TweetDeck updated with new themes, font options
Author: Brandon Zimmerman
Popular Twitter client TweetDeck has just released a new redesign. The update brings several highly requested personalization features, like the option to switch between two themes — a light background with dark text that looks more in line with the traditional Twitter interface, and TweetDeck’s iconic dark background with light text. Users can also customize their font size from the settings menu, which offers 13pt, 14pt, and 15pt options. The update is available now for the web app, Chrome, Mac, and Windows — just restart your client to see it take effect.

Galactic Font: Typing In Pictures Of Real Galaxies
Author: Stefanie Jenkins
My Galaxies is a website that translates text into images of real galaxies that look like the letters. Fun! Don’t like the way it turned out? Just hit the ‘Try a new combination of galaxies for the same message’ button — there’s more than one ‘E’ galaxy out there you know! When you’re happy with the way it looks, you can save the image in decent resolution for use in a Facebook cover photo or whatever other sadness you have planned. I spelled every dirty word I could think of and some I just made up before I got bored and screencapped the next thing that came to my mind. It was either this or ‘penis rocket zoom zoom me to the moon’.
Thanks to Melissa, who agrees it’s only a matter of time before we can hire people to actually write things in space with ship-mounted lasers like those guys in the little airplanes do with smoke.

Amazon Adds KF8 Support, Parental Controls, And A High-Contrast Font To Their Cheapest Kindle
Author: Major Workman
Amazon’s $ 79 Kindle may be the least flashy of the the bunch, but the Seattle company is starting to push out a new software update that adds some much-needed functionality to their cost-conscious e-reader.
One of the biggest additions to the mix is support for Kindle Format 8, Amazon’s relatively new e-book file format. The $ 79 Kindle seems to be bringing up the rear in that respect, as the Kindle Fire, Kindle Touch, and most of the Kindle mobile apps have already been updated to play well with those newer KF8 files.
It may sound like a minor enhancement, but it affords content creators and publishers (among other things) much finer control over the styling and layout of an e-book. As such, it also opens up the $ 79 Kindle to content like comic books that lean heavily on the Kindle Panel View feature, as well as children’s books that use fixed layouts and text popups.
If that wasn’t enough, the update also packs improved parental controls to keep the young ones out of the Kindle Store or the device’s experimental web browser. Also on board is a new, slightly crisper font that Amazon claims will make for a more “paper-like reading experience,” and a new grouping meant solely for dictionaries within the main book listing to help clean up some of the clutter.
All thrilling stuff, no? You can expect your Kindle to get the update via WiFi within a few weeks, but you can always download and install it yourself if you’re the impatient type.

Google’s ‘Roboto’ font for Android is available for download
Author: Christen Arquette
When Google released its Ice Cream Sandwich upgrade for Android, the new software brought along Roboto, an updated system font that Google designed in-house. The font has drawn its share of critics and and fans, but if you want to get an in-depth look at it for yourself, you can download Roboto on Android’s developer design guidelines website. The download contains 16 different modifications on the font (italics, bolds, and the like) as well as a “specimen book” that contains plenty of examples of the font in use. There’s a little note along with the font that says they’re designed for developers to use in their apps… but if you want to use it to type your next English paper, we’re pretty sure Google won’t mind.

Kobo eReader Touch Edition Gets Updated With Font Customization
Author: Stacey Cook
We had mixed feelings when it came to Kobo’s Touch Edition eReader. Specifically, we felt that the device was “not really a better reading experience than other devices (though not a worse).” However, that sentiment might change since the Kobo eReader Touch Edition is getting an update, which should bring with it some cool new customization features.
Basically the update will give users the ability to add their own fonts, and create new fonts on their laptop which can then be synced over to the Kobo eReader. The Kobo eReader Touch Edition is a pretty simplistic device, so chances are a lot of Kobo owners aren’t necessarily what we’d call tech savvy. If you happen to be one of them and the idea of side-loading fonts seems scary, no worries. You’ll still be able to customize your Kobo’s font by choosing from the five fonts that will be included in the update: Amasis, Delima, Felbridge, Gil Sans, and Rockwell. That brings Kobo’s on-board font offerings to a total of seven fonts, across 25 different sizes.
The update will also bring line-spacing, margin, and justification control to the Kobo eReader Touch Edition, along with the ability to turn off Kobo styling altogether. It’s worth noting that Kobo’s greatest competitors, the Kindle and the Nook, don’t offer the ability to add fonts. The whole point of an eReader is to find a convenient, space-saving way to enjoy books, and customizable fonts sounds like a great way to improve the experience. Maybe the Kobo could be a “better” reading experience after all.
