A new typeface that might be of interest to medievalists, or "Heb je mijn Brill gezien?"
by Daniel O'Donnell 03 Feb '12

03 Feb '12

A librarian here just passed on a note to me that Brill have opened access to their new typeface. It is supposedly full of IPA and diacritics as well as Greek and Cyrillic. We all know the type of thing Brill publish, so one might expect it to be grundlich, even if I haven't seen it yet myself. http://www.brill.nl/news/brill-typeface > â€œThe Brillâ€ Typeface Publishing News - Publishing News Date: 2011, > August 19 > > After careful consideration, Brill has taken the initiative of > designing a typeface.

Junicode 0.7.2
by Peter Baker 31 Jan '12

31 Jan '12

Another release of Junicode, the font for medievalists. This one tightens up the spacing of uppercase diacritics so as to get closer line spacing in certain Windows applications. Other changes are mainly technical/quality control. Get it at http://junicode.sourceforge.net (choose from TrueType, WOFF and source files) If any user cares to leave a comment at the Junicode site, I'd appreciate it. The font gets its share of "likes," but the only comment there complains about the line spacing, which has now been fixed. Thanks! Peter Baker

Decoding Digital Humanities (London)
by Richard Lewis 24 Jan '12

24 Jan '12

We're very pleased to announce that Decoding Digital Humanities (London) is re-starting its regular discussion meetings on: * Tuesday 31 January 18:30 * at The Plough, 27 Museum Street, WC1A 1LH. For this first meeting we will be discussing the Digital Humanities Manifesto: http://tcp.hypotheses.org/411 Decoding Digital Humanities began as an informal series of pub meetings organised by the Centre for Digital Humanities at UCL. It has since expanded with several international chapters but still retains its informal atmosphere. You will be very welcome to join us for a drink and to discuss all things DH. We look forward to seeing you there. Best, Richard -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Richard Lewis ISMS, Computing Goldsmiths, University of London Tel: +44 (0)20 7078 5134 Skype: richardjlewis JID: ironchicken(a)jabber.earth.li http://www.richardlewis.me.uk/ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Fwd: [SDH/SEMI Exec] SOPA/PIPA
by O'Donnell, Dan 18 Jan '12

18 Jan '12

A number of DH sites are planning to go dark tomorrow in support of resistance to SOPA, and in solidarity with other sites like the wikipedia that are planning the same thing. The attached email from Stéfan Sinclair to the exec. of two of them explains why and how. This is short notice, but I'd like to propose that DM do the same thing tomorrow. And encourage as many of you as possible to do the same thing to your own sites. While SOPA is 'an American mess', it proposes extending itself to sites 'aimed' at America too--giving it considerable international scope. Sent from my Samsung Captivate(tm) on Rogers Dear all, It's a bit last minute, but I wonder if there any strong sentiments about having our association website go dark tomorrow. Personally, I'm not quite as keen as I might have been if the proposed legislation hadn't received some significant blows more recently, but as many have pointed out, it would be foolish to relax. Does the ACH want to join ranks with sites like Wikipedia tomorrow? This is ostensibly an American mess, but of course we would be deeply affected; see Michael Geist's post on the topic: http://www.michaelgeist.ca/content/view/6244/125/ Technically, there are several possibilities, one of which would be to put an Apache directive to return a temporary 503 error response, which I could take care of if there support.
