  1. Glyphs by schriftgestaltung

    Designed by type designer, Georg Seifert, Glyphs is designed with usability in mind. It's currently in beta but looks very promising.

  2. Browser Size

    Useful tool to check interface design widths with a visualization of browser window sizes for people who visit Google.

  3. Unicode Font Info

    A very useful little app for analysing language support and font metrics from Andrew Thompson; it hasn't been updated in a while but still seems to work fine on OS X 10.6.2 Snow Leopard.

  4. Browser Choice vs Font Rendering

    Thomas Phinney on Windows font rendering. Absolutely essential reading for anyone interested in web fonts.

  5. Structured Procrastination

    John Perry, Philosophy professor at Stanford on procrastination. A delightful set of thoughts on procrastination as perfectionism, and potential upsides of all that sitting around thinking.

  6. TextMod 2.1

    Multi-lingual placeholder text for testing language support in fonts. Fantastic tool.

  7. Analog

    A company of friends who make web sites from yours truly, Andrei Zmievski, Alan Colville, Chris Shiflett, and Jon Gibbins.

  8. PNG/JPEG/GIF optimizer for Mac OS X

    Fantastic tool from ImageOptim. I've had up to 50% savings on PNGs with transparency. Highly recommended.

  9. Smoother @font-face embedding in IE 7 & 8

    Turning off ClearType for better display / headline rendering in IE by allcreatives.net

  10. COLOPHON Type Foundry

    I love Montefiore, Reader, Pantograph and lyrical Peggs. Superb work.
