Yes I know it is pretty darn late but hey - what else are holidays there for? Except learning and partying and dancing and chilling and… well yes I just could not stop until it worked like I wanted it to.
My TypoGridder now works as a MiniTool for Konqueror and as a bookmarklet in Firefox and Opera. It should have the correct height on any page and should be on top of everything. Please test it and report any bugs.
I recently read two articles about using grids in webdesign. It just makes sense. Read them yourself:
I’ve wrote a little javascript which displays a basline grid on any page (via bookmarklet). For more information visit the project website.
Please use this article for any feedback.
PS: And as you might see, I have a lot to do to let my website align to any grid. The curse of a layman.

Microsoft has created some new fonts for their Office 2007 suite and Vista: Calibri, Cambria, Candara, Consolas, Constantia, Corbel. Read this article for more infos and some pictures.
They look pretty good I have to admit but nevertheless they are tainted by evil ;-). Nevertheless they might become quite common in the next months. So how does one acquire these fonts (besides spending a fortune on their software)?
Windows ships them with their free PowerPoint Viewer. All you have to do is extract the *.exe and the containing *.cab. Than you’ll be able to install the TrueType Fonts like others.
I didn’t find this out, I read it in the German Blog http://praegnanz.de or rather this blog entry
Run cabextract on the *.exe and the ppviewer.cab once. You’ll have the TTF files in your current directory, install them (e.g. via KControl).
