What did you mean by your question, “Is OpenType OK?”? You mean compared to other formats?

Hamish
Thanks. I’ll put you on the list. Thanks for your support.

I like the Flicker photos. Thanks for sharing. I want to read the how to design fonts post! I love this blog!

I reckon for the logo design site I’ll go with ‘logodesignlove’. I was saying towards ‘dalogos’, but thought the additional ‘s’ on the end might cause traffic to go to ‘dalogo’.

Great links as usual John! The flickr set is a great idea, I’ll be sure to post any type gems of which I can take a picture. Though that doesn’t seem to happen a lot (good typography can be hard to come by…)

Both the forum and wiki are great ideas. If you go for it, I’ll contribute in any way I can, though I suppose I’m best when it comes to either design or development, so let me know if you need any help setting them up.

I have actually, i used adobe indesign to lay out a picture book for my trip to czech this summer. I got everyone to send me their pictures and i chose the best 300 or so (it was a choir trip with about 60 people - lots of pictures to sort through)

Is OpenType okay?

A White Russian it is.
Thanks for the compliments. I’m looking forward to the Logo Site. Have you decided on a domain name? Well, if you ever need any examples of Japanese logos, let me know.

Not wishing to burst the bubble, I’m really not keen on whiskey, which is kind of odd amongst the Scots who surround me.

Give me a white Russian any day of the week.

On another note, the more I look at your site, the most I notice how much effort you’ve put into it, which says a great deal. Fantastic job, and it’s something for me to aspire to when I set about my logo specific site.

Thanks. Good luck qith Quark. Have you tried Adobe InDesign yet?
More cartoons to come when I get time to draw them. I’m still hoping to get the inimitable Kevin Cornell to illustrate one of the articles; not sure which one yet.
The Getting Started With Type is coming real soon. It will be iLT’s first “correspondent article”, from our US correspondent and type designer.

Jelmer
Many thanks for the offer and for the advice. I’ll put you on my list.

Lauren
Thanks for sending over the great pics. I’m pleased you found them. Thanks for the compliments, but to be honest it’s you and all the other readers, subscribers and commentators who make this site so enjoyable; many of you have also be evangelists, spreading word of the type reolution — thank you all. That reminds me, nerdski has even setup a Virb.com iLT fan club. Blush.

Robert
Thanks. I hope you also like the upcoming iLT T-shirts. Good to see you here again.

Esben
Well, we’ve chatted since, so I’ll just say, “I’ll be in touch”, and thanks for your work on the Wiki thus far. [Esben will be one of the iLT-Wiki admins.]

Pedro
It’s a pleasure. Thanks too for a great site.

Stephen
Yes, I’m aware of the Typophile Forum, and as yet still undecided on the matter; may well, drop the forum in favour of an accessible Wiki and FAQs (though of course Typophile has one of those too).

Alec
Thanks for the links.

Dumitru
It may well be. There’s also software dedicated to doing exactly that….

Michael
Your comment certainly got more than a chuckle. However, I’m a little disappointed: if you’re really devoted to the cause….just close your eyes and think of Mrs Eaves. [readers: prepare to see Michael on a street corner near you…all in the name of typography]

David
Thanks for dropping by. Pleased you liked the mag spreads. Look forward to seeing you here again. And have a wee dram for me.

Hi John,

Just winging you a little comment from Scotland.

The iLT forum is a superb idea. I can empathise with the time required to respond to lots of emails, and it’s no surprise you’re being inundated with opinion requests.

Those Flickr sets you link to show some superb magazine spreads! Thanks for posting those, and I’m certainly bookmarking them for future browsing.
