"Christian Nationalists" came to Gloucester again, so this year's sign had to be a bit less subtle.

Katherine Rundell - who you should read on absolutely anything she writes about - is now writing about AI. "If you set out to design from scratch a tool to facilitate authoritarian rule, it would look exactly like AI."

I think I'm going to write a long blog article about the state of AI font generation. I don't think a lot of the typography community actually know what's going on, because there's a classic lack of communication going on not just between ML researchers and type designers, but also between Westerners (these AI font models suck!) and Chinese/Japanese (oh yeah we use those in production already).

Tiffin has a particular language he uses to talk to flies. #catsofmastodon

I need some Internet magic. I have to get in touch with a man called Rob Small, who lives on a houseboat called Rosetta. And that's all I've got. Somewhere in the UK, possibly south west, but don't know where. Don't know anything else.

Hmm, should be scriptable if you have an asterisk in the font already...

Hmm, well, there is this font idea I've had for some time...

Kim Kyung-Hoon took this photo of a press conference by the CEOs of Nissan, Honda and Mitsubishi, and accidentally created the perfect album cover.

I've always complained that checking a font's "language support" just by counting Unicode codepoints is unreliable and incomplete; the font has to *behave* correctly to support a language.
Shaperglot is my (and @npub1pt8…298y's) response to this problem. And now it has a web interface so you can drop your fonts on and get a report on what works, what doesn't and what can be improved.
Try it out at https://googlefonts.github.io/shaperglot/ (all processing is done on your local computer; nothing is uploaded.)
