. However, it only supports a single font, and isn't set up easily to support adding others without doing a fair amount of work to get each glyph into a specific format of C array. I wanted to add a diffe

The HTML spec used to define an outline algorithm that gave <h1> elements an implicit semantic heading level based on how many sectioning elements ( <section> , <aside> , <nav> , and <article> ) it was nested inside. The browser rendering was such that section > h1 would have the same font-size and margin as <h2> . The section > section > h1 would be represented as <h3> , and so on. The default rendering was implemented in browsers in their UA styles, but not the heading level in the accessibil

Saturday 29 Mar 2025 For a few months now I’ve received sporadic reports that my website was broken. They said the layout was askew and things were sized strangely. They had screenshots to prove it. This was embarrassing for a professional website builder. Thankfully my audience is tech-savvy and the Grammarly browser extension was identified as a prime suspect. When this extension was installed it broke my website, simple as that. My initial response was: “Sorry, their bug, not mine”. But aft

Kerning, the Hard Way 2025-03-14 by David Jones Here is a font i am working on; i hope you like it. The letterforms are reversed out against a vertically striped background. In a manner similar to Schaeffer Versalien. The graphic effect is inspired-by/stolen-from Schaefer Versalien, but the letterforms are modified from my found stencil font Arugula. Bear in the mind that with a font like this, the parts that are drawn are the black parts. So, let's consider a word like SALTY: Looks okay?
