This is the only source of real documentation regarding actual usage of XeTeX without LaTeX that I have come upon. Thank you.

I've now noticed your page dedicated to Susan Kare. Some weeks ago, I fell in love with Bigelow and Holmes's vectorization of her 'Chigago' bitmap typeface. It feels perfect for user interfaces. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicago_(typeface)#/media/File:Chicago_typeface_spec.svg

I decided that the text justification afforded by CSS alone is harder to read than setting the text ragged, and so the text is now set ragged.

The section regarding font selection has had some additions, and now features an emphasis on finding one or two good typefaces to stick to.

As has become a habit, I went out on a walk, and took a couple photos that I feel are worth sharing.

I had drawn a psuedo-animation over the course of some months, and have now shared it. It is particularly flashy in nature, and perhaps was a poor use of time.

I was recommended to turn down the framerate. Rather than 24 frames per second, the video is now at 6. It no longer hurts to watch.

A photograph initially too dark to view has been carefully remastered from the raw capture, and has now been shared.

I went out on a walk and took some pictures, two of which I felt were interesting enough to share.

In addition, I have now made some small amendments to the page of appreciations. I have found that Edward Tufte has collaboratively developed a digital typeface, https://edwardtufte.github.io/et-book/. Previously, I had mentioned finding value in OpenType features and PostScript metadata, yet did not have a document to display their use. That has changed: https://kaa.neocities.org/PDF/chem-2-9.pdf.

And a small nitpick of a change in style: mid-sentence parenthetical mentions are now surrounded by spaced en dashes, rather than em dashes.

I had done some practice drawing letters this previous friday, and today I completed a small sketch, each of which I have shared.
