Cyrillic question/advice (2016-07-29 15:29:15) :
Peanut gallery response of no critical import: this looks amazing. Most attempts at geometric constructivist typography start with something similar, but they never turn out terribly well; in particular, designers tend to get upset about the tipsy look of the S.
I wouldn't bend head over heels to worry about readability, as it makes perfect sense that some of the characters would be rendered horribly on a device being pushed near its limits, especially a) if it were imported or b) if it...

Thanks to the power of twabsishness, a long-standing and irredeemably irrelevant Webkit bug has been solved. Anchor tags in forum threads were causing the tops of posts to get cut off for the dumbest conceivable reason. Yay.

The documentation is [http://memory.rhetori.ca/?id=304|here], though the letterforms aren't quite like the ones I've been showing off here:

- the <m>s and <n>s are wider
- accents: I used vertical ticks underneath letters to represent /i/ diphthongs, vertical ticks above letters to represent stress, and the word "hemaya" ...

As a stop-gap, I'd recommend exporting your file as comma-separated values, opening the result in Notepad, and search-and-replacing the commas with [!td] tags; you can then run down the lines and add [!tr] tags to each one. No need for closing tags, except for [!/table]. If your data contains commas, save it as tab-separated values and then copy and paste a tab into the search-and-replace box.

Awkwardness! Annie's front page was unable to load for a few days because I blew up a legitimate user while removing spam—it couldn't process the fact that there was a universe belonging to a deleted account. Whoever owns [b]Sharrda[/b], I'm super sorry, and if you ever see this, email me at hexadecima@gmail.com and I promise I'll get it back to you!
