   I made this to scratch an (admittedly very mild) itch I've had for some time. But I'm betting some of you have had the same itch. I posted some details about GlyphSearch here: http://thomaspark.me/2013/11&#x2F

    I found that equally baffling. I threw together a page that displays the best (according to Adobe[1]) webfonts of the bunch: http://jsbin.com/itayep [1] http://html.adobe.com/edge/webfonts/#edgeWebFonts

    Relevant to this thread, since the goats-vs-sheep study is brought up so often to add authority to the claim, Caspersen et al. were not able to repeat Bornat & Dehnadi's results. They discuss their findings here: http://dl.acm.org/cita

    I'm not color blind, but I see the same thing. Shading creates the effect of the boxes being different sizes even though they're not. Here's a screenshot: https://twitter.com/thomashpark/status/238665017145303040/ph...

    Here's a nice demo of a similar library called Scrollorama: http://johnpolacek.github.com/scrollorama/ Skrollr is noteworthy because it's significantly smaller (5.5kb vs. 94kb+jQuery), and makes use of HTML5 data attributes for notation.

    Yes, it's targeting 2.0. Both the CSS and LESS files will be kept in sync with Bootstrap. So you won't need to compile anything, just download the latest swatch CSS.
