Panther miscellany

There were a couple important Panther related items from last week that I wanted to preserve before moving on...

Jon Gruber takes on the Panther text rendering changes. My general impression over the last 17 years is that Helvetica looks pretty crummy everywhere but on paper but some people seem to be able to read it on screen. Whatever. If Panther continues the trend of addressing this, that's terrific. The screen shots are worth a look.

The other item was John Siracusa's recent Panther review over at Ars Technica. One of these days he's going to decide he's had enough and pass things along to someone else, but right now he's still doing MacOS X release reviews and they are always worth reading.

And if you missed it earlier, check Mark Pilgrim's What’s new in Panther.
