[05:03] <DanaG> Say, have any of the ubuntu-font developers tested the font on high-dpi displays?
[05:03] <DanaG> http://picpaste.com/Screenshot-iveefAJG.png
[05:03] <DanaG> Notice the little "blobs" on the 'c' and the 't'.
[05:05] <hyperair> i see no blobs.
[05:06] <DanaG> Zoom all the way in on that pic.
[05:06] <DanaG> http://picpaste.com/pics/Screenshot-iveefAJG.1285819397.png
[05:07] <DanaG> Well, not quite a "blob", but it's like there are bits leading up to a curve, but the curve itself is cut off.
[05:07] <DanaG> And the lowercase 'l' keeps making me think it's underlined, at least in Firefox.
[05:08] <DanaG> oh, I have no 'l' in that pic.
[05:09] <DanaG> But if I zoom in, I see it has the same sort of blobby thing -- but in this case, it's immediately adjacent to the hinting on the left part of the curve.
[05:09] <DanaG> So it looks thick.
[05:18] <DanaG> Anyway, try setting gnome to, say, 147 DPI, and "slight hinting", as is the default in Maverick, at least.
[09:23] <thorwil> what's the right term for the space between tiles (ceramic): seams, gaps, grooves, joints, interstices?
[09:56] <thorwil> doctormo: hi! hmm, the previews have issues: http://art.ubuntu-owl.org/files/thorwil/13
[09:58] <thorwil> what it should look like: http://www.foopics.com/showfull/cc24616942a90cbccbb685756e56d9a1
[10:08] <vish> thorwil: i think "gaps" work fine when it is a bigger space, and "grooves" are for the minor spaces it forms
[10:12] <thorwil> vish: about to reply to "Artwork Team Logo"
[10:13]  * vish was wondering when the "logo-updater" would speak up!
[10:13] <vish> :p
[10:14] <thorwil> vish: my points will be: concentrate on the symbol, don't mess with type. use pen/paper. use an image hoster, preferably foopics.com
[10:14] <vish> cool!
[10:15] <vish> why do people prefer foopics.com though?
[10:15] <thorwil> image hoster means absolute minimal barrier, but no archive
[10:15]  * vish checks it out, never used it
[10:15] <thorwil> vish: it's fast and lean
[10:16] <vish> hmm, seems nearly similar to imagebin.ca  , but need to actually check it out
[10:16] <thorwil> vish: so, got anything to add?
[10:17] <vish> thorwil: well, "dont stick to the Ubuntu logo alone"
[10:17] <thorwil> ok
[10:18] <vish> we'd have people just blindly modifying the existing logo, and art team does not need to use the logo
[20:36] <zniavre> the new font is not a bit too small ?
[21:43] <vish> zniavre: yup
[21:44] <vish> they seem to know but, not sure why they choose to leave it smaller :s
