Thin

edit

Jgoodwin4313, I "accepted" the draft as an article; but as I look at the resulting article, its content seems very thin.

In this earlier edit, the draft lost a long list of works printed, and a lot of sources. (This was probably in response to criticism by RoySmith.)

There should not be a long and indiscriminate list of works printed. But it seems odd that there's now no mention of any of these. Are there no disinterested comments on the contribution made by the printing to the quality or distinctiveness of any of these books?

A quick look suggests that the deleted sources were largely for matters that are peripheral to GLF&P, but do none of them help for what the company has done?

Incidentally, Carr created "Regulus and Parmenides and two digital typefaces named Cheneau and Philosophie". Yes, good. No doubt this took many hours. But then what happened to these typefaces? Have they found themselves being much used? Have they been discussed?

One source that was criticized earlier was luc.devroye.org. The author is a mathematician, but we're told (unfortunately without references) that he est profondément impliqué dans l'histoire des lettres, polices et la conception de polices de caractères. If you could strengthen the typography aspect of Devroye's article (via disinterested sources, of course), you'd be able to cite his website on Carr's typefaces. -- Hoary (talk) 05:26, 30 July 2020 (UTC)Reply
