Andrew Glassner´s notebook

One of the great benefits of the revolution in desktop publishing is that it has opened up the doors of typeface design to anyone with a computer and patience. Dozens of Web sites offer visitors thousands of free typefaces. Most of these free fonts are the work of inspired amateurs who had an idea for a typeface; they created it using commercial design tools, and then released their work into the world. You can browse and collect new typefaces. Every typeface installed in an operating system consumes system resources. Most work on the metrics and user interface would definitely pay off in a more pleasant and robust tool for finding typefaces.
