Summary of single-line fonts
Version 1.8 of the OpenType font format specification introduces an extensive new technology, affecting almost every area of the format. An OpenType variable font is one in which the equivalent of multiple individual fonts can be compactly packaged within a single font file.
This year, at the ATypI typography conference in Warsaw, representatives from Adobe, Microsoft, Apple, and Google presented an exciting development in typography: support for variable fonts in OpenType fonts. Font variations are best shown with an example:
The film was made in 1956 by Norman McLaren and Evelyn Lambart for Canada's National Film Board. McLaren, a Scottish-born Canadian, pioneered the use of stop-motion animation of abstract shapes synchronised with sound, using the same technique adopted 25 years later by Rod Lord for his seminal work in producing the animated book sequences in The Hitch-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy BBC Television series.
"All fonts from the section with the fonts I created may also be used without restriction for commercial projects. Also some of the only extended fonts are under a license, which allows the license file and a FAQ for this is then added to the download."
I will try to understand why this way of designing a font
never got widely adopted. If it is possible to create a more
easy to use program to design western characters. And finally
if this approach to type design would help to create new and
interesting curves and shapes for letterforms.
Because it began life essentially as a branch of the theory of computation, and because the latter began life essentially as a branch of logic, the discipline of artificial intelligence (AI) has very deep historical roots in logic.

Tory (1480 ?-1533) publie peu avant sa mort son traité de la lettre romaine, largement repris des écrits de ses prédecesseurs de la Renaissance, italiens (Feliciano, Fante, Pacioli) ou allemand (Dürer). Dans son introduction, il indique que la mauvaise tenue des écritures des enseignes constitue une des raisons de son entreprise. Il publie en français et concourt à populariser l'usage officiel de la langue en caractères romains, ainsi qu'à fixer son orthographe et codifier sa typographie, la ponctuation notamment.
