#Fedora Linux 37 is here! Read about it at fedoramagazine.org/announcin… or head straight to getfedora.org to start downloading!
Last night I went and implemented font variation support in mplcairo, using all the builtin capabilities of Cairo and FreeType:
github.com/matplotlib/mplcai…
This example replicates the pattern from the recently announced Mona Sans/Hubot Sans site from @github
Also, video compression kills the fonts on thin weights and/or if you scale up the video, so don't @ me about the render quality.
And the fonts in question that inspired working on this, also because of @story645
nitter.cf/tobiasahlin/status/159…
Today we're releasing two variable open source fonts from @GitHub, Mona Sans and Hubot Sans. We use them in production, and now you can use them too.

We're particularly psyched for extended character support, 3D improvements, better bar plot labeling, striped lines, and compressed layout!🥳

3.6 is out c/o our release manager @QuLogic and all other sorts of awesome folks! 🥳 Longer thread on all the cool things in a few days, but for now check out the highlight real at github.com/matplotlib/matplo…
While I don't love how it works, managed to get the Transparency plugin working again in @impidgin 3 against @GTKtoolkit 4.

ALT A screenshot of Pidgin 3 with transparency enabled. The left window is the Pidgin conversation window and the top right is the buddy list; both are semi transparent. The bottom right window is the plugin dialog showing the enabled Transparency plugin. Below all windows is a terminal with the source code for the Transparency plugin.
Last week, @impidgin made it to @GTKtoolkit 4. Now it's time to refresh the preference pages (some parts still a bit WIP.)

After 207 days, 139 review (pull) requests over 3 repositories. Pidgin 3 (still in development) is officially a @GTKtoolkit 4 application! Congratulations to the team and everyone involved on this huge milestone!

After a ton of work most of it from @QuLogic we have the Pidgin 3 development tree running in GTK4!! There's still a ton of work to do to yet, but after 6+ months of work, it compiles and runs!!

We have a bugfix release thanks to @QuLogic! 🥳
We fixed some alignment and color and interactivity and units and nans and builds and oh no it's crashing 😖 bugs!

Oh, @Bell Mobility has an option to block data access.
BUT, it can only be applied to lines that already have a data plan.
So if you accidentally leave data on, you'll only find out that you were charged Pay-per-use rates ($130/GB!) when you get your bill or the $50 CRTC warning.
Because of #SciPy2022 sprints, I started on github.com/matplotlib/matplo…

And then on the flight back, I also managed to put in:
