But he has actual real HAIR!!!
:-)

ChrisL

Beam me up, Dezcom!

And what do you want to be for Halloween, Chris?

-----------------------------------------
Yes, I'm old, but I'm mimicked in style!

Norbert,
LOL!!!
But now we will have to change Scotty's name to Scototopulos :-)

ChrisL

You guys are tooooo funny!

ChrisL

DRATS! The Dezcom has exposed my true identity!
I must use my Amnesia Ray to erase his memory!

ChrisL

Whoops! There's no time to erase your memory now.
Tiffany's in trouble and we gotta help her!

AHAAHA! Look now I'm a blond bombshell in datdress ... err I mean ... distress.

Maybe if I put on a disguise I could fool the monsters into thinking I was Tiffany and she could escape?

ChrisL

Talk about your bombshell, er ah, I mean talk about DISTRESS! or dissing my dress?

ChrisL

=^P ahahahaha!

LOL!

My God!!! What a SAD commentary on our world! TYPE to the rescue! We need to rescue the damsel in dis dress (and this sad blog) with something typographic--a weighty subject that makes flip our lids. Tiff, hide behind this:

ChrisL

I guess that fell like a lead baloon :-)

ChrisL

Check your personality type:

OK, How about if I insert something not in the funny category. I am posting a test file I have developed for spacing/kerning. You can use it as is or select the small caps feature in an opentype savvy app.
I use it to check for color, set up side-bearings, and kerning. There are also some ligs in there and double letters.
Let me know if this makes sense or helps anyone. Also, if it screws you up, I'd like to know that too and why so I can learn from it.

ChrisL

I couldn't figure out how to post the attachment to my last post so it is at the top in my first post where it makes no sense but what the heck, right? I mean, do I ever make sense?

ChrisL

Funny.

And hey, I would be "Tayp", since the first letter of the
Armenian alphabet is "ayp"!* Here's an image for you:
{I'm getting an error uploading. Help?}
You might like to append "(Tayp)" for the other 6 billion people.

* Although it's "ayb" in Eastern pronunciation.

hhp

Hrant,
So would I write "Tayp" and then the Armenian glyph?
I don't have an Armenian font though and I don't know which glyph is "ayp".

email a PDF of the glyph and I'll post it in place.

ChrisL

OK, it's working now:

But like I said, maybe append "(Tayp)".
(And that "ayp" is a hair dark, sorry.)

hhp

Hrant,
Check above. I swapped in the change in the original post.
Thanks for your Armenian contribution to international humor!

ChrisL

no need for help she's '8 of 9'.

Bravo Vincent! The Klingons don't have a chance. Her oufit has been in the dryer with "Cling on Free"!!!

ChrisL

Gee, I wonder what typeface they used for the word "on"?

ChrisL

Klingon? KLINGON!
We don't need no stinkin' Klingon!

Whahzatt burnin pumpkin man!

ChrisL

That picture must be Norbert and his support group from his 12-Step Klingon-Chick Addiction-Free plan:-)

Ok, Vince. Please stop. I'm glad I know you, otherwise this would be more disturbing that it already is.

Vincent,
Don't stop!

ChrisL

OK Vincent,this one is for you:

ChrisL

Beam me up Scotty gone wrong! Looks like one of those accidental mixing of particles when two people get beamed up at the same time. Must have been me and some women named Dynel :-)

ChrisL

I hope Dynel doesn't mind being bald :-)
