Member rcc… Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 While testing a pen ... something potentially interesting struck me. Is anybody else thinking what I’m thinking? Sure. Your pen skips. What!? That's not it? Okay, why not shelve the guesswork games and "fess up"? Link to comment

Member Nor… Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 > "protoglyph" Actually I’m not after a glyph ID. Then it's a model for a glyph yet to be developed, accepted and adapted for use. But it just looks too familiar to be seen as new. Link to comment

Member nic… Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 That, in the past, there were no plurals, rather convention dictated that nouns were the opportunity to 1. trial new pens 2. Or test that the pen they were currently using was still good for another few letters, that's how we developed our modern 's' simply through an historical misunderstanding you don't have to tell me I got it, both you and I know --N Link to comment
Member Ric… Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Please direct me to the correct forum. I have a ? about fontographer. After all my work of creating my type face I am having no luck with the simple thing of making the space bar work. hopefully it is simple to you. R Link to comment

Member dun… Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Maybe you are thinking about getting into interior decorating...? Or, maybe you are thinking that if you post a vague question you will get a lot of funny, wrong answers... ? Link to comment

Member tim… Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Richard, I think Duncan was posting in response to the thread not your question. I did send you an instant message to suggest you visit the Build forum with your query.http://typophile.com/forum/6 Tim Link to comment
Member Ric… Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Thanks Tim thanks for your advice, but no in reality Duncan could have easily said what you said but no, insults rule. I am not surprised. Richard Link to comment
Member Con… Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Richard, I’m positive Duncan was referring to the thread’s question “Is anybody else thinking what I’m thinking?” and I’m sure Hrant is well able for/used to light-hearted insults/remarks. Link to comment
Member Ric… Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Conor, thanks...I went to BUILD after Tims idea and got an instant answer from a fellow member, no jokes, no insults, no reading between the lines. Hey I am new to this site and am a very serious designer looking for information. I will try and create a new thread in the appropriate forum. thanks R Link to comment

Member dun… Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Richard, My comments were definitely not directed at you or your post. I am sorry you understood it that way. If you read the messages on this thread prior to your postings I am sure you will see what my comments were refering to. Also, as you use this site more I think that you will find that there is a generally light-hearted kidding that goes on here. Again, I am sorry if you feel that I was insulting you. I was not.

Member hra… Posted February 6, 2007 Author Share Posted February 6, 2007 Even with my active imagination I could have never imagined that this thread would become a microcosm of the human reality. You got your sex maniacs, your culture junkies, people who can't stand guessing, math-heads, politicos, poets, persecution syndrome sufferers, and everything in between... All with a single protoglyph. I coulda been a Freud. Spill the beans? Absolutely the most damage I could do to this thread at this point. hhp Link to comment
Member Ric… Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Duncan, thanks call me thin skinned...no worries. I guess I will attempt to create a new thread in the build forum. R Link to comment
