The Importance of Gabriola

Geraldine Wade from the Cleartype Advanced Reading Technologies team walked us through a look at what makes Gabriola different from other fonts in Windows, how it lights up in Blend, and to talk about what this means for font designers going forward. Jeff Bell from the Office team showed us how the upcoming Publisher 2010 puts the stylistic sets of Gabriola into users’ hands.
And it's named after Gabriola Island, B.C.

Spent 5 days there this August, we have a cabin on the island. Nice place to relax, even to retire to(hopefully one day myself). And a tidbit, Bob Hope used to have a yacht in Silva Bay, he liked it here too

Wow, this is so awesome to see. I was wondering what the Advanced Reading Technologies group had been up to
And Office 2010 supports OpenType features?! My dreams have come true.
