Making the 1st digital fonts for Chinese in the 70s & 80s was
extremely
hard
work.
Each character was 256 bits
Or really: 256 choices re: where to put a pixel, or not, inside a tiny grid.
1000s of characters, 100s of 1000s of choices.
HELP! Where can I pitch this article?

(I was so moved and inspired by everyone’s help yesterday, that I thought it best to ask the wisdom of the crowd again!)
ps I should mention: I have access to ALL of the process documents and rough drafts. It is an *unbelievably* cool archival collection!!!
