Modern Linguist is a WordPress template realized by Joel Goodman and designed with National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) participants in mind: it allows integration with the NaNoWriMo.org word count API, providing dynamic and automatic word count updates pulled directly from the user’s NaNoWriMo profile. Modern Linguist comes with 8 standard, Open Source or Creative Commons typeface options, as well as The Fell Types too that are used by permission. The authors are given the choice of using a font-face that best suits their novel’s mood or tone. The fonts include:
- Delicious and Fontin Sans, by exljbris Font Foundry
- The Fell Types (English and Great Primer)
- Droid serif
- Lucida
- Garamond
- OFL Sorts Mill Goudy, by Barry Schwartz
Many of the included typefaces rely on the @font-face CSS3 rule and thus require a modern browser to display correctly.
