In digital typography, type designers are sometimes also called font developers or font designers.

There havenât always been nine justices on the court. The U.S. Constitution established the Supreme Court but left it to Congress to decide how many justices should make up the court. The Judiciary Act of 1789 set the number at six: a chief justice and five associate justices.
All but four presidents have appointed at least one justice to the Court and three presidents - Andrew Jackson, Abraham Lincoln, Franklin D. Roosevelt - have appointed justices who collectively have served more than 100 years. The Court currently has six male and three female justices. One justice is African-American, one is Latino, and two are Italian-Americans; six justices are Roman Catholics, and three are Jewish. The average age is 67 years, 7 months, and every current justice has an Ivy League background. Our Supreme Court Justices comparison also incorporates academic data that reflects the ideological leanings of justices since the 1937 term.
