In this installment: a free tool to create EOT Lite webfonts; An Event Apart interviews CSS web comic creator; Apple is exonerated of censoring iPhone dictionary; and “a new breed of documentary photographers.”
Daring Fireball follows up on its previous Ninjawords: iPhone Dictionary, Censored by Apple, exhonerating Apple of censorship and suggesting that “Apple’s leadership is trying to make the course correction that many of us see as necessary for the long-term success of the platform.”
In their own words:
Ascender has made a proposal for a subset of the Embedded OpenType (EOT) format with two features removed:
- MTX font compression
- URL Binding (root strings)
…In order to help type designers, foundries and font vendors create an EOT font without these two features, Ascender has developed a simple software utility called the “EOT Lite Wrap Tool.”
This GUI-based tool is compiled to run under Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Features in the tool include:
- Wrap a single font or a batch of fonts
- View the EOT font header information
Ascender is offering a free license to this tool to qualified type designers, foundries and font vendors for use to create EOT versions of their own fonts.
