Creating a pixel-accurate outline version of Apple’s eWorld Tight bitmap font for a publication to be named later. This could also end up being released as a commercial typeface down the road. You never know.
I'd tell you what a sick bastard you are for concocting bitmaps out of vectors in Illustrator, except that I find myself doing this all the time, too. What is wrong with us?
@Jonathan Admittedly, fewer times redrawing cursors in Illustrator than retouching screenshots in Photoshop or pixel-twiddling the same in HyperCard’s Fatbits mode.

Unrelated: how many times in your life have you redrawn the arrow cursor in AI? For me, that number is approaching infinity.

The typographic cat is officially out of the bag. This typeface will appear alongside my interview in 8faces #6.
