Google Releases An Open Source Font That Supports 800 Languages (googleblog.com)
An anonymous Slashdot reader quotes Hot Hardware:
It's been working on the project over the past five years in collaboration with Monotype in hopes of eradicating so-called "tofu" -- the blank boxes you see when a PC or website can't display a particular text -- from the web. Noto, or No more tofu, is Google's answer, and it's available now to download...
"We are thrilled to have played such an important role in what has become one of the most significant type projects of all time," said Scott Landers, president and CEO of Monotype... Monotype played the biggest role, though Google also collaborated with Adobe and had a network of volunteer reviewers. As far as Monotype is concerned, Noto is one of the expansive typography projects ever undertaken.
There's 110,000 characters, and Google says the project "required design and technical testing in hundreds of languages."

Isn't a lot of this due to all the new stuff that Unicode keeps adding? I still have a Bitstream Cyberbit font somewhere from... was it back in the late '90s? This is the same thing all over again, just up to date.
The whole rest of the world just needs to learn fuckin' English!

Cannot be the best at just one thing.
My penis-tool clearly served the purpose at being the best to pleasure your mom's holes. All of them.
Although if you ever try double-penetration where you pick the anus and the other dude picks the vagina, or vice versa, well there's a thin membrane separating them. It's pretty weird feeling your dick rubbing the other dude's dick through that bit of flesh. It will teach you who your REAL buddies are! But both dicks are in a female's hole, so it's definitely not gay or anything.
Even though the desire for anal sex with a woman isn't too distant from gay sex with a man. I mean, let's be objective here. The vagina is TOTALLY different from the penis! But an anus is an anus is an anus. Man or woman, they both make your dick stink a bit. But if she's really kinky she will lick it off!! Or "he" if that's what floats your boat and tickles your pickle. Your mother is kinky. More than you could believe. Very much more.
I just need the Klingon word for mocking condescension to belittle you with.

Wow, Klingons have a word for everything. They're like Space Germans.
