I'm so excited to share the Syllabics project that @typotheque and I have been working on for the past two years, one that provides meaningful results for Indigenous communities in Canada. Please enjoy watching the short film we made to present the project!

In collaboration with the Indigenous communities we have developed a series of Canadian Syllabics fonts, that improve the encoding standards, and make the fonts available to previously ignored people. Launching 8 font families today. tptq.com/syllabics

Very excited to be speaking at the Canada Youth Internet Governance Forum this morning on the topic of 'Language Diversity Online'! #CanadaYouthIGF 💻💬 isoc.live/18390/


Happy 25th birthday @typotheque! It was my pleasure to create this map for the exhibition of all of the scripts that November supports, and will support, in the future.

We created this map of the world’s writing scripts for the anniversary exhibition in Den Haag. (Thanks @calligraphio!). All 36 presented scripts are set in one font — November. Most of the language versions are already published, some will come soon. It has been a massive project

In addition to new characters, a small number of errata were fixed for #Unicode16, along with improved representative glyphs → unicode.org/versions/Unico…

Anyone has contacts with the Taznatit and Tagargrent language speakers of Algeria? We have a simple orthography question, and any help would be much appreciated.
