- A discussion of the unfortunate default font load-out of the iPhone.
- An interview with Stephen Coles of Typographica on FontBook, the largest printed reference for type in existence.
Typographica has some discussion on a new serifed typeface Gina.
I wish I had known about, OcaIDE, a very promising Eclipse plugin for OCaml before starting the ICFP Programming Contest. If nothing else, it would have saved a bunch of time looking up standard library functions on the web.

And how about looking up standard library functions in the reference manual supplied with the OCaml?
By the way, have you tried ocamlbrowser — it can show types of the standard library functions.

On the whole it is more of an issue about having to switch away from emacs (my current editor of choice) than whether the documentation is local or remote. Especially when all I need to know is the order of the arguments.
I’ve played with
ocamlbrowser, but I didn’t see any way to have it provide me with the documentation for a module/function, something that OcaIDE seems to do. Finally, I have to admit that I have a bit of an aversion to Tk GUIs.oxlahun said,
