iPhone note fonts
Posted 05 August 2008 in notes tagged with [apple] [fonts] [iphone] [notes]
A curiosity of the notes application - it’s got a really ugly font. But it can be forced into a less ugly one on a per-note basis using an international keyboard. I assume the Market Felt font isn’t Unicode-complete, because if you insert a single (for example) Korean character into the note it’ll change its font to something more sensible that includes that glyph. And it won’t change it back if you remove the character.
This isn’t exactly convenient, and isn’t a system-wide setting. But I only have one or two notes on the phone, and I’m not willing to jailbreak it just to change the font. So I like my workaround.
Backup.app menu font size

Not that anyone cares about Backup.app any more. But I was noodling with it this morning, and it turns out to use a smaller font in its menus than every other app on my system.
Huh?

Free fonts with pretty good Unicode coverage. Useful.

Linux fonts always look awful compared to the mac. I’ve tried a few things in the past to improve this. Next time I try it, I need to read this first.
Alan’s Ramblings: Improving the look of fonts under Swing

Swing doesn’t anti-alias fonts by default? I hates the world.
