Re: [libreoffice-design] ligatures in the logo

Hey, following your discussion I added another draft - which is rather a step backward, but I see that the connected ligature is your main concern. So just have a look here: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/User:Joey#Alternative_Ligatures

Hi Johannes! Yeah, you're right, we're not talking on the same thing. What I mean by kerning is correct pixel anti-alialing artifacts, when a letter becomes blurry and you can use a sharpening filter to sharp the edges (correcting the blurry). But none sharpening filter changes the shape or m

Re: [libreoffice-design] ligatures in the logo

Hi Joey, This feedback comes waaay too late, but I think your changes to the type have been awesome improvements in many areas (like the way you made the arch ascender of the second "f" end in a way that is concentric to the tittle of the "i", very nice). Like some others, the way the arm of t

Re: [libreoffice-design] ligatures in the logo

I tried to edit the wiki on my phone, but it just wasn't working out. Anyway... My vote: Right. I'm not crazy about the extended "f" crossbar or the right-angle shape the crossbar makes with the "i". I appreciate the effort and hope this isn't the end of this conversation. The logo should chang

Re: [libreoffice-design] ligatures in the logo

Hi Joey, Sorry to disappoint after all your work but I took a poll at work and it was unianimous... people liked the original logo better. They thought it was easier to read (f's are too close) and they thought the f connecting to the i was out of place with the rest of the logo. Vote: Original

Hey Bernhard, all, sorry for not having repsonded so far. I'll try to answer more in time in future. I've added a third alternative where both f's have the same shape (note however, that I had to cap the first f so that the upper tip does not collide with the next f. If I had just copied the secon

Hi Ricardo, * RGB ES schrieb: I can see a problem on this discussion: a sans serif "i" should not have, ehr, serifs... You're right. But many of the professional font contain the "fi" ligature (as Unicode character U+FB03) with an extended "f" bar to the "i". I mean, the i on a sans serif

I can see a problem on this discussion: a sans serif "i" should not have, ehr, serifs... I mean, the i on a sans serif font should NOT have horizontal lines, and because of that it cannot be combined with the f. A sans serif ligature between two f is Ok but it is wrong between an f and an i: the on
