The Mooplr Blog is only hours old and already it bears exciting news! Today sees the roll-out of a new font for Mooplr stickers!
A couple of days ago, Stefan of the Moo People gave me a nudge to tell me that he was seeing some missing letters in Mooplr sticker names – namely of those cities containing a Macron (e.g. the line above the ‘o’ in Ōsaka and Kyōto). This turned out to be a problem with the font I was originally using to generate the text on the bottom of each sticker. A little bit of digging later and I’ve managed to turn up a font that supports a much wider set of characters (including the missing ones Stef pointed out).
But that’s not all! I’ve also increased the size of the images that Mooplr sends to Moo for printing. What does this mean? Bigger stickers? Well, no. But it does mean that the regular stickers should now see an increase in the text quality! I should also point out that this increased size may slightly decrease the speed of Mooplr.com, as it takes us more time to send the images to Moo (you know, because they’re bigger). This should be short-lived though, as we’ll only need to do it once per city (the good people of Moo don’t forget the images we send them). Once you see those high quality stickers, I’m sure you’ll agree that they’re worth the wait.
