Josep Maria Font Generalized Matrices in Abstract Algebraic Logic

Algebraic Logic Abstract. The aim of this paper is to survey some work done recently or still in progress that applies generalized matrices (also called abstract logics by some) to the study of sentential logics. My main concern will be to emphasize the links between this line of research and other existing frameworks in Algebraic Logic, either well-established ones (such as the old theory of l...

In Memoriam Attila Kuba (1953-2006)

Josep Call

For centuries humans have been looking for the key element that transformed non-human into human minds. Divine intervention, language, and more recently enculturation have been some of the candidates proposed for enacting such a change. Ten years ago I could have subscribed one of the thesis of this paper: “Enculturated great apes might transform the typically astute primate behavior-reading in...

Organic Fonts. Including Aliphatic Font, Ring Font, and Organic Font

This program is designed for a Macintosh 512 or larger, and it works very well with the Macintosh Plus on which I tested it. It will not work on the 128K MacIntosh. Directions are also included for using it with the 400K drive of the Mac 512, but with a little extra bother. The program provides three sets of fonts: AliphaticFont, OrganicFont, and RingFont. In addition, a set of templates called...

Font Selection and Font Composition for Unicode

The integration of the current scripts of the world into a single character encoding standard (Unicode/ISO 10646) poses new challenges to system software and user interface designers, typographers, and font providers. Constructing or designing all-encompassing “Unicode fonts” is not feasible for several reasons in most cases; much more flexible solutions are necessary. The paper analyses the re...
