So apparently this is old news, but I only noticed it for the first time this morning.


It rolled out slowly I think. A few people I know didn't have it until very recently.


Hey Andy, please consider choosing a more readable font for your blog. I would love to read this article, but the thin font is hurting my eyes.


Thanks for the feedback - I've been wondering about this for a while and you're right. It's just finding something that will work well!


This is a good survey of some of the beauties hidden in Google webfonts



Just for another data point, I think it's totally fine.


Added src/build.bat. Just missed it with my .gitignore settings.


Relax, I've added an MIT licence :).


Will add an MIT licence tonight.


I would read this, but it hurts my eyes. Respectfully consider a higher text/background combination: http://contrastrebellion.com/


Done.


I bought this font last year because it immediately struck me as timeless. 20-year old packaging with the same font is a good indication to me that the font will stay current over the next twenty.


My weekend project. I run Windows on my Macbook Air for development and pressing Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V for Copy/Paste kills my pinky and messes with my brain when I switch to OS X, so I made MacWinKey to swap the Left Control and Windows Keys. This lets you use Cmd+C, Cmd+V for copy/paste, consistent with OS X.

Uses a low-level keyboard hook to inject the correct keys, so no reboot required.


Surely this would be acceptable as satire on his part?


Hey pg, I flagged your reply (can't downvote yet) because I really tried to like the design, but ended up questioning it - trying to understand it, without dismissal, just as jug6ernaut expressed it. Your comment on the other hand, dismissed this feeling outright while adding no value to my understanding or knowledge of design.
