What happened to Bald Condensed? Nothing, it just appears less frequently,
that's all. New editions of Bald Condensed will be
announced in the news feed from now on.
The place is a building site right now, and archives of news, Bald
Condensed and other articles will be back online shortly.
FontDiner has added Rickles Script, a sweet free font, to its Free Silverware section. That is all.
Adobe brutally stabs to death aging illustration package Thursday, May 17, 2007
Adobe has announced that Freehand is officially dead and no further updates, including maintenance ones, will be forthcoming. Interestingly, you can still buy it though. In a statement, they said, "We've got your money, now fuck off". Us poor hard done-by Freehand users (from version 9 upwards) can crossgrade to Illustrator CS3 for $199 or £139 (representing a 40% increase over the American price for, you know, being British). Again, thanks to Aegir
