Lazy but lovely hacks.

I’ve been working on a drop in replacement for a label generator. It’s four times faster than the thing it’s replacing and produces a sharper image.

In practice, the sharper image is fainter when printed on the label, a worry when the print heads start to reach end of life.

I speak to the vendor that sold us the new version of the label software, and they say nothing can be done. They too have changed their component, it’s a black box. That’s just the way it is.

Red rag to this bull. I don’t like being told something is impossible. If possible, I want those labels looking as close to the present ones as possible.

I enlist the help of my better-sighted colleagues. We spend an afternoon looking for slightly thicker fonts. We do find a couple of candidates, but none are quite right. None are the same.

Last night, a solution dawned on me. I contacted my #2 and said “I think I’ve just solved this, and you’ll never believe how”. Two minutes later, she’s on the phone.

“How?”

“I made a new fucking font”. I just had. I’d downloaded a piece of software called FontForge, which allowed me to create a slightly thicker version of the existing font. Works like a fucking champ.

A life lesson to be had there. Once you’ve identified what you can’t change, change what you can :slight_smile:
