Might be interesting for some: The photography SE has a photo competition with a typography theme. photo.stackexchange.com/questions/124613/…

@yo' the same pens I use!

@Rmano do you use 05 or 07?

@yo' 07

because (funnily enough) you can almost only buy 07 in France and 05 in Czechia. Dunno why :-/

Question: which is the plain/context agnostic way of saying \newbox{\qqq}\sbox{\qqq}{zzz}?

@yo' Now that I think of it I have just seen 07. Will look at it now that I know...

\newbox\qqq
\setbox\qqq\hbox{zzz}

@Rmano ^^^

@Rmano \newbox\qqq\setbox\qqq=\hbox{zzz}(modulo making it colour safe)

@PhelypeOleinik Thanks!!!!

I have a tikzpicture into the box, and it will be discarded (just to measure things)

@Rmano If this was supposed to be 'standard' LaTeX, you'd have \newsavebox{\qqq} :)

@JosephWright That's the bilinguism problem ;-)

@Rmano Hmm, probably don't need a colour group then

@yo' seems OK to me

@JosephWright Sure, I linked to latexref.xyz here in chat recently, April 16.

@JosephWright And there's a German Latex Reference.

@JosephWright given that I think you are sometimes using circuitikz, what do you think about github.com/circuitikz/circuitikz/issues/534 ? It's probably quite a naïve approach, but... (I am quite fond of having untangled it...)

Goodbye Calibri

@PauloCereda oh they're shitty :D

@yo' They are! :)

(Microsoft I mean, not the fonts necessarily)

@yo' :D

Also it seems that all of them are bulkier than Calibri. I think people will be surprised why their CV doesn't fit on a single page anymore :D

@yo' On the other hand, now my CV will fill an entire page! :D

@PhelypeOleinik :D

@PhelypeOleinik ooh extarticle

@PhelypeOleinik OOH

@PhelypeOleinik Should be 72.27

@yo' How bizarre and anachronistic! :)

@yo' This is taking the whole palindrome thing too far.

@AlanMunn tell that to Knuth :)
