![]() 1 In 2015, Davis said, “The vast majority of the world’s living languages, close to 98 percent, are ‘digitally disadvantaged’-meaning they are not supported on the most popular devices, operating systems, browsers and mobile applications” (Unicode, 2015, n.p.). The term originates with Mark Davis, president and co-founder of the Unicode Consortium, a nonprofit that maintains and publishes the Unicode Standard. This term captures the acutely uneven digital playing field for speakers of the world’s 7000+ languages. Now saving the font as a new font results in the required subset.This article belongs to the Glossary of decentralised technosocial systems, a special section of Internet Policy Review.ĭigitally-disadvantaged languages face multiple inequities in the digital sphere including gaps in digital support that obstruct access for speakers, poorly-designed digital tools that negatively affect the integrity of languages and writing systems, and unique vulnerabilities to surveillance harms for speaker communities. now we can run in main menu "Encoding -> Detach and Remove glyphs" to remove all the selected (unused) glyphs. In the main menu hit "Edit -> Select -> Invert Selection" to have all the unused glyphs selected. Now all the used glyphs are selected, all unused glyphs are deselected. " from the main menu, paste the script and hit run. To execute a script right from within Fontforge select "file -> execute script. (Link to fontforge scripting help, see below). Note also, that this script assumes that fontforge is running and has the font file opened. This function selects the glyph that gets passed as the argument without clearing any previous selection. It's just repeatedly calling the same function: SelectMore(). I took the output of the service and used Notepad++'s "search and replace" functionality to get the following structure for a script: SelectMore("uc6d0") ![]() I used an internet service (see link below) to get the unicodes of all the characters that I use in my book. The key was to use Fontforge's scripting capabilities. I have found a way to create a subset of an existing font in FontForge on a semi-automated basis. I hope now it's clear why I think subsetting the font is a good solution. I already compressed the image files heavily and cannot go any further with compression as the quality starts suffering at certain compression rates. Not filling up the storage of the user's reading device unneccessarily is another consideration here. Knowing that the text of an ebook is not altered by the reader it is safe to discard all the glyphs from the font that are not used in my text. Again, my overall book filesize limit is 3 megabytes which has to do for all the pictures and the font files (plus the layout and meta files). storing 20.000 (in extreme cases up to 200.000) glyphs makes for ~ 7-12 megabytes per font weight. Asian font files are comparatively huge due to the nature of their alphabets / glyphs. But my ebooks are bilingual and for the Korean edition I need to add a Korean font (in addition to the western font). ![]() That is ok when I use a western font set. In order for a book to be sold for the certain price range that I'm going for, the file size must not exceed 3 megabytes. The Amazon Kindle publishing program has very strict file size restrictions. The ebook files (I am producing mainly for amazon kindle) consist of some meta data, the image files, layout information and of course the font files. The text, however, is not part of the pictures but is displayed on an additional layer that is displayed in foreground of the pictures. Use case: I am creating children's ebooks which by their nature consist mainly of images. In fontforge there are certain selection options (Main Menu > Edit > Selection), and I tried "Select by Wildcarcds" after converting the korean characters into their unicode sequences. The actual text is longer than this, so searching manually in fontforge is not an option. So how can I delete all the other characters from the font file that are not part of that small text sample? In the end I want to end up with a new TTF file that contains only the used characters. Here's a small example: There is a text file that contains the words "사슴 (If you know a free tool other than fontforge that can do it, that works too for me). How can I delete all characters from a TTF font file that are not used in a given text sample with Fontforge? In other words I want to create a subset from an existing font which contains only the characters that actually show in my text. ![]() In our example, we choose the first stereo pair of inputs ( Mic/Line/Inst 1-2 (Stereo)) from the list, since our external MIDI sound source has a stereo pair of outputs connected to the first set of inputs of this audio interface.

![]() ![]() With each new game, Ubisoft adds a new set list of tracks that comprise of both old and new hits (by old, I mean literally early 2000s). A music library that just keeps expanding and evolving There’s nothing particularly different, but in the later parts, I felt the experience changed a little bit. While this is great for those who want to use the game like zumba, I still don’t know how they actually measure that.īasically, mechanics-wise, it’s still the same game as before with all the bells and whistles. With Sweat Mode, you’re not keeping track of points and stars to earn for each level instead, you’re more focused on the calories you burn. From the PlayStation Camera to the Xbox Kinect, these were essential for the optimal experience.Īlso, if you’re not really up for competition with your family and friends, there’s always Sweat Mode. Of course, early on, this game required the use of a camera module to track your movements properly. In essence, you score points by copying the choreography as accurately as possible. Like previous iterations of the game, Just Dance 2022 is rather easy to get around. So sit back, relax, and enjoy a ridiculous trip down Just Dance 2022 ! As legacy as it could possibly get This game is also available for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and the Nintendo Switch. Although, in my opinion, playing with a dedicated console camera optimizes the experience a whole lot! So, why don’t we test that out, especially on a next-gen console?īefore we begin, I’d just like to point out that the version of the game used is the one for the Xbox Series X|S. For the past two iterations, Just Dance doesn’t require you to play with a camera module attached to your console to play the game. ![]() When I say “another level,” I literally mean it on both how the game plays and how you play the game. However, with each new iteration of Ubisoft’s dancing simulator, the choreography turns up to another level. I know, it’s that easy with either enough practice or with enough swing in your hips. Just Dance 2022 is a simulation game wherein the goal of every single level is to score 5 stars by perfectly copying the moves done on screen. ![]() There are also some users who upload the entire film on their channel.

Internal micrometers _ measurements are read in a similar way. They usually come with one measuring head and interchangeable ends so that a range of sizes can be measured. flexible steel tapes _ are read in a similar fashion as OD mics. Precision outside diameter These _ have a Vernier scale allowing measurements to within 0.001" accuracy. spindle _ measuring tapes are convenient substitutes for micrometers especially when measuring large diameters. For the 0"-1" mic shown here, a reading of 0.346" is arrived at by adding 0.300" plus the first. Sleeve markings are in 0.025" increments and thimble markings are in 0.001" increments. At that point, the size can be read from the markings on the sleeve and thimble. Micrometers A part to be measured is placed between the _ and anvil and the thimble is rotated until they all touch. ![]() Larger sizes are usually of interchangeable-anvil type with one frame (for a 6" to 12" set, for example). For inch sizes, they are available usually as individual micrometers (or "mikes") for each one-inch range up to 6" (0"-1", 1"-2" and so forth). A micrometer for external measuring is shown here. Some scales have graduated marks along the end for measuring short distances in locations otherwise inaccessible coiled scales, or tape measures, _ are measuring instruments constructed with screw threads of extreme accuracy. ![]() Common scale lengths are, 6", 12", 18", and 24" scales Of course, _ are also available but are not as precise as steel rules. A typical inch scale will have graduation increments of 1/64" and of 1/32" on each of the two edges of one side and 1/16" and 1/8" graduations on the edges of the other side. Rules, or scales, For use in manufacturing environments, _ are usually made of steel and can be either rigid or flexible. Often, sets of different graduations are placed along other edges of the same scale. They have marks accurately engraved at graduated intervals along the length of the scale. Both manual and electronic versions are available, and the electronic versions often have the capability to switch back and forth between inch and metric units Measuring instruments _ are the most basic tools for linear measurements. They are designed to measure either inch or metric units. ![]() Shown here is a tolerance for perpendicularity between two surface Geometric tolerances _- are precision tools available from many sources worldwide.

If the dimension in this example were applied to the I.D. When using this method, the first value should be the limit first arrived at when machining. In this case, only the maximum and minimum values allowed for the dimension are shown, stacked vertically, instead of including any separate tolerance values. The target size is 0.500" and a part measuring anywhere between 0.499" and 0.500" would pass inspection, but notice that the tolerance is unilateral since deviation is allowed only in the negative direction in this cas Unilateral tolerances _ notation is an alternative method of showing the tolerance range of a dimension. ![]() Microteatro Santo Domingo is a unique theatre concept 15-minute plays by Dominican actors/writers about local Dominican life, culture, love, and relationships.

Although canned grape leaves are available in some grocery stores, there are currently no research-tested methods for safely canning grape leaves at home.įor more information on keeping your family's food safe, visit MSU Extension's Safe Food & Water website. When ready to use, thaw them safely and cook immediately. Per the University of California Cooperative Extension, the grape leaves will keep for only six months in the freezer. You should also provide a half-inch headspace to allow for expansion. Make sure your bags are dated and labeled. Remove as much air from the bags as possible. Pat the leaves dry with a paper towel and store them in plastic freezer bags. Once cooled, remove from the ice bath, and drain the water well. After blanching, cool the grape leaves immediately in ice-cold water. Bring the water back to a rolling boil before each batch. Blanch in batches of 12-15 leaves at a time. Blanch grape leaves in the brine until soft, about one to two minutes depending on the size of your leaves. Add four cups of water and one cup of salt to a stockpot and bring to a rolling boil. To blanch, you will first need to make a brine. Prior to freezing fresh grape leaves, they need to be blanched. Rinse each leaf under cold, running water to wash off any pesticide residue and bacteria. Then move on to the next vine and repeat the process.īefore handling the grape leaves, wash your hands for 20 seconds with warm, soapy water. According to the University of California Cooperative Extension, for the best quality leaves, count three leaves from the newly grown leaves at the end of the vine and pick the next few leaves down. Massive and older leaves will be less tender than the younger and smaller ones. If desired, you can also grow them in your own garden! However, since grapes must be kept off the ground, they can be grown on an arbor or trellis. ![]() It is best to pick them before the first spray in the spring. Choose leaves without pesticides, fungicides or herbicides on them. You will want to avoid leaves with holes, and should pick the ones that appear light green, shiny and smooth. Picking them earlier in the morning is also optimal because, at this time, no grapes will be present on the vine. The months of May and early June are the best seasons for finding ripe, fresh and high-quality leaves. To obtain fresh grape leaves, it is a common practice among Arab-Americans to scavenge and pick them right off the vine. Occasionally, you may find canned grape leaves in the world foods aisle or Mediterranean section of a market. In the U.S., fresh grape leaves are not readily available in retail grocery stores. ![]() For example, according to a recent study consuming grape leaves and other stuffed vegetables may enhance a decreased risk of cardiovascular disease among Jordanians. Grape leaves contain many phytochemicals and antioxidants that may contribute to overall positive health. In addition, they are also high in fiber, folate and vitamins A and K. Grape leaves are very nutritious and according to the USDA, they are a great source of minerals such as calcium, iron and potassium. The dish usually involves rice, ground lamb or beef, and various herbs and spices mixed and rolled into a grapevine leaf. In Middle Eastern and Greek cultures, stuffed grape leaves are a traditional and popular dish. Photo: Ghaida Batarseh Havern/MSU Extension. |
