MAKING FONTS WHILE CHECKING YOUR EMAIL

While traditional type-designers have been using programs such as FontLab or Fontographer (goes way back to 1985) to design their typefaces over recent years, FontShop has released a clever web-based font building tool geared towards the non-classical/casual type-designer called FontStruct (devised and developed for FontShop FSI by Rob Meek) .

FontStruct lets you quickly and easily create fonts constructed out of geometrical shapes, which are arranged in a grid pattern, like tiles or bricks. You create ‘FontStructions’ using the ‘FontStructor’ font editor. Once you’re done building, FontStruct generates high-quality TrueType fonts, ready to use in any Mac or Windows application. It’s worth taking a peek at their intro video.

OLEDs: PRINTABLE LIGHTS

Check out this article from CNN on OLEDs. They report that GE has created a massive OLED panel printer to be used for lighting. The huge machine prints out thin layers of flexible plastic, covers them with chemicals, and seals them with foil, so they’ll glow a frosty blue/white when an electrical current is applied. The sheets owe their luminance to compounds known as organic light-emitting diodes (hence OLEDs). General Electric hopes to get all the tweaks worked out and put the panels into full production by 2010.
