I screenshot Noetica's text, and rotated the image through 180 degrees using PaintShop Pro. <br /><br />Noetica's software doesn't use imaging, though. It simply takes certain Unicode characters which look like upside-down versions of standard Latin letters - in most cases only vaguely like. All the Unicode characters rest on the usual imaginary line, so what you have is the standard "lining up" at the bottom. <br /><br />When you turn your monitor around, it appears as if standard Latin letters have been lined up "along the top".Stuart Claytonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13707750452117583297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-413079521947742490.post-58678132818614187192009-04-30T10:20:00.000+02:002009-04-30T10:20:00.000+02:00Tipsy text: How did you do that lining the text up...Tipsy text: How did you do that lining the text up along the top of the letters, Grumbly? (I saw you and Noetica have been playing with this stuff at LH). I can't find it in the source code and I suspect it's been photoshopped rather than coming in straight HTML, but I'm no expert in these things.<br /><br />Of course, I'm not sure where I'd use it...AJP Crownhttp://abadguide.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-413079521947742490.post-35711817869494635772009-04-27T04:35:00.000+02:002009-04-27T04:35:00.000+02:00JJ, that's my picture in the middle.

It's not you at all. So why not put up a picture of yourself? Please. Otherwise everybody's going to think you are the late Dr Luhmann's younger twin.AJP Crownhttp://abadguide.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-413079521947742490.post-81155119610078233362009-04-26T17:15:00.000+02:002009-04-26T17:15:00.000+02:00Although I guess it predates Géricault by fifty-od...Although I guess it predates Géricault by fifty-odd years. <br /><br />In wiki it says 'The attack is the earliest shark attack to be fully documented'. I suppose we're lucky that nowadays 'full documentation' of a shark attack doesn't just mean having someone make a large oil painting.AJP Crownhttp://abadguide.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-413079521947742490.post-84852867476712071092009-04-26T17:05:00.000+02:002009-04-26T17:05:00.000+02:00It reminds me in some way of The Raft of the Medus...It reminds me in some way of <A HREF="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/ea/Th%C3%A9odore_G%C3%A9ricault%2C_Le_Radeau_de_la_M%C3%A9duse.jpg" REL="nofollow">The Raft of the Medusa</A>.AJP Crownhttp://abadguide.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
