Just for fun: The automatic DU Hillvetica text generator [View all]

Most of you probably saw the post about Hillvetica, the new font inspired by the Hillary logo.

I thought it would be fun to use the DU software to let you automatically type in Hillvetica. It's a little clunky to use, but I think that's probably okay because it's not intended for long blocks of text.

Basically, all you do is type a caret -- that up-arrow thing that looks like ^ -- followed by a capital letter. There are 26 carat/letter codes, for the 26 letters of the alphabet. Check it out...

^D^E^M^O^C^R^A^T^I^C
