We need people to do coding work, +but more importantly we need people who work with fonts and have ideas about what their <em>ideal</em> tool should do. Typecast's +initial design is driven by a desire to give people access to every level of a font's creation. But we need to know how to develop +that design into one of a professional-level typography tool, and we invite all typography professionals (and enthusiastic amateurs) +to help us achieve that.</p> +<p>So please sign on in whatever capacity you feel suitable (we can never have enough testers!). Then download the latest test build +and start taking a closer look at the OpenType fonts on your system!</p> +<h3>Systems Requirements</h3> +<p>Typecast is built with Java JDK 5.0. Primary source code development is performed using NetBeans 4.0.</p> +<p><a href="http://typecast.dev.java.net/servlets/ProjectNewsRSS"><img src="https://typecast.dev.java.net/branding/images/xml.gif" border="0" width="36" height="14" alt="XML" align="absmiddle"></a> <b>Typecast RSS</b></p> +<p><i>$Revision: 1.8 $ $Date: 2004-12-16 13:30:07 $</i></p> </body> </html> |
