• Have you seen good examples of newsletters (or print zines) that include tasteful, relevant, useful ads that don’t alienate readers?

• As a reader, what kind of ad placement or formats are you okay with?

• Of course I have lots of ideas, but what kind of advertisers would you like to see in a newsletter about typography?

• Also, if you liked the content but not the ads, would you pay $3/mo to not have ads?

That’s a huge setback for me and honestly has killed my motivation to keep working on the site. From my experience, most people I know here primarily use PayPal rather than the other payment options available.

Does anyone know of a simple workaround to integrate PayPal with a Fontdue site? If not, are there any alternative platforms similar to Fontdue that do support it?

Thanks!

Along with the designer, Behailu Barento (@typehabesha ), we are very happy to introduce the Hibur Mono typeface, available for review from:  https://github.com/typehabesha/HiburMono/

A synopsis: Hibur Mono is a single-weight, monospaced, Ethiopic typeface designed for columnar display environments such as computer terminals and software code development interfaces.

The Hibur Mono Ethiopic glyphs have been designed from the ground up and optimized for the fixed-width contraints of a monospaced typeface. Hibur Mono is compatible with the Noto Sans Mono geometric dimensions. The non-Ethiopic glyphs in Hibur Mono have also been leveraged from Noto Sans Mono.

• COLRv1 Paint Graph Editor — visually compose  PaintSolid, PaintLinearGradient, PaintRadialGradient, PaintSweepGradient, PaintGlyph, PaintTranslate, PaintScale, PaintRotate, PaintSkew, and PaintTransform nodes per glyph.
• COLRv0 Layer Mapping — manage color layer stacks with palette index assignments for simpler color fonts.
• One-click COLRv0 → COLRv1 Upgrade — automatically convert an existing v0 layer mapping into an equivalent COLRv1 PaintColrLayers structure.
• Masterless COLRv1 Variation (WIP) — author variable color parameters (gradient stops, transform values, alpha) as independent per-axis keyframes, without requiring separate outline masters.
• Live Canvas Rendering — see COLRv1 paint effects rendered in real time on the glyph canvas as you edit.
• Palette Management — define and switch between multiple color palettes; the active palette is reflected immediately in the canvas preview.
• Full Fontra Editing Core — all standard Fontra editing features (glyph drawing, variable font axes, anchors, components, etc.) are included. 

The message pretty much explains what the issue is. In some apps, instead of just “Rolesville,” I get Rolesville-Thin. It’s saying the PostScript name is wrong. I am making a 9-weight typeface (100-900). My font file has three masters: Thin, Medium, and Black, with interpolated instances in between.

I tried to research this, but I don’t understand it.

Can someone tell me what settings I need to add or adjust in my font file to fix this issue?

I am using Glyphs 3.4.1

Thanks.

Colors

Black – master.
Green – instance.
Blue – adjusted instance.
Gray – hidden weight.

Defaults

Default weights and their parameters could be predefined in an array in a JavaScript file. Here you can set default axis configuration, such as: amount of weights; weight position (axis range is from 0 to 1000) and name; weight is master, instance, or hidden; stem and sidebearing values for masters.

defaults: [
	{position: 0, name: 'Hairline', hidden: true},
	{position: 100, name: 'Thin', master: true, stem: 20, sidebearing: 82},
	{position: 200, name: 'Extra Light'},
	{position: 300, name: 'Light'},
	{position: 400, name: 'Regular'},
	{position: 500, name: 'Medium'},
	{position: 600, name: 'Semi Bold'},
	{position: 700, name: 'Bold'},
	{position: 800, name: 'Extra Bold'},
	{position: 900, name: 'Black', master: true, stem: 220, sidebearing: 50}
]

Implementation

Implemented using HTML + CSS + JavaScript. I'm not very familiar with Java, but I know JavaScript a little better, and also I like an idea that it could be accessed from any device connected to internet. To run it offline, download all three files, place it in one directory, and open the index.html file in any browser. However, I recommend using the online version as it will receive updates if any errors are found.
