one of my first post college jobs was a temp gig creating thousands of navigational menu images in 5 different states because it had a custom font and iconography, the fact that nobody will have to do that ever again is good I hacked together some scripting in photoshop to automate the whole process except I had to make buckets for one line text and ones that wrapped to two, finished that in four days instead of the two months they had budgeted so they [a major national bank] tried to make me their art director because they'd had three quit in the previous year

qirex posted:this is why it's only really suitable for pictures, a svg is a rendered vector image not an original editable source except you can in fact embed fonts, making the text editable? like I think the editability is half the point

i'm not sure anyone knows what "the" point of svg is. part of the problem is that it kinda tries to wear too many hats

Leperflesh posted:The SVG file format permits embedded bitmap images, I guess so you can like, put icons into a diagram or something, but lately we've come across images that are "converted" to svg by just slapping the SVG xml header in front. How very smart thanks folks that is super helpful. drum scanners used to generate multiple Encapsulated PostScript files, one per color channel, plus a control file (also Encapsulated PostScript) containing an optional low-resolution preview—all bitmaps I worked for a time on software whose primary job was to extract the bits from the color channel files for more accurate previews in QuarkXPress than just the low-res one would provide, especially when generating full-resolution previews of things like magazine pages with scanned ads imposed why they didn’t just use loving TIFF I’ll never know

Leperflesh posted:except you can in fact embed fonts, making the text editable? like I think the editability is half the point it could be murky for accessibility, depending on how the svg is embedded… maybe? i've not tested a bunch of text in a svg because that's discouraged from the days of raster images

I don't immediately find clear answers but it does appear that at least some of the text embedded in an .svg markup could be readable by JAWS etc. The W3C says SVGs have lots of accessibility features, but of course it's up to implementers to take advantage of them. https://www.w3.org/TR/SVG-access/

zip doesn’t preserve resource forks of Mac files which is why mods for and Mac original games get hosed since a ton of the data is stored there. ev nova and marathon being big ones for having a deep mac mod community before the ports. having to use the pc StuffIt expander is pretty funny.

 When I was 10, my parents upgraded from a 286 with EGA and a monochrome monitor to a shiny Gateway 2000 with Windows 95 and a Pentium. Changed my life forever

I worked preload shift at UPS in the mid-late 90s, I worked on the line for the 94105 zip code which is downtown san francisco and so every few days some company on my line would get in an order of gateways. The parade of cow boxes heading across the conveyer belts was always a discouraging sight, foretelling the doom of some unlucky loader who would have to figure out what the gently caress to do with 80 monitors or whatever. I developed a sort of pavlovian aversion to gateways, lol

flat ui is bad enough but when you combine flat and monochrome it's just ughhhhhghghghghghghghghgh like microsoft could have gone ~modern~ with this version of the windows logo. not as nice as the old bubbly one or the one with the trails of dots, but it was right there, and it's at least visually balanced.  but nooo they had to make it (1) flat, (2) monochrome, (3) all straight lines, and (4) off-center.  literally sophomoric. gently caress's sake.
