@svgeesus@mastodon.scot Thanks to this, I just spent the past hour reliving the summer of 2009 via the listserve discussions that led, eventually, to the charter of the W3C webfont working group. I’d forgotten how cheeky I was.

@TiroTypeworks@typo.social @svgeesus@mastodon.scot it's been years, so it's likely fine to say now: Rich Roat (RIP)/House Industries, and others helped fund the unpaid labor from the type community and send type folks to those meetings as observers (I was one) so that the type community would be well represented.

@TiroTypeworks@typo.social Yeah I spent much of the weekend re-reading www-font and www-style archives and now have ptsd from the memories. Your contribution was important, and appreciated both at the time and in retrospect.
