			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I wanted to start on a software tool for playing with typography (text) in a casual, bullying sort of way. Hence this typography toy, which I have stopped fiddling with now&#8230;</p>
<p align="center"> <img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2414/2267833128_5b65879460_m.jpg" height="216" width="240" /></p>
<p>There&#8217;s a <a href="http://flickr.com/photos/redlex/sets/72157603917987981/" title="Typography toy pics on flickr">set on flickr</a> of random pics I made with it. It&#8217;s more fun to play with it than look at the results, though&#8230;</p>
<p>It&#8217;s written in <a href="http://processing.org" title="Processing">Processing</a> again. It&#8217;s downloadable via the following links:</p>
<ul>
<li>Windows: <a href="http://create52.com/typography-toy/typography-toy-0.9.windows.zip" title="Windows download">download</a> (approx 300K. Java must be installed on your system.)</li>
<li>Mac OS X (and possibly earlier versions): <a href="http://create52.com/typography-toy/typography-toy-0.9.macosx.zip" title="Mac OS X download">download</a> (approx 300K)</li>
<li>Linux: <a href="http://create52.com/typography-toy/typography-toy-0.9.linux.zip" title="Linux download">download</a> (approx 300K)</li>
</ul>
<p>The Processing source code is included with each download. If you download it, please read the readme.txt file &#8211; or else you&#8217;ll probably just scratch your head and go &#8220;whaaaa?&#8221; before resorting to a life of crime&#8230;.</p>
<p>Again I&#8217;m reminded that Processing isn&#8217;t the most natural seeming choice for software where you need some sort of complex interface: it doesn&#8217;t seem to come with the ability to add buttons etc. to your UI (although you can implement them yourself &#8211; doh!) &#8211; hence the large amount of key presses possible to control this thing. Of course, with some effort, a nicer interface is well possible&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8220;Typography&#8221; probably isn&#8217;t an accurate word for what this thing is &#8211; but somewhere a man is being eaten by a gruffalo, and that is much more important, don&#8217;t you think?</p>
