Garamond
[edit]- ... that many fonts named Garamond, such as that included with Microsoft Office, are actually based on work by Jean Jannon, more than fifty years after Claude Garamond's death?
- ALT1: that many fonts named Garamond, such as that bundled with Microsoft Office, were shown by Beatrice Warde to be based on work by Jean Jannon, more than fifty years after Claude Garamond's death?
- Reviewed: Donald Trump's The Art of the Deal: The Movie.
- Comment: Awarded GA status on the 6th Feb (UTC time) following review by Casliber. Some really nice sources available online or through Google Books, including Warde, Vervliet and Microsoft's own website.
Improved to Good Article status by Blythwood (talk). Self-nominated at 13:02, 6 February 2016 (UTC).
- Striking ALT1 hook; at 212 prose characters, it's over the 200 character maximum. BlueMoonset (talk) 00:24, 1 March 2016 (UTC)
- Article reached GA, long enough and within policy
- Hook is short enough, interesting and well cited. I prefer ALT0.
- QPQ exempt, as only 2 other nominations [1]
- Overall, passes, congratulations. Joseph2302 (talk) 19:08, 2 March 2016 (UTC)
