Via Lukelog, this piece about
typographical anachronisms in films, from newspapers being set in fonts which wouldn't exist for 20 years to bloopers like building sign in Tim Burton's
Ed Wood which is made of great big metal TrueType Chicago letters.
(That's the old Macintosh System 7 screen font.) Reminds me a bit of
Kibo's USENET rants about typography and
bad films.
And then there's this piece about the scourge of Arial, or how the ubiquitous font originated (designed not for its original charm but as a third-party drop-in replacement for Helvetica), how it got everywhere (on the back of the Beast of Redmond), and why it's more evil than Helvetica.
