Is there any way to install old, pre-creative cloud versions of InDesign etc on modern computers?

I haven't had my hair this long since 2012 and it's extremely linked to self image for me... And I asked my mom to cut my hair again tomorrow... But actually I want to try one more month of letting it grow. This is the number sign I'm doing the best I've ever have. I'm shaking

One of my main fears when adding features to Wakamai Fondue is that I stray away from its core mission of "making fonts less of a black box".

I want folks to drop a font, show what it can do, and get out of the way.

But every new toggle, checkbox, button, "show more" or other way for people to tweak the way the fondue reports seems like a potential "pfff, this looks too complex, never mind".

#Inktober 10: mystisch. Mir gefällt, wie viele verschiedene Motive den Zeichner:innen zum heutigen Prompt einfallen. Bei mir ist es eine nächtliche Landschaft mit See.

I promised myself i wouldn't post on insta stories until Thursday and WHY is it so hard??????? Why???

hey! :) today i released typoclast v 2.4.0, now you can scramble and stitch up to 4 fonts together with the new frankenstein slider!

An idiosyncrasy of Fonts & Encodings, by Yannis Haralambous is using "wyde" to mean a 2 byte quantity (16-bit), and, less often, "tetrabyte" to mean a 4-byte quantity. It's fine, and it's good to use a fairly unambiguous term, but. But, it's not glossed or footnoted _anywhere_. They just use in the middle of running text with no notes at all. A quick search suggests that "wyde" is only used by this book, and a couple of pages discussing or extracting this book.

Is there a name for a word that appears in only one text?

An apartment building’s nameplate in the Turgutlu district of Manisa, Türkiye, featuring colorful and 3D dimensional lettering.

What I really appreciate from @jectives is his critical eye and calling out foundries who clearly use AI, especially when it seems haphazard and not even helping anyone, or have small print that totally un-sweetens an otherwise good looking deal.

Going through my photo archive I found some images taken with/for "A World Of Photo".

I totally forgot this app.

You'd get pings at random times an exchanged photos with someone else on the planet.

Sweet memories when we were all still in the "wow, there's a computer in my pocket, and it has a camera"-phase!
