Posts like this remind we how much better it is to be as part of a large trading bloc to be able to easily order/sample these sort of things, rather than it likely being a pain in the arse to get locally.

That said, a certain corporation's bought up a load of fonts made over the past x decades and is making a tidy sum selling old rope again and again without adding anything of value, or funding the original designers/converters, so I'm quite happy to illuminate how an individual can get around such things for use on their personal blog with an audience of ten, should they so wish.

ed - you're also not as likely to be able to get a whole usable font from a small foundry in the first place, without buying it.

You can also just stick them in a font-editor and re-export "as your own font" with some minor tweaks. Not that you should, of course.

So now I have a new project - I've always wanted to smoke 'pure' tobacco, like the ancients.

I'm old-fashioned so I still Photoshop it all together, but that's my use case here.

/s igned someone very much opposed to having to install an app to travel to and from my partner's country in the EU. I'm decreasingly enjoying 'the future'.

I don't quite know what this is - it's a new concept, to me, at least - but it's pressing some good buttons in my head.

I just realised, after testing that I'd inadvertently gine a bit too close to home, literally, when adding a note :)

Bookmarked, keeping an eye on you develop this! x

Isn't this TKMaxx's entire business model?

But, the more I looked into it, the more self-conscious I got that a) I would be a sad curmudgeon to do such a thing and, b) I'd be sleep-walking into some horrid authority-complicit sousveillance that raises uncomfortable questions.

Still, I'd really like to report those [expletive deleted]s who skip over pedestrian crossings at speed, on their phone. Gits.
