.de preferably, too. Though not for me, I'm not so much into conworlding.

Yes.

It sounds like you're mispronouncing something.

Phew.

but most software doesn't actually implement them. Right, that was the problem. I tried it several times but without success, so I had a look at the other system. And I misread your question, Torco, sorry. Also, what the hell is that at ~4:07 :| Am I suffering of Tourette's now, randomly uttering s...

Um, no, all the magic happens with Graphite. I just made the font in Fontforge and then compiled the magic in

So the average conlanger is not only bearded, bespectacled, gay, and Lithuanian, but also has long eyelashes?

Besides, it has been pointed out to me when I was younger that mine are rather long, too. I guess they still are. They're the same colour as all my hair, though, so a dark blonde/light brown.

You don't need that.

Yes, I thought so, too.

My old link to Grimm and Lexer doesn't work anymore, since the portal is now http://www.woerterbuchnetz.de/ . Most notably and of interest to you and youse it hosts a digitalized version of Deutsches Wörterbuch by Jacob Grimm and Wilhelm Grimm, as well as the Benecke-Müller-Zarncke (also known as BM...

For me it usually says "We're sorry, but this clip is not available in your country (due to copyright restrictrions)." or something to that effect.

It's red-green (defect in red or green cones) > blue-yellow (defect in blue cones) > total AFAIK Also note that colourblindness may range from a small affection to a total defect.

They, in essence, did . Not only in essence. The fortification measures did include a concrete wall in the last recent stage if my memory of History lessons serves. And barbed wire. And minefields. And dogs. And guards (GDR people's police) with the permanent order to assassinate everyone who wante...

You do believe that the Wall was an "antifascist protection barrier" (Ger. antifaschistischer Schutzwall), as GDR propaganda liked to refer to it (AFAIK), don't you?

I would myself tend to think of East Germany here, but young-uns today are likely to be less familiar therewith. Unless they've received History classes in Germany. Which is a minority on this board. And in comparison to the board's average age I'm not a young 'un either anymore, I guess. The GDR a...

Thanks for the compliment, Pthag.

I made carrot stew again because the weather outside feels like you need something savoury that keeps you warm. If you click the picture you get to the recipe I posted earlier in this thread.

It's beaucoup.

He looks too young for a politician. To me it looks more like a typical job application photo. Kinda sympa though.

Same here. Except I don't have strong beard growth, which adds to the impression. People told me I look older with really short hair.

You should totally save this on the KneeQuickie.

What bothered me most is that I had to look up the syntax of different commands for more elaborate stuff, which often took longer than actually typing it out. Nowadays I'm using OpenOffice, and for most purposes that's enough for me. Except OOO still doesn't allow OpenType. Shame on it for not even ...
