I made something. It sounds boring: it's an application to look at fonts. But it can do a lot! Most of which I described on a little web page, where you'll also find a download link: fontgoggles.org

While learning more about the Hangul script at @blackfoundry, I made a little webpage that allows you to navigate the huge character set by selecting Jamos. You can also drop a font (that supports Hangul) on the page. Maybe it is useful for others, too.

zsh uses square brackets for some syntax. Which means all Python docs that say `pip install something[optional]` are broken on macOS.
Yay.
Easy fixed with double quotes:
pip install "something[optional]"

FontTools 4.38.0 is out! Thanks to @behdad, the instancer can now change a variable font's axis default value, e.g. you have 2 masters Thin+Black and want a Regular in between, or wish to restrict min/max to a range that doesn't include the old default

Someone asked so I had to figure it out again, so here’s a note for anyone that needs it, including my future self:
Building, testing, and inspecting OpenType “mark” and “mark-to-mark” features

Disgusting.
You must know this: Today Anna Yakupova, the CEO of Paratype, russian company registered in US, welcomes the annexation of the occupied territories of Ukraine.
Type design community need to pay attention to this. Please don’t work with @ParaTypeNews and don’t use their fonts

Figma just sold for $20 Billion.
The highest price ever for a private SaaS company. An incredible 50x multiple their $400 million ARR.
Here are the 10 reasons Figma dominated the design world:

There's no way to upgrade or fix applications (and code bases) that date back to the 80s to adapt them to present day.
Figma took a huge & necessary step forward in addressing how design *process* works, which isn't something that can be bolted onto those older Adobe apps.

feels like
Figma : Adobe
has undertones of
Instagram : Facebook/meta
In the sense that ten years from now figma will be everything for adobe, and this deal will look freakishly cheap

@justvanrossum That's super cool, Just! Here is Fontra running on a chromebook. Finally I don't always need to have a Mac at hand just to inspect some font sources :)

Great thread. Not about the money, but about the tech. Files vs. no files.
I'm not surprised that Adobe is acquiring Figma for $20B, nor that Wall Street doesn't understand it and $ADBE stock is down more than $20B today. It's a smart move for Adobe because it's nearly impossible to make legacy software applications multi-user collaborative. Thread: 🧵
