This morning I crawled out of bed incredibly early. I guess I’m not used to the sun being this bright or I’m still on New York time. I lurched out of bed at 6:30am and started wandering through a bunch of dirt plots a few blocks from the hotel looking for some coffee. I walked into this tiny coffee shop that served crepes, the sort of place filled with locals. People come in, say hi to the dude behind the espresso machine by name, and he’s already working on their drink. Same thing every morning, and I’ve just accidentally inserted myself into these people’s ritual. So, I’m sitting there eating my crepe and this guy named Jim walks in and immediately says to the man behind the counter: “Hey Nick, I’ve got a puzzle for you this morning.”
Excellent speech, well worth the read.

Back in the days when the character sets of digital fonts were still limited to 256 glyphs, there was only room for one numeral set per font. The most common were tabularlining figures, and one had to use separate fonts – Expert sets and / or Small Caps & Oldstyle Figures fonts – to have access to proportionaloldstyle figures. However since the advent of OpenType and the implementation of Unicode, professional fonts now include up to six sets of numerals, and sometimes even more.
