i had a look at installing the bubble font here on dissensus but it was either too complicated or too simple for me to get my head around (i don't think the forum hosts its own webfonts, it uses default fonts on yr pc, as far as i could work out)@sufi I just published a little solarpunk typography guide:
A Solarpunk Typography Exposé
Characterized chiefly by its hopeful aesthetics of nature-technology balance, solarpunk is a relatively young genre and movement, and yet it has already secured a foothold among technologists who reject theapp.t2.world

Would you have to do some CSS formatting for importing fonts?
there is a whole elaborate admin control panel which doesnt seem to have an option to add fonts, so it wd involve something like this i guess
xenforo.com
Yeah, thats what I did for my site, using a font I had to upload to IPFS. So if you know the font, you just need to get a link to the file and then specify the format (in my case, I used a .otf "opentype" font format).there is a whole elaborate admin control panel which doesnt seem to have an option to add fonts, so it wd involve something like this i guess
Install fonts in XenForo
Add at very very bottom to EXTRA.css template of your style: /* */ @font-face { font-family: 'ecliptic'; src: url('./styles/default/xenforo/fonts/ecliptic.eot'); src: url('./styles/default/xenforo/fonts/ecliptic.ttf') format("truetype")...
@font-face {
font-family: "GeistMono";
src: url(https://indigo-cautious-chinchilla-877.mypinata.cloud/ipfs/QmQ5e6jXzTmgWFK4jpbr4eAfRFyqf922cfr6CkQMrj2PPg);
src: url(https://indigo-cautious-chinchilla-877.mypinata.cloud/ipfs/QmQ5e6jXzTmgWFK4jpbr4eAfRFyqf922cfr6CkQMrj2PPg) format("opentype");
font-weight: 100;
}
copy/paste, trial/error, and you're a coder
I'm just now noting that some of these actually "work" as 2D glyphs, from both sides, if you view them square-on from the striped side or the dark side. I would make this a unifying theme, but certain glyphs like W will be hard if not impossible to make that work for.
which "raster graphic design tools" do you make them with?
I use GIMP to make the graphics, and then I use the free version of Calligraphr (web tool) to download a template which I paste the glyphs onto, and then you can customize certain font parameters on the Calligraphr web app, and export them as .ttf and .otf files.
i've been playing about with svg paths with inkscape
Yeah I'm a newb when it comes to vector graphics, haven't really started learning yet, but seemingly most of the top-tier fonts are vector graphics.i've been playing about with svg paths with inkscape
i like that you can make graphics out of more or less hooman readable code
You mean in terms of vector algebra? Or does the vector graphic software you use not really involve that?
i dunno what vector algebra is, but you can plot lines and spaces in code and i guess that is algebra?
Yeah I guess if it doesn't involve any math operations per se its not really algebra then
heh i was thinking the other direction - svg paths are lines of poetry
