Remember the "You wouldn't steal a car" PSA? Turns out they pirated both the font AND the music. Exhibits:

pirated font embedded in this PDF: web.archive.org/web/2005122320…

and about the music: theransomnote.com/music/news/a…

EDIT: more context re the composer, music, and royalties; the story is ofc more nuanced and apparently debunked: torrentfreak.com/sorry-the-you…

Anti-Piracy Advert Music Was Stolen - Ransom Note

One of the biggest cases of hypocrisy was uncovered last year with little more than a whisper. Most of us will remember seeing the “You wouldn’t steal a car” piracy adverts on every dvd we played in the early 00s.

Are you interested in working on GNOME, writing Rust apps, or working with Fonts? If so, you may be interested in taking a look at gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-f… :)

This port may take a while, and I greatly appreciate any help available. I've laid out a list of tasks to be done before merging, and if anyone wants to take something on let me know and we can work together.

If you want to help with the effort, please join #fonts:gnome.org on Matrix :) (matrix.to/#/#fonts:gnome.org)

Draft: general: Initial port to Rust (!49) · Merge requests · GNOME / Fonts · GitLab

This is an initial port of Fonts to Rust. The port doesn't do much - it just loads a list of fonts and displays it. There's a lot...

OK, friends. I could use your boosting powers on this one AND I could use your eyes for 5–10 min if you'd like to be helpful.

I've done the launch on the updated, multi-lingual & multi-device version of my font-spacing research test site. Please have a visit to letter.fit and take a look at a sample or two.

You don't have to be in #fonts #type or #typography — this is just "look at this sample, highlight things that stick out"; the value is in wide samples & lots of variety!

When you first visit the site, you can choose the language you want to work in and whether you want to look at desktop or mobile layouts...
There are a couple of questions (all ANONYMOUS!) about general demographics like your language, if you use glasses, and if you've had typography studies or work history
Then you get to look at samples! Each sample you'll see is a page of generic text, but in a randomly-chosen font. Just highlight any letter pairs that look too close or too far apart. That's it!
In the end, we collate all the data and look for patterns. What do people see, what do they see most frequently, do different font styles or experience levels make a difference; that kind of thing. But all that data-crunching is on the researchers to do. You just have to look at fonts!
