Comment on Making Software: How to make a font

Comments

Thank you, that was perfect Sumday-morning reading: Easy to read yet dense information-wise.

I learned today: The difference between ttf and otf, what strong and weak characters are, what an Em is and where kerning and leading really come from.

My favorite parts: Learning where the magic of ligatures and those tiny postion-changes in moments like "To" come from.

Upvoted and favorited!
