I wanna know too, so I'm commenting so that I get a notification when someone who knows what they're talking about comes along.

+pizza box audio recording wasn't as good as it is now, so it made many people sound similar.

+pizza box no problem :) I'm pretty sure that's why. If not, then someone will just correct me lol

The speaking pattern you're referring to is called a trans-atlantic accent. It was popular in America during that time period and is described as being somewhere between an American accent a British accent, hence the name.

that accent also helped people with different accents all understand the radio. Because we had even more dialects back then.

USA is like a giant company

Almost every developed nation is mostly capitalist. Socialism is a theory and nothing more. Socialist programs are great but pure socialism is not viable.

+bdr_ There must be a balance, like with everything. Pure laissez-faire economics is prone to low wages and corruption so some government regulation would be better. Also, socialized public school is the reason so many Americans were able to go to school. Think for yourself, everyone

Reggie Watchowtnow What? Actually, I'm a skeptic. If you look on my channel, bar all the soccer stuff, you'd see that. I'm more worried about major issues that effect society, like how corrupt politicians are and how the knowledge of logical fallacies can further critical thinking, which in turn can change the masses from sheeple to informed skeptics.

Skeptic? that explains a lot actually , they almost never have all the information.

True. When you click the "Font" menu in a word processing application, you get a list of *typefaces* to choose from. However, since each letter from a typeface is completely scalable, there isn’t any distinction between a font and a typeface any more.

As a casual, It's nice to hear that there are jargon and a technical term for the word "font". Thanks for broadening my knowledge.

I never understood the difference! Thanks!

Technical necessity. The word "typeface" was too long to be fully shown on computers at the time.

Nay Trevejo I think people who translate them use those because they're so common in western comics so they want to emulate that

that makes sense

Ever heard of "Anime Ace?"

My German comics have this font too, and I always thought that was interesting, because since it is so strictly in lines. German has a lot of accents on letters, like umlauts, and somehow it still just feels good and familiar

Translated Manhwa have this font too; it’s very interesting

@Mathis Bouffard nah b. Still *happens* .

That is a technique like any other. It can be done well or badly. In alternative comics they do it better because the lettering is done by the cartoonist that wrote it. Super hero comics are like assembly lines where the actual creator has less control.

Agreed

Cough diary of a wimpy kid cough

Yes *I* agree

lol

Really? Name all fonts

Dan from Glasgow, is that you?

+Ike Nelson Unfortunately not. My name is all too common.

I knew there would be a comment on this..

A typeface is a collection of fonts of different styles (regular, italic, bold, etc.) and sizes (8, 12, 16pt). A font is a single subset of those. E.g. a font would be Helvetica Regular at 16 pt. Whereas the family of Helvetica is the typeface. In the digital world 'font' was used in document writing software, since that's what you choose. It was mostly in the days of mechanical lettering, whereas the differences were more prominent.

ui_wizard you gave a solid explanation than my typography teacher in college in a semester

The japanazis need to be destroyed!

Idk if I'm wrong but I just saw your comment on a Dave Hax video 😂

I see you commenting everywhere lol

Yes, sort of. It was intended for some Microsoft children's software.

It was designed for Microsoft Bob, a desktop software designed for children. The font was originally designed for aliased (no smoothing) rendering, but after Microsoft introduced ClearType-their anti-alias font smoothing algorithm-a lot of people used it in unusual places. It was never meant to be used in print or logos.

@@dealloc ClearType is a very specific anti-alias algorithm intended for use with the first LCD screens, and thus much younger, as a technology, than Microsoft Bob, or even anti aliasing (AA) itself. Microsoft was notoriously lazy when it comes to AA, so I get where this perception comes from, but it's a misconception. Comic Sans was made as a True Type font, which is a vector typeface, subsequently rasterized for screen display (and hand-optimized for various sizes) -- the so called bitmap or display version. It was this rasterized version that was aliased, simply because, unlike Apple, Microsoft didn't care about having AA in its system type rendering until Windows XP -- however, the font was always fully printable in high resolution. The reason why it was used is because it was available in the menus right off the bat. In Windows, out of all system-provided fonts, many of which are either too formal (serif, i.e. Times New Roman), or too informal and plain (sans serif, i.e. Arial), Comic Sans was likely the most casual/friendly option. And many people have bad taste when it comes to aesthetics. TL;DR Comic Sans has nothing to do with ClearType, or with people and anti-alias, in any combination whatsoever. It just happened to become one of the system fonts in Windows, that people for some reason like (or hate). Yes, it originated during the MS Bob project which was something for Melinda to do (yes the same Melinda that he married soon enough). That project is usually quoted as the biggest flop in computer history, and many of the production remnants spilled over to other Microsoft software. So that's how we ended up with Clippy in MS Word, that stupid selection of animated Search Assistant mascots in Windows XP, and, of course, Comic Sans. Yay. Thank god this stopped after they married!

Yeah Melinda Gates asked an artist to make a font specifically for the program. They didn’t use it

Is there going to be the same exact comment on every non-political Vox video. "This video does not challenge my political views. Good Vox"

how did you put a line through the word vox?

***** yes please inform me

Well, its not like they really got the message from a bajillion dislikes...

I think it's arial but I'm not quite sure, u can look it up online tho

Roboto, the same font Google use for Android.

F*ck you, assh*le !

@@str8kronic "Hey! You can't do that in here!"

I think they use Oswald -10 in Kerning and you got KZfaq

1st

They exist! I have a few Leroy kits, they closely resemble a pantograph, and so many comic letterers used it. They are for sale fairly cheap on eBay!

We used to hand letter using guide lines with a pencil, then ink everything in, and then erase the pencil lines with a bag eraser.

They even did a crossover episode.

They've done a few!

+PichanPerkele I heard what the original commenter had heard.

I can only speak from personal experience, but sort of drawing the letter twice, with one outer outline and one inner one but close enough that they bleed into each other, tends to look better. Just using a fatter pen makes them look too round on the ends.

@@stevethepocket agree

It is dying same with inking. the true art form of comics is dead, it is sad that poeple that like todays comic art
