The Screenfont mailing list on onscreen typography

You can now subscribe to an Internet mailing list dedicated to onscreen typography. While other mailing lists concern themselves with print typography, Screenfont is interested only in typography and graphic design intended for luminous or reflective screens.

Some immediately obvious subject-areas are:

Film titles, including opening and closing credits
Typography for the World Wide Web, CD-ROM, kiosks, E-mail, and other computer-based applications
Captioning and subtitling (but see also the Media Access mailing list)

Subscription and posting instructions

To subscribe, send a message containing the words subscribe screenfont Firstname Lastname in the body of a message to listserv@listserv.heanet.ie. Fill in your own real Firstname and Lastname. You could also try selecting this link, which for most browsers will start a new message for you with most of the information filled in.

There’s another way: Try sending mail to screenfont-subscribe-request@listserv.heanet.ie (or use this link).

To unsubscribe, send a message containing the words signoff screenfont Firstname Lastname in the body of a message to listserv@listserv.heanet.ie. Fill in your own real Firstname and Lastname. (Or try this link.)

To send a message to the list so that everyone can read it, mail your message once only to screenfont@listserv.heanet.ie.

Note that the addresses for posting to the list and for subscribing and unsubscribing are different.

If you want to receive Screenfont as a digest (all the day's messages assembled into one big message), subscribe first, then send the command set screenfont digest to listserv@listserv.heanet.ie (or try this link). (set screenfont nodigest turns digests off.)
