    #Python #fonttools question: how easy is it to strip all PS hinting from an OTF file? Or are there already some tools out there that can do this?

    @behdad 2. Adoption of VFs depends a lot on the tools and platforms people work in. I’m positive there are differences in adoption between Figma and Adobe CC users for example. VFs are certainly popular among web developers. But a platform like Sharepoint does not support VFs.

    Last Thursday at ESAD in Amiens I showed my recreation of 3D programming experiments that Evert Bloemsma did in the mid 1980s. For this purpose I used printed examples of his BASIC source code and made it work again on a Sinclair ZX Spectrum homecomputer. @esadtype #ZXSpectrum #basic #programming
