GitLab 的字型：GitLab Sans 與 GitLab Mono

前幾天翻資料的時候看到的字型：「GitLab Fonts」，找了一下在 2023 年年出的時候就發表了：「Get to know the new GitLab typefaces」。 其中 GitLab Sans 的部分是改自 Inter： This font is based on Inter (version 4), but with a few adjustments[.] 而 GitLab Mono 則是改自 JetBrains Mono： This font is based on JetBrains Mono, but with a few adjustments. 裡面把 ligature 關掉算是我還蠻喜歡的方向，選用的兩個字型我也還算喜歡，換上去用看看…

something something font smoothing...
Any typography nerds care to chime in their favorite font rendering on devices with screens. Currently MacOS (with font smoothing disabled.) and whatever font the Pixel is using is pretty fucking sexy to me. The Adwaita fonts in Gnome 48 are pretty nice too, but the way fonts are rendered in Linux still feels just ok (not great) to me.

Huh... Nebula streaming service announced a new brand typeface called "Nebula Sans".

It's based on Source Sans 3, thus is also licensed under the terms of the SIL Open Font License.

nebulasans.com/

Unfortunately, it has the issue of an uppercase "i" looking too similar to a lowercase "L", which seems like a regression from Source Sans 3.

Probably done to not have to deal with licensing Whitney from Hoefler & Co.

🤯 Behold! Yet another ✨ #groundbreaking ✨ #font that promises to revolutionize the universe, because clearly, Source #Sans wasn't enough. #Nebula Sans: for when you want your text to look exactly like it did before, but with the smug satisfaction of knowing it's "new" and "premium." 😂 Now, go watch the 10-hour documentary about how they added two styles and six weights. 🎥

@LinuxAndYarn @catsalad
The Accordion Ninjas are a joke that appeared on the other site ten years ago that made me and maybe two other accordionists (and maybe an organist) laugh

Years later I started making button/badges which have never sold tons — they’re so deeply inside 🪗 — but make me smile every time I see them

@luke helped make #Tango Ninja ones last year which dig the joke even deeper, but again 😹

They use the fab Accordion #Font you can encode messages with!

Three round white button badges with Accordion register symbols with the little circles and dots on them. Each one looks a little bit like a ninja face with eyes. The first one with just two dots is labelled “ninja”. The second with two dots and one like a mouth is labelled “surprised ninja“. The third with just one.in the middle is labelled “cyclops ninja“.
Six round white button badges with Accordion register switches on them all of which look a little bit like round cartoon ninjas. The first one is labelled ninja with two dots for eyes. The second is surprise ninja which has one.like an open mouth. The third is “pirate ninja“ which has one dot on one side like it’s Missin an eye. The fourth is labelled “piñata ninja, which has a one dot for a mouth and no other dots so it looks like its eyes are covered. The fifth is the “cyclops ninja” with one dot in the middle of its face. And the last is the “ninja master“ which is a master switch symbol with five dots. Like it has all the eyes it can have.

Been Tinkering in Speccy BASIC to PRINT a double height font. For all of its flexibility Sinclair BASIC doesn't really do text that great. You can PRINT AT X,Y co-ordinates and set INK and PAPER colour but that's it. No bold, height or width size changes. You can use alternative fonts by loading them in and using 2 POKEs to use them.
My BASIC program is very slow and uses a very similar algorithm that I would use for a Z80 version. Its all PEEKS and POKES.
#ZXSpectrum #BASIC #Font #Z80

Sample screen of double height text written in Sinclair BASIC. There are various lines of text with ink and paper colours set and blue border. One of highlighted features is the ability to PRINT to the bottom two lines of the screen that are not normally accessible in BASIC without some extra jiggery pokery.

“Reimagining Fluid Typography” by @mia

> Never do pixel math with `em` and `rem` units. That’s where we went wrong, by assuming that `16px == 1em` is a reliable fact.

It reminds me a lot of what I was pretty vocal about a few years ago, including “People don't change the default 16px font size in their browser (You wish!)” and “Users DO change font size”.

But I don't understand how this code…
