Here's my thought on 💭 Notes – 09:32 Thu 19 Jun 2025 – David Bushell – Web Dev (UK)
David's design on his blog is fantastic likely from years of small improvements like this converting ugly quotes to pretty quotes and optimizing fonts.
It’s common for markdown libraries to convert the first to the second like my build script does.
This is new to me, I had no idea that markdown libraries did this, I'm now interested if markdown-it does it.
For subsetting I use the fontTools library but I’ve no idea how to setup Python environments. I got it working once and failed to document the process.
David, David, David, I'm sorry python has done you this dirty. I should do a post on making python environments in the age of
uv
. You got options to run in docker/podman, a whole ass vm, uv venv, uvx, uv run, uv script, python -m venv, virtualenv, poetry, hatch, and too many more. The ones that matter are containers or uv.

This post is a thought. It's a short note that I make about someone else's
