WHAT FONT TO USE WHEN YOU DIE
There is an amazing book about dealing with illness and loss, “The Year of Magical Thinking” by Joan Didion, Vintage Books. In it she talks about how western culture has forgotten the rules by which we mourn. We used to have rigid codes for the passage through grief into morning and then return to everyday life (this process was allowed to take well over a year, sometimes two). We no longer have a prescribed method for mourning so every one of us is left on our own. Some mourn with grace, others less gracefully.
It’s following me!!!
Has anyone else noticed Alternate Gothic No 3 popping up all over the place lately? I haven’t been this disturbed by the appearance of a font since I got no sleep on a transatlantic flight and started hallucinating Papyrus in the customs line at Malpensa.

Museo Sans numbers
After reading Tal Leming’s fraction fever I decided to give this a go. I’ve long wanted to script a decent fraction feature, but couldn’t get it right. This is working perfectly (for now ... I’ve only tested it in Indesign CS2 on Tiger).
Still in progress ... but Museo Sans will end up with nominators, denominators, superiors, inferiors, oldstyle figures (proportional & tabular) and lining figures (proportional & tabular).
