Crimes against typography

3 October 2004

This is one butt-ugly font. The Windows screenshot is just awful. The emphasised punctuation marks, rather than help the programmer, instead make code much less legible and distract any sort of reading.

Much nice fonts for coding with are discussed here.

Is the online presence of Chris Applegate, geek and wannabe polymath.

This is my personal blog, where I blog about anything I like, but more often than not it's to do with digital culture, society, politics and the interaction between all three. All views here are, of course, mine personally and not necessarily those of my employers or associates.

As well as what I blog here, you might be interested in what I have to say on Twitter or my linklog on Delicious. I also blog for my employer, We Are Social, on social media agency-related stuff.
