an overview of various formats and, oh well, dead links. but there is more than i thought going on within the open source arena.

ken fowles on character sets and unicode:

to handle more than 256 characters ... is a requirement, not an option ....(ms typography)

somehow it reminds me about the antville discussion how to do it properly and not just as a quick hack that leads to glueing.

not a lot to see yet at decodeunicode

don't know if unicode actually is the answer. recalling a conversation one year back and locos and

juli gudehus genesis picto. 60s versus 90s.

in the 70s yukio ota was involved in a project named "visualizing global interdependencies". other wonder if there is anything like an aesthetic skin

had a talk with aaron marcus. didn't know anything about him before, just was curious to find out what this guy is up to. enjoyed the talk and if i had known before to whom i am talking :) - for sure, i wouldn't have missed the opportunity.

in the 70s he programed a desktop publishing system for the picturephone for at&t.

maybe i can get a hand on the book 'human factors and typography for more readable programs'.
