Mar 042025
 

On December 16, 2024, the Georgia Libertarian and Green Parties filed a new lawsuit against the Georgia campaign finance law that lets individuals give more contributions to Republican and Democratic candidates for Governor and Lieutenant Governor, than those individuals may give to other candidates for those two offices. Libertarian Party of Georgia v Carr, n.d., 1:24cv-05763. Here is the Complaint.

An earlier case filed by the Libertarian Party was dismissed on standing grounds. The new case shores up defenses against that happening again. The case is assigned to U.S. District Court Judge Mark H. Cohen, who also handled the last case.

Planet Python – Mirek Długosz: Customizing fonts’ look with OpenType features

Mar 022025
 

Many programming fonts allow customization through OpenType features. For people who are picky about certain properties, like easily distinguishable l and I (lowercase L and uppercase i), a single toggle can make a difference between rejecting a font and starting to use it. Unfortunately, choosing the perfect font with the perfect setup is way harder than it should be. This post describes the tools that may help, including the one that I wrote recently.
Whenever I stumble upon a new font, I want to know:
