A student asks me a question about #optimisation and #nesting so i'm back into "16 Case stories, re-imagining the practice of layout" with @colm @Femke @Ludi #OpenSourcePublishing
Published in 2012
"a catalogue put together as part of an attempt to rethink #layout tools, and features case stories that range from historical to present, on to the imaginary and speculative. The ‘camera-ready copy’ of this book was created on a pen #plotter: this has required a rethinking of the workflow, including a special font stack built upon engraving tools, to be able to use stroke based fonts."
Tools: #ActiveArchives, #LibreOffice, #Inkscape, Custom #Herschey Inkscape plugin, #Roland pen plotter, laser printer, glue and scissors. Printing: Risograph and Roland Pen Plotter.

Was given a Radio Shack CGP-115 plotter last night. It works! Sourcing pens will be ... fun, though
Musste gerade ein Video zu Vintage Computing von @verge pausieren, weil darin diese tolle Plotter-Kunst vorkommt. Kurze Recherche: Das is von @paulrickards und er hat einen aktuellen Blogpost über seine große Plotter-Sammlung geschrieben: https://biosrhythm.com/?p=3004
Teilt mehr Kunst auf Mastodon.

Model workshop today, working on housing for my b&g vulcan 7" plotter that I bought used last year. I place it on the roof top for best visibility, and the housing will protect it from saltwater spray ect, and all cabeling will be hidden and protected as well.
Next step is building the actial housing, and install the kit.

@raphael
I guess the closed contours of an SVG font is normal. I thought again about the process of Relief Single Line font where they make a simple search/replace to reopen the contours. → <https://github.com/isdat-type/Relief-SingleLine>
I added this search/replace in the script. Now we can have proper stroke fonts for #Hershey text in @inkscape for #plotter or #embroidery. :)
I will stop spamming here and get back to "real work".
