Thank you to all our Chinese and Japanese community translators

Posted on February 8, 2013 by Nicole Miñoza | Comments (3)

In the past few months we’ve had a lot of activity by the Chinese and Japanese communities on our Community Translation project (over 100 accepted translations). We are very pleased to see all of this activity and want to publicly thank the following five individuals:

Ying Ning
Tonny Xu
Vincent Ding
Hai Liang
Takesato Hayashi

Without them, and all of the other individuals we mentioned in previous posts, this program would not be a success.

Announcing Source Code Pro

Posted on September 24, 2012 by Nicole Miñoza | Comments (0)

Following again in the tradition of Adobe’s first open source font, Kenten Generic, the Adobe Type team announced today the release of their second open source typeface family, Source Code Pro. This monospaced typeface family was designed by our team’s own type designer Paul Hunt, who based the work on Source Sans Pro, Adobe’s first open source typeface family, released just last month. Six weights of Source Code Pro, along with its source files, can be download from the Open@Adobe portal on SourceForge, and for those who want to clone and fork the project, please refer to the GitHub location. The fonts are also available for Web use through Typekit, WebINK, and Google Web Fonts.

To learn more about the inspiration behind Source Code Pro, and how its design was adapted from Source Sans Pro, please refer to Paul Hunt’s Typblography article.

Today the Adobe Type team launched a new pilot program for Community Translation. This program is aimed at getting translations for Adobe’s typeface notes and will reward contributors with free fonts. The team will be using an internal Adobe tool, the Adobe Translator application, to get translations for their 400+ typeface notes (also referred to as typeface histories). These typeface notes provide users additional information about the typeface and often include information about the history of the typeface. On average, these typeface notes are about 100 words in length. Continue reading…
