AnElectronic Doc license is based on the number of publications in which the font is used. Each issue counts as a separate publication. Regional or format variations don't count as separate publications.

We'll supply a kit containing webfonts that can be used within digital ads, such as banner ads. This kit may be shared with third parties who are working on your behalf to produce the ad creatives, however you are wholly responsible for it.


Digital advertisements also have different usage patterns compared to websites. Most websites generally have consistent pageviews month-to-month whereas advertising impressions can vary wildly month-to-month. Prices reflect this, making it much less expensive to use a Digital Ad license.


If you know the number of impressions the campaign requires, that amount can be ordered before the campaign begins. For campaigns where number impressions is unknown until the end of the campaign, you can true up at the end of each calendar month.


Webfonts allow you to embed the font into a webpage using the @font-face rule, so paragraphs and headings of text can be styled as the webfont. You will be serving the webfont kit for your own site and linking it in the CSS.


Webfonts can be used on a single domain. Agencies responsible for multiple websites, for example web design agencies or hosting providers, may not share a single webfont license across multiple websites.


3IP Type Foundry is a division of Three Islands Press, a small digital publishing company in Rockport, Maine. 3IP specializes in historical replications, fine text type, old map fonts, painstaking recreations of vintage and modern handwriting, and a few offbeat/display faces.


Modeling antique fonts after historical materials gives you intimate familiary with those old letters and journals and maps. The maps that inspired our Geographica serif family proved more fruitful than I first expected: they begat a pair of spinoffs of sorts, each replicating a particular 18th-century handwritten style. This is one of these. (Geographica Script is the other.) Geographica Hand mimics the careful hand-lettered serif text on a series of British maps printed in the 1700s by Emanuel Bowen, Thomas Jefferys, and others—several of them representing Colonial America and Canada. The letterforms have long serifs, irregular lines, and an agreeably organic feel. Geographica Hand comes with a series of sketchy map ornaments—churches, windmills, boats, trees, and such. Best perhaps for display situations, but plenty legible in text blocks, as well. OpenType features include true small caps, contextual and discretionary ligatures, lining and old-style figures, cartographic ornaments, and full Latin support—900 glyphs in all. US$39.


They are fully installable font files, able to be used in any software program for testing and comping purposes. They are not allowed to be used in a final project (whether personal or commercial) without purchasing a license.


Geographica is a legible, four-style serif family modeled after the neat hand-lettered place names and peripheral text on the 18th century maps of Thomas Jefferys (ca. 1710-1771), Geographer to King George III.


That project has to get in line, though, because Willson has other irons in the fire at the moment. Thankfully, he is extremely generous with his time and despite his insanely busy schedule, he agreed to sit for the second History Blog interview ever.


Q: You eloquently describe the experience of becoming engrossed by the source material. Primary sources taught in school history classes are often transcriptions rather than images of the original documents. Sometimes the writing is hard to decipher otherwise, but if we posit legibility, do you think it would help draw students in if they had to read letters/reports/news stories the way they were read in their time? That might help keep the dying art of penmanship alive too, since forgetting how to read it is part and parcel of forgetting how to write it.




Q: How is your own penmanship? Doctor scrawl, Palmer method roundness, John Hancock big, serial killer cramped? Would you ever make a font of your own hand?

A: I already have, so check for yourself!


I've never quite understood rpg hardbacks. They're big, they're heavy, and, if over four of them are in a backpack, a cover's going to be damaged. I'm fine with the core books being hardback, but a $30 hardback supplement is, in my opinion, a bit much. I prefer the old days of softcover rpg supplements. Which brings us to Monster Geographica: Underground. MG:U is a conventient, small softback, selling at $20, and containing two hundred monsters in as many pages. Gamers might balk at $20 for an rpg book of this size (and no pictures), but I'd say that there's little difference in, say, using fifty monsters from a $30 monster book versus fifty monsters from a $20 one. MG:U is entirely OGC, drawing from twenty different sources (listed below). And, no, they're not all monster books.


Speaking of monster books, MGU also takes care of another peeve I have with them: they're alphabetical. Sure, in the D&D Monster Manual, you knew what a hobgoblin was, so found it by looking under the letter 'H'. And, yes, it's important you know where aardvark is in a dictionary. But palnor? An undal? Monster names often didn't tell you anything about the monster itself. Alphabetical entries might as well be random.


CR: Monster Geographica's strength is organizing monsters by CR. Need a random encounter? Populating a dungeon level? Rather than consulting the CR index of a book and madly flipping pages back and forth, with MG you just thumb through the book to the CR you're looking for. MG organizes creatures by CR, then organizes the CRs in numerical order. The range of CR 1 to CR 9 has the most monsters. From CR 1/3 to CR 1/2, there are about two creatures per CR. From CR 1 to 2, about fifteen creatures per CR. From CR 3 to 8, about twenty creatures per CR. For CR9, ten creatures. For CR 10 to 12, about six creatures per CR. From CR 13 to 20, about two creatures per CR. Of course, the book also has an alphabetical listing, and listing of monsters by type. For easy reference, each creature typically has its own page.


Editing: Since this is a book of monsters from other sources, it's particularly important that the entries be edited to have one "voice". That is, you don't want to read one monster entry with one writing style, and another entry with a different one. The book does a pretty good job of this, with the first or second paragraph being the monster description (particularly important since there are no illustrations), Subsequent background paragraphs vary. Hunting habits, ecology, and languages spoken are the most common topics. Afterwards is the Combat section, starting with a description of how the monster attacks, followed by its Special Abilities. Overall, like many monster manuals, it's a book of monster fodder, not creature documentaries.


Layout: The layout organizes and doesn't try to impress. Most monster entries begin at the top of the page. Body font is serif. Boldface is used for stats and special abilities. Stats have a slightly larger serif font. Headers (eg. name of creature and Combat) use the stylish but not busy font found on the front cover. As said, there's no interior art for the monster entries.


Most monsters are aberrations, magical beasts, or undead, with from forty to twenty entries each. Humanoids, oozes, vermin, plants, and constructs have about fifteen entries each. Other categories have five to ten entries. There's only one animal and one dragon, and no demons or devils. Overall, most monsters are cannon fodder and subterraneous creatures, rather than bizarrely exotic and unique "boss" monsters. I did notice a handful of classic monsters, such as the Crypt Thing, Cave Fisher, and Disenchanter, from the Tome of Horrors series. I actually think this book would make a good "core" monster book for underground adventures.


In addition, MG:U contains short entries called Flora and Fauna, scattered throughout the book. While there's not enough material to create a dungeon ecology, there's enough to add some atmosphere to a game. Most are fungi, acting as potions or hallucinogens. Others are ores, with magical properties, or cave formations, such as lava tubes. Magical fungi and ores should make interesting plot devices for a quest. Hallucinogens should spice up an otherwise mundane encounter...


I don't have any problems recommending Monster Geographica: Underground. Its layout and organization should be the model for other monster books. GMs who design dungeons and have a limited budget (such as newbie GMs) could even purchase this before the Monster Manual. Of course, someone who owns books MG:U use as a source (eg. Creature Collection, Tome of Horrors) may find less value with MG:U. Monster Geographica's next books will be Marsh and Aquatic; Forest, Hills, and Mountains; and Plains (Deserts and Tundra). They may also be small, but they should also be quite useful.


Le Nigeria, la ville en Suisse, le vignoble nantais et Rodez font le sommaire du n 114. Les Samoydes, la communaut vietnamienne aux tats-Unis, les endmies tropicales, le partage de l'Afrique au XIXe sicle et le dsert de Gobi font le sommaire du n 115.


The competition in marine environment is extreme. Unicellular algae, like diatoms, are continuously eaten by microscopic grazers, the copepods. To secure their survival, the diatoms have elaborated an effective defence based on production of several different metabolites sharing common origin from the lipoxygenase-dependent oxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids. Analogously, some green algae are chemically protected against many predators by chemicals. Nevertheless, this barrier is insufficient to prevent grazing of saglossan molluscs, which have also acquired the ability to use the algal metabolites for their own defence. Other molluscs of the same order avoid to sequester defensive compounds but, directly, biosynthesize protective polyketides structurally related to typical fungal metabolites. Finally, there is a stimulating international debate on the factors promoting marine invasions. In the Mediterranean Sea the seagrass Halophila stipulacea is worthy of particular attention. The plant is considered an invasive species that is quickly replacing endemic Mediterranean species. The ecological success of H. stipulacea is suggested to involve the metabolite patrimony which, however, is not enough to prevent the attacks of the anaspidean mollusc Siphonota geographica. In this contribution we will give a summary of our results concerning chemical characterization, origin and ecological role of the secondary metabolites involved in the interactions described above.
