Job Search: Beginning Anew Every Day
Jun. 2nd, 2026 08:08 amSo I started the new search properly yesterday. I think I got a lot done, even though the progress is never immediately obvious.
I did get one bite right off, but the web software used to test for French language skills was having trouble working with my browser. As the company involved is one that I like working with and hope to work with again - and they're actively working to resolve the issue to our mutual satisfaction - I don't think I'm going to name them here.
Also, before my contract ended, I decided to finally get a license for Fontlab. I'd been wanting that for decades.
Decades.
Because I already have a Typetool 3 license, I was able to get upgrade pricing. Not much of a discount, true, and I am okay with that. I've resumed work on a pet font design project going back a couple of decades inspired by background stuff in DC Comics' Legion of Super-Heroes series.
