@davelab6@Wondertypa@ATypI The last conference in the US was in 1999. I think placement of the H.Q. is not so much an issue as wanting the conference in other countries?
@adamtwar I think the main reason why Sellers worked as Clouseau, and not Benigni or Martin, was because Sellers played Clouseau for 15 years, and more after he died, before anyone else had a chance.;)
@MarkFonts Thanks for asking. The story of Starling’s history is on the Wikipedia page of Mike Russel Parker, so there is no need for guessing. He was the owner of his work, and his successors have the rights. No drama-dairy, pressure or legal armies are, or have ever, been involved. Okay!
@DSType_Foundry So, if they are not free, then the institution are not going to use it on the web? This idea that brand fonts Can Be Kept to the Brand… ended almost 20 years ago. You are listening to a really dead idea from a person filled with them.
@hhpapazian Sorry I’m late, Teach! That’s (sadly) funny cuz from ’40 to ’45 FDR built the 1%, and buying constitutional amendments is extremely… rare. But you’re close… FDR for sure ate people pets.

@behdadesfahbod@calderon_type@jeremytribby Sub par in what way? I think that the manual one that is nonlinear respects the fact that smaller font sizes have a narrower range from which they can be viewed, relative to larger sizes that have a wider range of distances from which they can be viewed.
@calderon_type@behdadesfahbod@jeremytribby I typically observe the range of weight required to remain the same appearance over a given size range, so the user gets a wght400, e.g., appears the same at all sizes. Then, I do the same for the wght extremes, over the same size range. I.E. an old tradition.
@behdadesfahbod@calderon_type@jeremytribby If the stepping of weights is planned, like here, independent of size of use, how valuable is it to think about “visual perception”?
