ef - the first tale project

Hi folks,
Along with Agilis and the others, I’ve signed on for the ef translation project, and we’re hoping to get the game out sometime in May.
I’m just the lead programmer-type, so I spend my days hating on minori’s game engine and its lack of typographic substance.
No kerning, no ligatures, no variable-width spaces—it’s a typographer’s nightmare.
But who needs clean type when you’re staring at moe?
I’m really looking forward to the release. Coming from the technical side, there’s nothing more heartwarming than seeing system and content mesh to provide people with happy, warm feelings about our beloved Miyako.
Here’s a type specimen:

Woot! Can’t wait for this! I got the Japanese version and got it to work on my computer when I realized….I don’t know Japanese ^^;

Very good article! The author seems to be deeply interested in what he writes about. And readers feel that at once.
