As a side note, I chose symbol for font but it didn't work in GIMP. I had to use Window's Paint (then resized the bitmap in GIMP since 72 is the largest character) to get the pi symbol. What gives? I won't report yet another bugzilla in GIMP so, if there's one that already exists or if someone else can confirm this font issue, please let me know.

Thanks AnMal. Still concerned about the font issue; thought I heard a blurb about this in the recent past (one reason I decided not to add to the bugzilla), but maybe I'm just imagining this. Anyway, thought I would combine fibonaci (Droste) with the pi to get this result.

@Lyle: Re-fonts I think you're remembering this thread, and it was you that found the bugzilla for it: viewtopic.php?f=8&t=5396&start=10#p67939 And speaking of pi: Measuring Pi with pies Kevin |

Technically it's "Pi Approximation Day." pi =/= 3.14

Since I used the symbol, it's the exact number Merrak. lol As a side note, decided (and did so earlier but forgot to post it here) to upload the seamless texture at Deviant. http://lylejk.deviantart.com/art/Pi-Day-359461677 |

Didn't see your video post (way too focused on the font issue when I responded to you Kevin; even added to the bugzilla thread my disdain a few minutes ago. lol). Enjoyed the video.

Shouldn't Pi day be on the 22nd of July (22/7) as the fraction is more exact than the accepted decimal equivalent

I looked up Pi Day on the wiki....there are two Pi Days a year, and that one is the second one. |

In one of my classes, we have a few international students who didn't know why pi was 143 in the US. I had to explain all about varieties of date formats so everyone knew what was up. I told them that in Europe, pi day would be April 31 because that would be written 31/4 - and to celebrate, I would bring everyone a homemade pie on April 31. I hope they're not disappointed they won't get a pie from me - but it's for the best. I can't cook pies at all. |

Thanks, Wallace. Now we still have the Ides (that would be today) and, of course, St. Patty's to look forward to.

Lyle it's fine, but I can't give you 10 out of 10 because Akira Haraguchi used a very long Archimedean Spiral https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akira_Haraguchi |

lolol Like I said, Nidhogg; not an original idea. Works killing any creative I may or may not have had. Need a VaCa. lololololol Still, you have today (Ides) and, of course, St. Patty's Day to get something done. As for me, it's my Friday, so it will be a busy day for me, but then I have the next few days (sans Wednesday for my part-time job which I'm scheduled for) to chill.
