From "Chris MacGregor "
Subject: Hello to the List
Hello all, Michel asked me to join a few weeks back, but as I have been so busy the last few days it took me some time to remember to do so. I guess that I should introduce myself to everyone on the list (If I have not met you before) so here goes: My name is Chris MacGregor and among other things I design typefaces and publish Chris MacGregor's Internet Type Foundry Index. I have been involved with type design for nearly seven years and have designed nearly a quarter-million typefaces (well, OK, 240,000 of those typefaces are instances in a two axis Multiple Master faces, other than the two multiple master faces I have designed about 100 faces.) Still, one should not be judged by the number of faces they have designed alone. I am a founding member of TypeRight (www.typeright.org) and have written and spoken on issues involved with both web and type design most recently at TypeCon, typo[media] and Publishg Magazine. I hang my professional hat as a Web Communications Specialist (Kinda like the A-Team of the web department) at Halliburton. I occasionally have misspelled a word or two so try not to be offended by errors, we all make them. I was involved with the initial discussion to get this list started at TypeCon in October (I believe it was Gary Munch, Michel Bujardet, Don Synstelien, Laurence Penney and myself?) as a sort of guild/labor support group. I hope to see the list grow over the next few years and turn into something very supportive of type designers. So, here is a big Texas Howdy to the list! CHris BTW, I am signing on through my work address as I need to fill up my E-mail box here and not at home. You can always reach me at Chris@typeindex.com or Chris@macgregor.net.
