Make Your Own Fonts, In a Web Browser (Slashdot)
"Although it's been up for a few weeks, today is the official launch of FontStruct, a web-based font creation tool. That's right: in your web browser, you can build your own typeface, and download it as a TrueType font. The site's user agreement requires you to release your creations online under one of the Creative Commons licenses. The typefaces tend to be a little blocky, but it's still impressive (and a great way to pass time)." >> Read More...

Our Favorite Typefaces of 2007 (Typographica)
Typographica’s fourth annual review showcases the best in new typeface design. Twenty-five of the world’s brightest graphic and type designers selected their favorite font releases of the year. We welcome to our regular cast of contributors: David Berlow, Ellen Lupton, and Erik Spiekermann, among others. This edition brings two changes. First, the description has evolved from “fonts” to “typefaces”. Yes, there is a difference. Mark Simonson explains it bes t: “The physical embodiment of a collection of letters (whether it’s a case of metal pieces or a computer file) is a font. When referring to the design of the collection (the way it looks) you call it a typeface.” >> Read More...

The font of all personality (BBC News)
The choice of font used in e-mails and type-written letters could say more about an individual's personality than their creative writing skills. Graphology - the art of studying handwriting - has been used for centuries to try to analyse people's characters, but since the demise of personal handwriting, the experts have moved on to typefaces to look for clues to our identities. If the experts are correct, choice of font could prove important when writing a letter to your bank manager or a spurned lover. The Psychology of Fonts, commissioned by Lexmark Printers and written by psychologist Dr Aric Sigman explains how a typeface will significantly influence what the reader thinks about you. Courier is seen as the choice of "sensible shoes" type of people or "anoraks" and curvy icons like Georgia or Shelly suggest a bit of a "rock chick" personality. The study suggests fonts can be matched to top personalities, and cites the following examples: >> Read More...

FontViewer 3 : Preview and Manage Your Fonts to Improve Performance (PC Magazine)
Having unique fonts is great for making your documents look special or for putting a distinctive caption on a photograph or video clip. But if you have hundreds of fonts, you may be slowing down Windows, word processors, and other programs that use fonts. Applications like Word and Photoshop load all of the available fonts into dropdown boxes. If you have hundreds of fonts, your application loading times might be slower than a system with just a few fonts. In addition, it can be difficult to find the font you want when scrolling through a list from a dropdown box. They usually appear small and it can be hard to see many fonts at once. >> Read More...

Cyberclinic : Font Hunt (Independent, UK)
In the 12 years since I bought my first computer, I've paid for precisely one font. One. That was when I was attempting to learn Hungarian (long story) and I couldn't find the double-umlaut the Magyars use – so I had to fork out for a special Central European one. There have been times when my computer was full of fonts I'd picked up here and there – before I realised that, actually, I wasn't ever going to be a graphic designer, so I junked them. These days I make do with the pre-installed fonts on my machine, and reliable old warhorses such as Arial and Times do me proud. But there's no doubting that font piracy is endemic. I mean, have you ever bought one? >> Read More...

Publisher purges thousands of unlicensed fonts (CNET News.com, CA)
Publishing giant Faber & Faber is wiping away the chance of costly lawsuits by using software to purge unlicensed fonts. The London publishing house, which has printed classic authors from T.S. Eliot to W.H. Auden, found hundreds of thousands of unlicensed fonts on their machines using software from Monotype Imaging. The haul could have cost hundreds of thousands if left unaddressed--a recent Business Software Alliance enquiry valued 11,000 unlicensed typefaces at another London publishing house as being worth 80,000 pounds ($156,000). >> Read More...
