Member hra… Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 This topic was imported from the Typophile platform http://armenotype.com/ About 12 hours ago Nina Stössinger and I launched a new website about Armenian type (and related fields). She did an amazing job in less than three weeks, and we'd love to see anybody and everybody with even a remote curiosity about the Armenian script check it out, register for the mailing list, and post comments. BTW, the site was launched on the Armenian diaspora's premiere TV network, Horizon, live on Friday night! Nerve-wracking but very exciting. hhp Link to comment
Member nin… Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 I'll add that even if you don't know much about the Armenian script yet, by all means don't be shy. We're very happy to feature a piece by Carolyn Puzzovio, titled «Type and Culture», that should actually provide an excellent introduction for people new to Armenian type too. * Screengrabs from the televised launch (new levels of adrenaline!): (Sorry for the bad quality; rest assured that text isn't actually rainbow-colored. :-) Link to comment

Dan, ask and you shall receive. ;-)http://armenotype.com/2010/10/live-tv-launch-video/ Thanks again to Nina's hard work processing/subtitling* the live launch of Armenotype.com on Horizon TV three weeks ago, in a manner both subtly innovative and solidly functional. * Using the Bold weight of my Mana-13, tracked looser by one pixel. http://www.themicrofoundry.com/manademo/ hhp Link to comment

Member qua… Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 I recently added a silly little page to my own web site, at http://www.quadibloc.com/comp/ascint.htm in which I propose a radical reform of ASCII to make it safe for the Armenian script, among other things. In the diagram at the bottom of the page, you can even see the new Indian rupee symbol, which I learned about from this forum. Link to comment
Member hra… Posted November 2, 2010 Author Share Posted November 2, 2010 Interesting idea to split the UC and lc between lower and upper ASCII! hhp Link to comment
