Tell HN: Help funding (web)font autohinting project
- latitude 15y agoThis is a big deal. Seeing this project to its completion would ultimately lead to a far greater adoption of advanced web typography and a better looking web in general. See [0] for the original announcement on Typophile and the discussion that follows. As you may or may not know, there is a big issue with how bad a lot of fonts look in Windows-based browsers and this project is meant to address this issue by automating and simplifying the process of font hinting [1], which is essential to making a font render decently on Windows. ---- [0] http://typophile.com/node/84404 http://typophile.com/node/84404 [1] http://www.typotheque.com/articles/hinting http://www.typotheque.com/articles/hinting
