I'll be playing bass in this power trio this Tuesday. On the set we have 30% Nirvana, 30% Misfits, 30% originals by Hullore and 10% Black Sabbath. In other words 100% distorted high-energy punky 45-minute set

https://t.co/pzEoVxlDOw A JS snippet to add a feature to https://t.co/e1blEfNaXv: hand pick characters for subsetting with Glyphhanger. You click around and get a command generated that looks like: $ glyphhanger --format=woff2 --subset="font.otf" --whitelist="U+0025,U+0026...

Join millions who have switched to Grok.

Started playing with ABC music notation and ABCjs library. Here's a helper/lookup/test page with a list MIDI and ABC notation of the 88 keys of a piano https://t.co/OpmQdK20XK

(One step closer to absolute pitch training: when I hear a random car beep I can check the pitch, wohoo!) Also most of the 55K is the one embedded c4.mp3 sample used for playback

My one-55k-unzipped-html-file is now a functioning PWA so I can have an offline, unobtrusive (no tracking, no in-app purchases, etc) piano keyboard even on iOS https://t.co/HHfKwJhcdo

My first blog post was 2005. I just counted the number of broken external links: 584 out of 2808 (20%), that's a bit excessive. Some are not really broken, e.g. chatgpt gives a 403 to my cURL request, webpagetest gives me 429. But still, wowzers, a lot of dead bodies in 20 years.

"Which local fonts can I use?" writeup, official docs and a web app to gather field data so we can have an authoritative answer to this question now and in the future https://t.co/LR0MMlzUZj

I have access to browserstack so I'll gather the data for many-a-OS but you can help especially if you have access to weird OSes. Please go to https://t.co/RPx5Zge0sX and follow the instructions. The code for this page and the data lives on github

Hello font-fancying folks, I'd like to gather data (and then release it in a form similar to caniuse) about the pre-installed fonts on each OS. The tool to gather the data (using queryLocalFonts, so Chrome-only) is https://t.co/RPx5Zge0sX, an example data:

My attempt at clarifying what we mean when we say font, font-family, font-face, typeface, etc. https://t.co/bgLLjcHK0K

Whoopee! I contributed to the `fontaine` Nuxt.js module https://t.co/HlFxUPDqHr

Today's mini-post on fonts turned out not that mini. A look into the past and future of `-apple-system` and `BlinkMacSystemFont`. TL;DR: delete them from your CSS code. https://t.co/yNG4nYnKTB

New mini-post, this time on extreme font subsetting https://t.co/wIycmMNwDX

A quick note on the importance of adding `crossorigin` when <link>-preloading fonts: https://t.co/f8xkJWXxNC Otherwise you get double trouble: duplicate font downloads and the preload is unused

Two articles on replacing commonly JS-powered UIs with HTML+CSS: 1) https://t.co/8r4jo94F7I 2) https://t.co/cMARCo6aeK Know any other good ones? Please share.

After David Lynch's passing people suggested we should celebrate his life and work by doing something weird. So here's a new Client-Side Rendering JavaScript framework called 🐶 Lizzy.js:

"Menlo Regular" is a font - a specific instance of the Menlo typeface. When we say "Menlo" we may mean three different things: a typeface, a font collection (a .ttc file) or a font family. Confusion? Yes, please.

With Arial and Times New Roman not present on all Androids and Courier not on iOS, it's official: there is no such thing as a "web-safe" font. https://t.co/WFf4xY6DdI
