I don't understand how Steve Martin could do something this amazing and hilarious and never come even remotely close ever again. His timing was perfect and I can't get enough of this movie. Bernadette Peters was an absolute doll and any scene with M. Emmet Walsh was absolute gold.
- mjgildea, Wednesday, October 27, 2010
I've only just got round to seeing this one and I can see why it is much loved. Steve Martin used to be funny, it's such a shame he isn't anymore. I think if I'd seen it as a youngster I would probably be quite found of it but viewing it as an adult 31 years after it was made I just found it to be quite good.

***Warning: Spoilers from Breaking Dawn below. ***
Wow...I mean what can I say? I finished the book a day ago, but I've been in to much of a shock to write. I keep hoping this is one of my weird dreams and I will wake up with the real Breaking Dawn to read. Unfortunately, this isn't happening...I've been a loyal reader of the Twilight Saga, but this last book really, really killed me.
1, The whole pregnancy, I couldn't believe she was pregnant because that's immpossible!! It never crossed my mind, if vampire women can't have children then why can vampire men have living sperm? Hmmm? If the women are frozen in time, then so are the men. Huge plot hole for me right there. I mean a really big plot hole. (Also calling her baby "nudger" while it was inside her, I hate hate hate that word, it's just ugly looking and sounding.)
2, Bella is just 18, she's immature, clusmy (how can she have a baby? She would trip and drop it on it's head, I guess it's a good thing it's half vampire), and she doesn't even like children. But wait, that all changes when she gets pregnant...yeah it doesn't work that way. (Also even I figured out the baby wanted blood before Carlisle did, I mean hello, he's a vampire doctor and really smart, he couldn't put two and two together that he needed Jacob the idiot to think of it?!?!).
3, Rosalie was gaining respect from me in the third book, I thought we were going to see a new side of her. Well she totally screwed over that possibility with her lack of disregard for Bella's life, all because she wants a baby!
4, Edward lending Bella out to Jacob just so she can have kids?!? Whoa now, this isn't a pimp or prostitute ring here. Then totally changing his mind about hating the baby after he learns it "loves her". Your kidding right? I also felt there was no relationship between Edward and his daugther. I think I saw him holding once in the entire book?
5, Jacob imprinting on the baby!?!? It was creepy with Quil and that baby, now we have another pedophile here? I wonder how the baby will react when she finds out about how Jacob lusted after her Mom, KISSED her Mom, and thought about doing other itimate things with her Mom. If I found out that's how my bf felt about my Mom, I would be beyond disturbed. And it's like the baby is just the next best thing next to Bella, so he better replace her with it. Also why develop the Leah/Jacob relationship when all he does is turn around and imprint? I always thought they would get together, especially when they had their heart to heart talk. I pretty much wasted my time reading that.
6, The baby's name. OMFG, it has to be the gayest name ever possible...Renesmee. Wow, just wow...and the nickname is not any better really.
7, Bella just totally skipping the newborn stage because she can keep her emotions under control, yeah right. Ex. During the honeymoon she wakes up sobbing because in her DREAM they stop having sex.
8, She still gets to have her parents in her life? (Well Charlie). How's that fair? does she give up anything? (Pretty much no...). I thought one point of the series was to show sacrifices, you have to give something up, to get something else, because not everything is going to go perfect.
9, The J. Jenks storyline was pointless. Totally and absolutely pointless. Just wasting my time there...
10, The battle! Well the "suppose to be" battle. I was waiting for the Volturi showdown forever, I wanted to see all the fighting with the new vamps, but there was no fighting. At all, hardly. (I don't count Alec and Jane's vain attempts.) Because Bella becomes the Sasuke of Breaking Dawn and is unstoppable and no one can get past her shield. (She is also Sasuke-ish because everyone acts like she is the most amazing vampire ever in history, and she can control her power so well just after 1 month?!?)... And then the Volturi just leave...leave!! Their the great and powerful Volturi of the vamp world and they leave cause their to scared to fight? Very plausible.
11, Edward calling Jacob his SON. This relationship took turn a total 180. It was just to weird, I mean their friends now...it's just weird...as I said.
12, There was like no Alice in the book! She was my next fav vamp after Edward, and now that I mentioned it, I felt like Edward didn't really play a huge part. This is why I loved Twilight some much was because of Edward, and him and Bella fighting the odds to be together, but this book was just totally different. They really didn't have much of a relationship that we saw, because they just have sex all the time at night, and we never got to see those parts cause it just skipped right over it. We saw SOME kisses and him calling her "love" that was about it. So where was my romance? Oh wait there was none it was all "WTF moments" that weren't possible and the characters just seemed OOC to me at times...
There were some funny parts, very, very limited funny parts that won't help pull this book back up from the gay plot holes and WTF moments it sunk into, but some were: the Jacob/Rosalie interactions, the arm wrestling match & Emment's innuendos. Yeah not very many...and I guess letting Edward read her mind at the end.
I don't want to hate the book, but I'm just severely disappointed, I waited a year for this! And it was just totally different than what I expected, and things that aren't possbile happened and my head is spinning. I'm just gonna pretend that this was one big sick joke and Eclispe was the end of the series. I'll try to accept this...new book, but that will probably never happen. I think Stephenie Meyer was kidnapped or something and some Twilight hater wrote this..."Breaking Dawn".

PRLog - Oct. 1, 2012 - WILKES-BARRE, Pa. -- The idea for the Tyte-Guy began with a simple request from Zenda's wife. Their clothes line needed to be tightened. With no products currently on the market available to easily accomplish tasks like this, the concept behind the Tyte-Guy was born.
Zenda spent several years developing the concept and prototypes of the Tyte-Guy. In 2011 he partnered with Rick Gazenski and Harry Cardoni to manufacture and market the product. In 2012, the Tyte-Guy was introduced at the National Hardware Show in Las Vegas.
The versatility of the Tyte-Guy is just one of the many features that make this tool unique. Use the Tyte-Guy around the home for tightening clothes lines, pool covers, or assisting in furniture repair. Take the Tyte-Guy on the road with you and secure RV or boat covers with ease. The Tyte-Guy is small and light weight which makes it the perfect for camping, to tighten tent, canopy, or tarp lines. The uses of the Tyte-Guy are limitless.
Zenda, Gazenski, and Cardoni, recently began collaborating with Lisman Holdings, Inc. on the expansion of the Tyte-Guy brand. "This is a really unique product," said Jerry Lisman, CEO of Lisman Holdings, Inc. "It seems like everyday someone comes up with another way to use the Tyte-Guy. This versatile product is a must have for everyone."
For more information and to purchase the Tyte-Guy, visit www.tyte-guy.com. For more information about Lisman Holdings, Inc., visit www.lismanholdings.com.

Help blind pedestrians while you drive
By MCB Commissioner Janet LaBreck
The white cane is a symbol of independence reflecting an individual who is blind's ability to travel independently. Governor Deval L. Patrick has officially proclaimed October 15th as White Cane Safety Day in the Commonwealth. In recognition of White Cane Safety Day, the Massachusetts Commission for the Blind (MCB) sponsored an awareness program on Tuesday, October 16th at the Grand Staircase at the Massachusetts State House. I had the opportunity to attend, offer remarks, and participate in the program. I was joined by people who are blind, agency representatives, and numerous supporters to address the issues of pedestrian safety. One of the highlights of the day for me was hearing two kindergarten students talk about how their white cane allows them to be independent and do "fun" things.
Although we promote White Cane Safety year round, October 15th allows us to raise everyone's awareness about the critical issues that impact thousands of individuals who are blind when traveling to work, going to medical appointments, going shopping, and participating in various community activities across Massachusetts. We commend the Patrick-Murray Administration for proclaiming White Cane Safety Day as it also demonstrates the Commonwealth's commitment to ensuring that motorist and pedestrians are aware of and complying with the motor vehicle safety laws.
With the assistance of the MCB, people of all ages, receive free comprehensive individualized Orientation and Mobility instruction. MCB delivers services that enable a person to obtain or maintain independence in their home, place of employment and in the community. To further help people who are blind live active and productive lives, Massachusetts General Law Chapter 90 Section 14A indicates that drivers must come to a complete stop when a blind pedestrian with a cane or guide dog is crossing or attempting to cross the street.
At the Massachusetts Commission for the Blind, we also promote the following 'Top 10' list of things motorists should not do when seeing a pedestrian using a white cane or guide dog at street crossings.
10. Don't stop your car more than five feet from the crosswalk line. A visually-impaired person might think that there's something between the crosswalk and your car if you stop so far back. The expectation for all pedestrians is that a car stops directly behind, or fairly close, to the crosswalk.
9. Don't yell out, "It's ok to cross!" This may cause confusion to a pedestrian, particularly if another driver pulls out in front of your vehicle.
8. Don't get impatient when waiting for a visually-impaired pedestrian to cross. If a pedestrian places a long cane into the street, it usually indicates he or she will begin a crossing. If the cane traveler takes a step back & pulls back the cane from the curb, it usually indicates the person will not be crossing at that time.
7. Don't consider a 'rolling' stop as a complete stop. A stop sign means STOP!
6. Don't turn right on red without coming to a full stop and looking for pedestrians. The Right on Red Law requires drivers to come to a complete stop prior to making a right turn.
5. Don't fail to stop for pedestrians at all crosswalks whether or not there is a traffic signal or stop sign. Come to a full and complete stop.
4. Don't stop your car in the middle of the crosswalk.
3. Don't pass another car that has stopped and waiting for pedestrians to cross the street.
2. Don't wave to pedestrians who are using a white cane or guide dog to indicate that you are waiting for them to cross. They CAN NOT see you.
1. Don't honk!
As we acknowledge White Cane Safety and promote awareness among motorists about driving when in the proximity of the visually-impaired, I invite you to visit the MCB website to find out more, or contact the Orientation & Mobility Department at the Massachusetts Commission for the Blind: 1-800-392-6450.

Learn how to write a conclusion for your article, essay, short story, or poem. These tips for writing strong endings are from guest blogger Susan Johnston of the Urban Muse. Keep these tips handy, because you'll need to keep referring to them!
"There are no dull subjects," said H.L. Mencken. "There are only dull writers."
Dull writing makes for dull reading, fellow scribes. To jazz up your writing and improve your writing confidence, read Stephen King's On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft. Nobody can deny King is the king of conclusions.
And, here are Johnston's five tips for writing great conclusions…
Wrap It Up, Buttercup
Many writers (including me) find it agonizingly hard to write strong endings because there's so much at stake. We want to leave readers with a poignant, thought-provoking conclusion, but we also don't want it to read too trite or corny.
Use a strong image or quote
There are tons of articles that use quotes or imagery as their conclusion. If you're using a quote, make sure it's a good one. In addition to relaying information, it should impart humor and/or wisdom and also be broad enough to sum up the rest of the article. Writing a great conclusion can be as simple as using a quip!
Conclude your article or essay with humor
In this humorous essay by a stay-at-home Dad, the author contrasts his own perspective with that of a father who works in an office. It's a humorous way to write a great conclusion, and it keeps the essay from sounding too depressed or self-pitying about the author getting laid off. Humor is hard, so if it doesn't come naturally to you, don't force it. To write a great conclusion, consider using #1 instead.
Refer back to the introduction
This creates a nice sense of completeness and unity. For instance, in this article about staying in touch while living abroad, the author mentions Oreos at the beginning, then mention the Oreos again at the very end. Rounding back to the beginning is a great way to write a conclusion.
Edit out your last few sentences (the best tip for writing conclusions)
Many writers tend to over-write their conclusions, so often you'll find that once you take a stab at it, you can go back and delete several sentences without losing any of the meaning. It will feel like you've come to a natural conclusion instead of easing your way into an endpoint.
If you're really stuck, let your conclusion marinate
To write a great conclusion, step away from the computer and do something else. You'll come up with a good ending when you're on the treadmill or at the grocery store or some other place when you're not expecting it. That way your conclusion will come to you organically instead of forcing it out. That's how I found an ending to an essay about me and my brother.
Of course, many blog posts end with a series of questions designed to open up a conversation.
What do you think – what's your best tip for writing a great conclusion? If you still can't figure out how to write a conclusion, read 10 Short Story Endings to Avoid.

Susan, writing that "how to write introductions" post was so much fun — I think it was one of my best blog posts ever! Learned alot just by writing it.
George, good point: yup, these tips for writing great conclusions could work for short stories, too. And poems, school essays, personal essays, screenplays….some literary techniques are effective in most genres, I think.

My favorite way to end an article is #3, referring back to the introduction. I love reading articles where writers have done this — it's just such a tidy way to wrap it up!
Ending book chapters is a little different, though. You want to leave loose ends dangling, so readers are compelled to dive into the next chapter.
Thanks for this, Susan!

Jose Parla MacBook Pro Sleeve, iPad Jacket, and iPhone Case
Apple fans are not usually happy to have their shiny new products covered up: What if someone mistakes you for a PC? The loss of cool would be unthinkable!
But artist José Parlá's designs for a MacBook Pro sleeve, iPad jacket, and iPhone case solve the problem. The latest in the Curated series by Arkitip for Incase, Parlá's designs--influenced by distressed surfaces and city walls--are just as eye-catching as what they're protecting. The iPhone case is made of hard-shell plastic with interior rubber guardrails, while the laptop sleeve and iPad jacket are made of pebbled leather with suede lining.
Seems you can judge a book by its cover.
MacBook Pro sleeve, $179.95; iPad jacket, $179.95; and iPhone case, $49.95; available from Incase.

"Wish they would improve the looks"
Yes it has a lot of free stuff which is very nice.
This program doesn't work on a 64 machine. I had to call the help line in order to record my purchases. Each time I open the program it says a update is available, I click and it downloads but I always get a message saying it's not available. I paid for a Holmon version but the program won't download it.
I don't know what's going on with the software but I'm not happy about buying something and not being able to use it.
1 reply to this review
This is curious since Bible Analyzer does not offer a Holman version. Also, it does not notify of updates when started and does run on 64 Bit systems. Are you sure you are referring to this program? If you purchased a premium module and have any problems, please contact the developer and they will resolve the issues.

I recently finished my first play through of DmC: Devil May Cry on Nephilim and I really enjoyed it. I also died many many times, which is embarrassing.
Anyway, I liked the story and I see many similarities between the DmC world, America, and a little V for Vendetta. If you don't like politics, click away now.
Real-life References
Silver Sacks
Silver Sacks is an international investment firm owned by Mundus. He describes the scope of his power and influence as controlling the world through debt and he even has the president under his control, no doubt being able to denounce him through Raptor News.
I present: Goldman Sachs, an American-based multinational investment firm. First, the name is a strong reference. Second, they are both investment firms. On the other hand, I don't think their CEO, Lloyd Blankfein, is a monster. Goldman Sachs received attention ever since the 2007 Great Recession.
Goldman Sachs is listed as one of the companies that is too big to fail, where it is too deeply rooted in the workings of the economy. Anything bad that happens to one of these companies will affect the economy as well; thus in a sense, they have too much power. These companies are also extremely wealthy, and the difference in level of income between them and the rest of the country is enormous. The Occupy Wall Street movement in 2011 highlighted the income disparity; where in 2010, the top wealthiest 1% of Americans represent over 20% of the total income of the American people.
Raptor News Network
First, Raptor News Network website.
Raptor News makes me think of Fox News. The blonde female newscaster is very loud, similar to Fox's many female newscasters who are all blonde and loud.
In DmC, Bob Barbas, the newscaster, likes to a paint black and white picture in their news, an "us versus them mentality". Bob claims the moral high ground. He props himself and his beliefs on a pedestal and denounces the people who he disagrees with, like Dante and The Order, slapping a multitude of labels on them, with "terrorist" being a favourite. Raptor News actively distorts facts and present them with unabashed force and certainty. This serves as a propaganda to turn the people against Dante and The Order and to confuse them to aid Mundus in controlling the people.
Bob Barbas
Bob Barbas is a servant of Mundus. He seem to represent several personalities within the Fox News' network but I can't really point out any particular one, though I heard that Bob is supposed to be Bill O'Reilly. Also, I'm not sure about Bob's comb-over, all the personalities in Fox have a good head of hair. In DmC, Vergil sent Dante to kill Bob, which mirrors the events of V for Vendetta where V killed Lewis Prothero, the "Voice of London" to silence the spread of propaganda.
Bob's catchphrase, "just doing god's work", seems to be a reference to Goldman Sachs' CEO, Lloyd Blankfein's response to the outrage at their enormous profits during the Great Recession where many people lost their jobs. Blankfein's excuse is that the profit was simply the result of how a bank functions. To Blankfein's credit, he later retracted his comment.
Admittedly, I'm not sure about this. All I can think of is the Slurm drink in Futurama. In the Raptor News' website, Raptor News is actively advertising Virility.
Virility is described as making humans docile, keeping them controlled, and preventing them from questioning Raptor's propaganda.
Vergil and The Order
The Order is a small group of rebels who commands a formidable intelligence gathering network. They produce videos where Vergil wears a mask and uses a voice distorter to expose the truth behind Raptor News' lies. Vergil himself is skilled in defeating security systems. This seems to be a nod to V for Vendetta and the hacktivist group Anonymous. Also, the logo for The Order is very similar to the logo for Anonymous.
About DmC
I think the new Dante is okay. I won't call him horribly bad, but he is a little different from the classic Dante. Classic Dante is a tough guy badass who knows he can't lose and acts as much, basically the male power fantasy. New Dante is cynical and I think he is slightly more relatable. He was an orphan and he grew up fighting against demons. He became rebellious and saw no direction in his life, having zero guidance and being labelled a bad guy.
Kat was sent to recruit him to the Order. Initially, Dante was annoyed by Kat's determination but eventually recognised her sincere effort to befriend him. Dante also empathized with her past and acknowledged her effort in helping him and Vergil defeat Mundus. Dante also developed a desire to protect Kat. At the end when Dante talked to Mundus, he realised that he can't be human because wasn't able to understand humans. A person in Dante's position could've provided a reason for humanity's freedom, but Dante wasn't able to do so.
New Vergil is a lot different from Classic Vergil. Classic Vergil is cold and calculating but New Vergil is more talkative and his brotherly love for Dante is more pronounced. Also, Vergil seem to like guns; he shot Lilith and gave Dante the 2 new guns. The similarity is that Vergil sees himself as being above humans.
One thing I don't like is that Vergil seem to be less powerful than Dante. During the fight against Mundus, Vergil could've teleported when Mundus wanted to crush him, but instead he asked for Dante's help. Besides that, I thought Vergil was presented well.
Kat is the girl. She's the opposite of Trish and Lady who were awesome fighters. In fact, Kat is shy. Her shyness was most pronounced in the opening scene of Mission 2 after Dante entered Limbo. Kat showed all 3 signs of her liking Vergil, holding her elbow, chin down, and looking up at Vergil. She later explained that Vergil rescued her from her dad, and she became attached to Vergil ever since. Kat's devotion to Vergil went so far as to risk her life to help Vergil rescue all the data from The Order's database, keep Vergil's identity secret from Mundus, and finally to beg Dante to not kill Vergil. Kat's strength is truly amazing.
I liked Mundus. Especially the intro scene; after the phone talk, he holds his hands up like he's saying, "see what I did there? I'm invincible". When Mundus explodes in rage, he obliterates the environment in an obscene display of power. Finally, when Mundus meets Dante for the first time, Mundus sounded utterly broken when he asked Dante why he killed Lilith. That was an amazing moment for me seeing that an invincible overlord can be completely destroyed mentally.
I miss Royal Guard. In exchange, we get Demon Evade which loosely mimics Royal Guard's block and release mechanic where a perfect dodge increases damage output for a brief period. I find it awkward to use Stinger's new command (forward x2 attack) so I dropped the use of Stinger and all abilities with that command. I also miss Air Trick, but Angel Lift (and to a lesser extent, Aquila's Caliber) became its replacement.

Maierhofer signs as Iwelumo returns
The 27-year-old Austrian striker has swapped places with Iwelumo, who returned to Wolves after a successful month on loan at Ashton Gate. Maierhofer's loan is due to expire on April 11 and will take in seven games, starting with Tuesday's Championship clash at Plymouth. Since arriving from Rapid Vienna in a £1.8million move last summer, Maierhofer has made just two starts and seven substitute appearances. He scored on his Premier League debut when coming off the bench at Blackburn but his most recent senior action was against Manchester United at Old Trafford in December. Maierhofer slipped down the pecking order with Wolves boss Mick McCarthy using Kevin Doyle as his only striker and also having back-up from Sylvan Ebanks-Blake, Sam Vokes and Andy Keogh. Wolves boss Mick McCarthy said: "This is a good move for Stefan and offers him the chance to enjoy some regular football." Iwelumo had the opportunity to remain at City for a further month but the Scotland international has chosen to return to Wolves to fight for a first-team spot. Coca Cola Championship.

Editorial: Endres is a bad neighbor for Rosemount
There are a number of reasonable responses to finding out a business in your city has had an explosion. Surprise is a good one. So is concern for the business' employees. You never want to find yourself reacting with a, "What, again?"
Yet that's what we found ourselves saying this week when we learned of an explosion and fire at Rosemount's Endres processing. Nobody was hurt in the Tuesday night accident, thankfully, but that hasn't always been the case at Endres.

Hi everyone,
I am working on a wordmark for a female fashion photographer.
Between the several options I am exploring, I came across the possibility to play around with some custom ligatures.
Here attached you find some examples I came up with.
I know they are not *there* yet - but I would like to hear some feedback on how to improve them and which direction to go.
I'm working on a logo and using it as an excuse to make some ligatures. The base typeface is Mido. I'm trying to lighten the words a bit and add some flair with the ligatures.
I'm fairly happy with the 'it' (though feel free to critique) but am struggling with the 'ft'. Are any of these aiming in the right direction? Any feedback appreciated!
Hi all,
First of all, hello to all!
This is the first time i post, although i have been reading
this forum a lot, with great enthusiasm!
But let's get down to business.
I have been working on a sans serif font in fontlab.
Everything works fine, kerning, ligatures.
When i want to use my font, on a existing text in indesign, the ligatures don't work.
But, if i create a new text block, end select my font, and start writing, the ligatures do work.
The problem is, that i want to use the font for a new book i'm designing.
It has a lot of text, which i can't just rewrite.
I have tried the trick of copy, pasting (same font, or first changing it into another), also in a new document,
but same problem keeps on appearing.
Greater Albion have jusst released two new families through Fontspring and Myfonts:
Corsham was inspired by traditional stonemason's engraved lettering designs.

Four faces are offered-regular bold and black weights as well as a condensed form. All faces include a range of Opentype features, including ligatures and old-style numerals. The Corsham faces merge 'olde-worlde' charm with fun character, yet remaining clear and legible for text use.

Hi all,
First off, I have zero experience with coding and syntax for proper output.
I have just finished a typeface with the usual ligatures (fl, fi, ffl, ffi, even st & ct) and I want to make the ligatures automatic instead of being forced to navigate to the glyphs palette and manually apply ligatures.
I know the answer is in Robofab or Python but I do not have any experience with them and can't find a decent walk-through in the context of type design, specifically ligatures (since Python does all sorts of applications, type design being one).
Is there not a standard snippet of code that applies to all typefaces that automates the ligatures? "when U+0066 & U+0066 appear consecutively with U+FB00"?
I presume not.
Also, I use Fontographer 5.
Thanks in advance.
I find it strange that this forum, of all places, does not automatically insert f-ligatures in posts. I want to see "fi", but instead I get that awkward "fi" collision.
Good evening!
Some languages have problems with f-ligatures. One example is German, where ligatures across Wortfugen can be a source of confusion; another is Turkish, in which the dotless ı requires special treatment.
Have there been any efforts to identify (and compile a list of) such problems, and is it considered good practice to code those exceptions as language-specific OpenType alternates? Say, "ligatures for dflt, no ligatures for german"? Or would that go against users' expecations? How well are such features implemented in software at all?
Another solution, of course, is a Linotype ("Sabon") f, but you know, I do have a thing for nice fi and fl ligatures :)
So I am starting a book project for which I am using a very complete and well designed typeface, the files are .otf. I thought .otf meant OpenType and that's it, I just discovered the different OpenType flavored types, which I don't quite understand yet, anyway, not the point...
So I checked and my typeface is an OpenType (Postscript Flavored).
Now... I am using the Book weight, which contains all the basic characters, but not the ligatures. For the ligatures, there is the Book Alt version, which contains all the nice ligatures that I would like to use in my text treatment...
From what I understand, OpenType would contain everything in one font file, these flavored things do not, because of the 256 glyphs limit, right?
A new version of this character drawn at first in 1995 for the famous town in Burgundy and its identity and public signage will be available in novembre at "Editions 205".
The font is entirely redrawn, digitalized. Many ligatures are added.
In OpenType format, of course.
Hi everyone. I'm making my first font and it has a ton of ligatures. I have six versions of some ligatures. Now I'm beginning the proces of getting them to work with code, though I've never written code I'm learning it as I go, with this font.
My question is about the difference between stylistic alternates en stylistic sets. What is the difference exactly??
The manual says this about stylistic alternates... or contextual alternates
Alternate Substitution
Alternate substitution replaces a glyph with one of the glyphs in a predefined
list of alternatives. The application that uses the font is expected to
decide which glyph to choose. A good example of this lookup is to provide
several versions of some glyph, like the ampersand. Another application is
Mynaruse Royale is an expansion of Mynaruse Titling. It features script capitals and widely tracked and smaller titling capitals. Mynaruse Royale has plenty of character and, with its powerful and sharp serifs that draw the eye. Mynaruse Royale is useful in settings that call for titling with an extra touch of elegance, such as a storefront, wedding program or formal invitation.
Mynaruse Royale contains a number of OpenType alternates, including alternate forms for the capitals that are large, drop cap like capitals instead of the calligraphic script capitals found in the default forms. Additionally there are non widely tracked lowercase forms that work well with the included alternate characters and ligatures.
Hi everyone, I'm currently making a font with as many ligatures as possible, the combinations are endless, but I still want them to be usable.
So I was reading a very old topic about the 'ffj' ligature. And thought: That is completely useless.
Or is it?
Now I am really doubting to put in the 'ffj' ffb' 'ffk' 'ffh' in. They look nice, but:
- in what language are they actually used?
- in what fonts are these ligatures included? (and why)
I haven't had the opportunity to utilize ligatures recently, but I noticed that ever since I upgraded to Snow Leopard from Leopard, I have been unable to get certain ligatures to display, such as the 'ct' ligature.
Does anyone know what the problem might be and if there is a workaround solution?
I realised a few days ago I know nothing about ligatures involving ellipses - things such as "What did she ..?" or "I said, get your filthy ..!". I couldn't find any useful information from the general internets, and it's certainly not a kind of ligature ever considered for inclusion into the unicode standard. I also couldn't find a thread in the forums here concerning this type of ligature, so my question really is: who has thought about these?
Has anyone ever seen a discussion of this ligature in a book or on the internet? I'd love to know what history it has.

Darjeeling combines British Elegance and Indian Flavor. It is flared like Optima, with a scent of Bodoni. By layering "Regular" and "Ornaments" over each other you will create astounding pieces of colorful typography. Additionally there is "Regnaments" which combines the two other styles.
Darjeeling is great as a display font, but also perfectly legible at text sizes. Use the ornaments only to add spice to Your design.
Make sure to use applications supporting all these lavish OpenType features like small caps, various sets of figures, fractals and the 102 discretionary ligatures.
Darjeeling has been recently released at myfonts:
Hi Everyone:
I have been working on a new script similar to Fugu. Where Fugu was very relaxed and informal, there is a bit of attitude with Nori. It is a bit more expressive,
Hello There!
I'm making my first font, and releasing betas as I make any little bit of progress (in the same way as open source projects do, since my background is PHP programming).
Is a nice bold condensed script with plenty of ligatures and final forms alternates.
For me is a learning experience, so any feedback is highly appreciated.
You can download it for free from the lobster font mini-site.
Google now has the reading abilities of a teenager and can read f-ligatures: "[T]he characters fi can... be represented as two characters (f and i) or a special display form fi. A Google search for [financials] or [office] used to not see these as equivalent – to the software they would just look like *nancials and of*ce. There are thousands of characters like this, and they occur in surprisingly many pages on the Web, especially generated PDF documents.
I want to learn and understand how to use ligatures and glyphs better.
Does anyone know of a helpful book, a guide or an article?
Thanks for the help!
if you like modern and geometric fonts and blackletter as well, have a look at the typophile post »Fracmetrica Black .otf«
the free-font »Fracmetrica Black« is a modern and geometric blackletter with several opentype-features like ligatures, case-sensitives, text figures.
It's kind of condensed and has a high contrast. The typeface's construction is based on an isometric 60°-grid.
This commercial was running on Canadian Discovery Channel for a while now. I don't think I ever saw ligatures used in a TV commercial before. The whole ad is done very well, and this is one of many nice touches in it.
Though the cheese itself I don't like :-)
I just got confirmation that Suomi Script with a fair amount of ligatures is released within 24 hours from MyFonts.
I did not manage 2000 ligatures, but there are al ot of more than just two-glyph ones there.
I have most of them in the pdf here:
