I occasionally puruse the Coding Horror Blog about programming and recently came across a fascinating entry regarding fontography for roadsign with a side step into the different strategies of Windows vs Apple in rendering fonts for the screen.

The real gem of an article is from the New York Times at www.nytimes.com/2007/08/12/magazine/12fonts-t.html?pagewanted=1&_r=1 href="http://www.nytimes.com/2007/08/12/magazine/12fonts-t.html%3C/a%3E"> which discusses how designers and engineers are trying to improve sign legibility.

Also of interest is the blog based on this artice found at www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/000930.html where the author jumps from road signs to Windows vs. Apple and takes a real beating from the Mac snobs.
