Poor copy bothers me. My inner editor vomits with rage when it sees such frequently made little mistakes as those to be found on this dA news page, describing the Wacom “Bring Your Vision to Life” contest. Cleaning that inner editor-vomit out of my ears is a real pain. Little things such as “one in the same” instead of “one and the same” are just unnecessary, not to mention “mediums” in place of “media”, and, worst of all, “between light vs. dark…” instead of “between light and dark” or just plain “light vs. dark”. News of this sort is viewed by countless members of deviantART; you'd think they'd give it a little bit more polish.

I'm not even going near the Contest Rules. Gah. :P

On the artsy side of things, I've been working on a few typefaces, so expect to see those pop up here soon. There are a couple of titling faces and one comic lettering face, the latter of which is giving me a lot of trouble.

As for programming, I almost have a language on my hands! Prog nears a reference interpreter. Only a few thousand more lines of code before 1.0! :boogie:

So that's the update. Unusually social, aren't I?

Ahahaaa... I feel your pain, I really do.

What tools are you using? I'm finally getting around to teaching myself metafont actually, am planning on using that, along with fontforge, for my next font-that-will-remain-unfinished. Which is going to be a copy font.

I'm using FontLab Studio. FontForge is good, but I've been too lazy to get Cygwin running on my current install of Windows. :P

As a courtesy to foreign members of dA, I try to speak in the native language of every artist on whose work I comment. I do my best on my own, but often I need to make use of online translators to assist me, so I apologise in advance for my mistakes!

Pirated, I take it. Considering it's £600 or something.

I used the minGW port. Works farrrr better. I'll find the link for you.
