The method, dubbed sIFR (or Scalable Inman Flash Replacement), is the result of many hundreds of hours of designing, scripting, testing, and debugging by Mike Davidson (umm, that’s me) and Mark Wubben.

It is something of an understatement to say that typographer Jan Tschichold was confident of his own importance. On the occasion of his 70th birthday in 1972, he wrote his own tribute in the third person. It began: "Two men stand out as the most powerful influences on 20th-century typography: Stanley Morison, who died in 1967, and Jan Tschichold."
