Colored Pencils Reviewed (Verdict: Versatile But Lacks Precision)

fonts.jpg

Blogoscoped reviews a set of colored pencils:

You will notice several obvious features missing from the list. For instance, color pencil devices do not come with a clip arts library of any sorts. On the upside, the color pens do have a full support for advanced international character sets; this allowed me to enter Chinese characters as well. It is rare for devices today – including your average keyboard – to handle these characters with such ease.

The different fonts however, like Arial or Times New Roman, came out rather quirky, as the photo illustrates. Vector graphic quality was leaving a lot to be desired as well; lines were often not straight, aligned, or perfectly round as known from other utilities.

    It’s funny but not that original – it looks very similar to the Amazon users’ reviews of Black Bic Biros (for example: http://www.amazon.co.uk/BiC-Kugelschreiber-Cristal-schwarz/dp/customer-reviews/B000JTOYLS/ref=cm_cr_dp_all_helpful?ie=UTF8&customer-reviews.sort%5Fby=-SubmissionDate&coliid=&showViewpoints=1&customer-reviews.start=1&colid=#customerReviews)

    For those who haven’t seen them, they’re spread between several of the cheapest pens Bic make and contain some pure comedy gold. Undoubtedly some of the best pages on t’interweb.
