2021-07-09 06:18:25 <cbridge     > <proteusguy> Zarutian, that's cool. I can think of a few times where I stopped trying to add a graphic mode to a forth because just making the fonts was a giant PITA.
2021-07-09 15:20:09 <cbridge     > <veltas> I enjoyed making every font I've made for the Spectrum, I like a bit of design
2021-07-09 15:21:45 <cbridge     > <veltas> I liked the stuff Chuck Moore did with his minimalist font combining different shapes
2021-07-09 15:21:54 <nihilazo    > oh?
2021-07-09 15:21:58 <nihilazo    > I've never heard of those
2021-07-09 15:22:15 <nihilazo    > drawing fonts is more of a challenge than it initially seems
2021-07-09 15:23:15 <veltas      > This is the font, I don't remember which video he talks about it though https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=81bkIqPpe0g
2021-07-09 15:23:47 <veltas      > 10:40
2021-07-09 15:24:10 <nihilazo    > that looks kinda weird to me
2021-07-09 15:24:11 <veltas      > It's just combining different curves and lines and flipping/OR'ing them
2021-07-09 15:24:18 <nihilazo    > but the way it's made is cool
2021-07-09 15:24:23 <veltas      > Yes I agree
2021-07-09 15:24:56 <veltas      > I think people have done this in demoscene too for different reasons
2021-07-09 15:25:13 <nihilazo    > yeah, I mean demosceners like to squeeze every last byte out of something
2021-07-09 15:25:33 <eris[m]1    > its cute
2021-07-09 15:25:51 <eris[m]1    > i wouldnt like
2021-07-09 15:25:52 <eris[m]1    > use it
2021-07-09 15:25:54 <eris[m]1    > though
2021-07-09 15:26:08 <nihilazo    > yeah that's my feeling too
2021-07-09 15:26:19 <nihilazo    > it looks better than some handmade fonts though
2021-07-09 15:26:30 <nihilazo    > (the idea of generating fonts by computer reminds me of metafont and similar too)
2021-07-09 15:32:04 <veltas      > At around 13 minutes he starts talking about it, it is actually that video
2021-07-09 15:32:41 <veltas      > I like designing stuff with a pen and paper, and describing it mathematically to the computer
2021-07-09 15:32:49 <veltas      > It's how I approached my 3D coursework at uni
2021-07-09 15:33:22 <veltas      > Chuck's never boring
2021-07-09 20:21:23 <dave0       > maw

2021-07-09 23:05:54 <siraben     > remexre: you ever read about math-comp?
2021-07-09 23:06:11 <siraben     > I've been reading https://math-comp.github.io/mcb/ and it's pretty good so far
2021-07-09 23:06:58 <siraben     > heh, having tactics that manipulate proof goals as stacks is neat
