Diacritics Project @ Typo.cz- This website is based on the Wikipedia model for sharing information. Anybody could modify texts and pictures published on this website. Register to create an account and then Login to correct existing texts, upload new pictures or append missing information. When creating and placing accents, it is necessary to be aware of the fact that typesetting multiple languages may cause the various accents to appear together. That is why the accents must harmonize not only with the characters, but also with each other. When cutting a new face which supports multiple languages, the shapes of the accents should be standard and acceptable, rather than eccentric. The menu on the left does not give a full list of all European accents; it is more likely an introduction into the field, with emphasis on the diacritics used in Central and Eastern Europe. We apologize for any inaccuracies; all comments and ideas that could improve or correct the following are welcome.

Typography – a Black Raindrop- Well, it seems like I'm stuck with this hobby of sorts … I happen to make typefaces. On a good day I enjoy it, on a bad I don't. I don't have a great affection for typography at large — if you ask around, people will probably tell you I am an outsider in this field. Or maybe that's how I want to be perceived, but let us refrain from psychoanalysing this too much. Typography is what I do, sometimes.

Aha! What about all the links out there? Some of them are way better than the ones I've included above! Well... that's true. So, until I get my bookmarks right, and until I can check everything out I'll just leave the-ones I-know-but haven't-figured-out-yet-unsorted-and-or-unbrowsed-links here and sort+comment them later on. After all, this is supposed to be a dynamic and collaborative website. Why don't you give me a hand?
Meanwhile if you have some interesting information you would like to share, documents, links, known about typography, webdesign, know about Linux OS or just "plain old" interested, why don't you Get involved?
