Talk:Gill Sans

message: The basic glyph shapes do not look consistently across font weights and widths, especially in Extra Bold and Ultra Bold weights, and Extra Condensed width. However, even in lighter weights, some letters do not look consistent. For example, in letters p and q, the top strokes of counters do not touch the top of the stems in Light, Bold, Heavy fonts, but touch the top of the stems in Book, Medium fonts
Does anyone have a reference for this? I have no idea what this is referring to, I've not seen any problems with the font in my own use of it. It appears to have inconsitent weights in earlier versions of MS Word but this is a problem with the rendering, not with the typeface. 203.217.150.68 (talk) 06:42, 18 May 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Inconsistency of Gill Sans? 

message: An editor, , has repeatedly reverted the following addition:
: Edward Tufte, the information design theorist, uses Gill Sans on his websitehttp://www.edwardtufte.com/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg?msg_id=00009r and in some of his published works.http://www.edwardtufte.com/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg?msg_id=0000Vt
: 
Now as Tufte is a notable WP:RS on design and usability issues, I (not the original author) consider this to be a reasonable addition. Thoughts? Andy Dingley (talk) 11:32, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

message: I've been fortunate enough to attend a talk by Dan Rhatigan and James Mosley on the history of Gill Sans, which took place last night in London. There's a lot of material in my notes (& possibly photographs) I'm planning to add to the article over the next few days from this. Particular areas I'm hoping to clear up are about the development in metal (maybe adding the series numbers) and then the transfer to digital. It seems that some of the material in this article (for example on the bdpq of Gill Sans) is oversimplifying things, since in the hot metal period these varied even by size for the same weight. So I plan to just add a statement of that with examples and move on. But there's a lot to add (& need to format references) so will take several days to a week to put everything up, I think. I've also made some of my own changes, in particular adding a comparison image to show how different Gill Sans can look to the digitisation. (It's quite a bad comparison right now since I used a bad scan of the original - may improve on it when I have more time.) Blythwood (talk) 05:35, 11 November 2015 (UTC)

I'm really happy with where this article is now -  it's big but covers the topic well - and am considering submitting for Good Article status when I hear back from two others I've submitted.
