Vista's New Fonts


Recommended Posts

Changing the default font of MS Office from Times New Roman to a san serif font is going to **** off a lot of english teachers when their nimrod students can't figure out how to change it.

I always thought that Sylfaen should have been the default serif font of MS Office. It looks much smoother than Times New Roman, imo.

Thanks for the link.

I just learned this awesome ######-bit from the site:

Have you ever wrote a post or reply or comment on a page, or filled a form, or answered a survey just to find out you clicked a link by accident and ?lost? your work? Hold down shift and then use the mouse/keyboard scroll wheel: you can attempt to go forward or backward in your browser history from the RAM. This isn?t like the back/front buttons at the top, those take you to the URL stored, but the scroll wheel trick will load the contents from memory, and if you?re lucky, the form hasn?t been reset.:D/quote] :D

Awesome.

On a positive note, we should soon expect to break free from the 90s-00s tradition of countless documents typed up in the same old plain font.

I'm quite satisfied with Calibri. All my documents typed up within Word 2007 using Calibri look a lot better. Now if only this beta can print properly. :pinch:

Web 2.0? Yeesh, those buzzwords are annoying enough if they're actually related.

...

It's starting to get on my nerves, these fonts dont even have any thing to do with the net, it's like me saying this new program on my mac makes my car run faster, it makes no sense.

Only font i really like is Consolas, and i "like" Segoe, but that's because it's a "rip" of another font, Frutiger Linotype.

I like them, particularly Segoe print (Y)

I agree, but I'm also leaning towards Corbel as it looks quite nice and clean :yes: .

PSG22?

Well I just installed the beta, and Calibri seems to display jap char's fine, think ive found my new mIRC font :happy:

Calibri itself is pretty bare-bones. It doesn't contain any extra Unicode ranges aside from the standard stuff (Latin, Greek, Cyrillic, punctuation and number forms). So it doesn't contain any CJK characters (the way Arial Unicode does). Windows just knows to get those characters from some other font.

Unless they've changed it since the version i got, anyway.

Awesome.

So we'll finally get a break from Times New Roman. Nothing looks worse than sheets and sheets of times new roman when you're printing anything that should look professional.

    • >defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool It is not. It is the inhuman artist replacement. The human writing the prompt is the employer/manager requesting the work product of the artist -- a supervisory/descriptive job that doesn't carry with it any rights to the copyright of that work product at all. And since AI is not human itself, it can't gain copyright for anything it is asked to regurgitate or hallucinate, so it can't transfer that copyright to the employer/manager/human who asked for the output. This was all legally reaffirmed last year. So, no, while there are AI tools, AI slopware generation is NOT a "tool" in the legal definition of that word.

    • Google is opening the world's first AI museum in Los Angeles by Ivan Jenic Image via: Google Ever since AI image generators went mainstream, the debate over whether AI-generated art is real art hasn't let up. Those who don’t consider AI to be art say that if a machine does the creating and anyone can prompt it, there’s no skill involved, and therefore no art is produced. The counter-argument is equally persistent, as defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool, and that every major technological breakthrough, like the camera or the computer, was met with the same skepticism before eventually being accepted as a legitimate creative medium. Google’s position in this debate is clear. Which is no surprise, as the company is investing billions in AI infrastructure. And now, in efforts to encourage people to use its AI even more, Google is opening Dataland on June 20, which it's calling the world's first AI arts museum. Located inside The Grand LA, a Frank Gehry-designed building in Los Angeles, the museum spans 25,000 square feet. The museum is built around a collaboration with media artist Refik Anadol, who has worked with Google since 2016. The inaugural exhibition is called Machine Dreams: Rainforest, and is powered by an AI model trained on “an extensive dataset of the natural world.” It generates 1.2 billion pixels of visuals in real time and reacts to visitors dynamically. The space also generates soundscapes, real-time emotion sensing, and algorithmically produced scents. Image via: Refik Anadol Studio / Google Google says that the museum is powered by its Gemini models, which run on Google Cloud. So, everything is generated inside one of Google’s AI data centers and is streamed to the museum. Alongside the museum opening, Google Arts & Culture is funding an AI Artist Residency, giving four artists $25,000 grants each, along with mentorship from Refik Anadol Studio and access to Google's machine learning tools. Their work will be shown at Dataland and on the Google Arts & Culture website later this year. Google’s AI museum will undoubtedly initiate a fired-up debate on social media, and we can’t wait to see the first reactions. Via: Smithsonian Magazine
    • Calling GTA 6 overhyped crap doesn’t make you edgy, it just makes you sound like someone who hasn’t enjoyed anything since the PS2 era.
    • I’m not arguing whether Rockstar likes money. Obviously, they do, they’re a business. I’m saying this isn’t new. They’ve always launched console first. This is just how Rockstar operates.
