தொ - This is composed with த (U+0BA4) + ொ (U+0BCC). The two part vowel sign decomposes as ெ (U+0BC6) and ா (U+0BBE). CoreText accepts only this order but Harfbuzz accepts the vowel signs in the reverse order too. Which one is doing it right? @harfbuzz @nedley

Based on science and research, but written with the mastery of a skilled hand, Dash is a handwriting typeface system that makes full use of variable expression. typotheque.com/blog/dash-a-ty…
The dot above Tamil letter ப is, ‘pulli’, a non-spacing mark, positioned with GPOS. InDesign handles character space reduction well - but not Pages, TextEdit and Word. Bug or simply unsupported?

PMX @anwaribrahim the first Prime Minister in the history of Malaysia quotes Thirukkural in Tamil during his budget speech!! இயற்றலும் ஈட்டலுங் காத்தலும் காத்த வகுத்தலும் வல்ல தரசு #PMX #anwaribrahim #belanjawan2024 Video credit @501Awani
Prepared a type specimen for Nupuram typeface. 40 pages of examples and illustrations. smc.gitlab.io/fonts/Nupuram/… Used html/css for this because web is the only reliable platform that supports color fonts and variable fonts. Support in other applications are still catching up.
Devanagari fonts require different graphic variants of many characters and numerals to accommodate demographic and regional nuances. We’ve interviewed hundreds of people and documented readers preferences. typotheque.com/articles/regio…
South Asia is one of the most linguistically diverse places on this planet. At @typotheque we worked on supporting as many of these languages as possible. typotheque.com/blog/november-…
Fixed a bug that caused Hibizcus to crash when a CFF flavoured OTF font is added. Here's the beta link: testflight.apple.com/join/6g7x4n70
Keynote, Pages and Numbers got updated today. I still can't place the cursor between a Pulli (virama) and a consonant. I still have to rely on Notes and TextEdit for my Tamil text editing :( It has been years! @_karan
Awesome work!
Super excited to announce this update. MobileJawi introduces a private dictionary feature where you can add your own words. Not just with Jawi/Arabic letters, but also include emojis and even characters from other scripts  mobilejawi.com/archives/363

@TiroTypeworks I am in love with numerals. That 7 is happiness. Lowercase p has the same vibe. Thank you for sharing.
More long serifs. The reason they don’t work in book faces is that they take up too much horizontal space and require loose fitting of letters. This makes them an ideal style in maps where labels need to expand into the geography.
Really long serifs don’t work in the kind of typefaces I’m usually designing, which is perhaps why I love finding them in the places where they do work. [Ledger stone. Wells Cathedral.]
Spent the evening geeking out with some Python code, digging into Thirukkural and Aathichoodi texts to see how often Tamil consonants and their combined forms pop up. And let me tell you, it was a blast! The data turned out to be pretty cool. It's like these ancient writings…

For the next two weeks, our researcher @hectormangas along with font engineer @rob_arista are working in Bangkok on a series of lab experiments studying factors contributing to legibility of Thai text. Expect some in-depth reporting later this year.
AI: ‘Everything I say is wrong, but it sure is pretty.’
@TiroTypeworks A month ago, ChatGPT 4 was like »ohh, no, it's too hard a task, I'll give you just a hint how you can arrive at the solution yourself«. Now it's »I can help! Pick me! I can help! Look what I can do!« 😂
With Chrome 121, we can animate a smooth transition between font-palettes in Color Fonts using only CSS. Here is a demo using Nupuram Color font. #variablefonts #colorfonts #metapost
Noticed that RIT Rachana flips the common stroke weight pattern for ഥ and ഫ—which I think looks a lot better—but not for ഘ and ല. This is a similar text style type to what I am working on, so perhaps this is a model I could live with.
I’m not a slave to consistency, but I like to understand the reasons for being inconsistent.
...then this happens for ഥ and ഫ and , producing a shape unique in the script with a hairline on the outside at the right side of the letter. Everywhere else, the modulation has the hairline on the left and arches proceed from thin to thick left to right.
The common modulation of ല could be explained in terms of having the stronger strokes on the outside and the hairlines in the middle, but...
The stroke modulation pattern applied to ല in this 19th Century metal type makes more sense to me than the convention folllowed in most fonts. Similarly for ഘ ഥ ഫ, the irregular pattern of which contrasts with that of most other letters.
There’s been some talk about AI replacing fonts and typography with document-specific, on-the-fly text drawing. Given that premise, I think South Asian lithography should be the benchmark.
