Photofonts

Yesterday I read about photofonts in a russian typography community at LiveJournal.

Even if you don’t read in Russian, have a look at examples that are provided there.

At the moment photofonts are supported only in several applications, but this might change, because the idea was “floating in the air” and is likely to be widely adopted soon.

Inventors are a russian firm Fontlab Ltd. that is known for its great proprietary typographic tools, oriented towards western users.

So far…

It looks like I will finally pay for hosting and finish my website. I’m just really tired by having snapshots here, there and everywhere. They should be in one place really, and Jakub‘s Original looks like a perfect tool for a web gallery.

So far, CREATE is moving forward. There is still no common decision on name of root directory, however.

To my excitement, after setting up SpamBlacklist extension on mediawiki we have much less issues with spammers.

Several interesting software project are about to release new code: Inkscape 0.43, Audacity 1.2.4 and 1.3.0, Hugin 0.5, Grisbi 0.5.8. And all of them except Inkscape require updated translation into Russian :)

Besides, Bulia claims to have ~120 Kbyte of diffs of new code in his local Inkscape development tree, which means that I should once again forget about using stable version of this awesome application ;)
