Native American Language Fonts

via we love typography and Typophile
An interesting discussion on one of the boards over at Typohile. Scroll down to 25.August.2008 to see a “sample of the Cherokee syllabary, showing the handwritten forms followed by an early draft of the more familiar typeset forms. They are written in pairs, divided by a vertical zigzag bar.”
Thread can be found here.

“Fung Kwok Pan has developed this slick little piece of code that allows you to enter a search query, then grabs 80 Flickr photos related to your query, then makes a composite of the photos, showing you the color of whatever you entered. It’s pretty neat to watch this thing work.”
Try it yourself here.
