DESCRIPTION:
Out-of-Date William Weller When it was written (in 1993) it was a fairly useful book on computer fonts. Today most of the technology has changed so many topics are irrelavent. For example, in this time before True Type fonts were widely available, he discusses non-scable fonts, font cartridges and dot matrix printers. Also the last third of the book, which contains specimens of fonts, addresses for font vendors and reference books, is also out date.
It includes discussions on basic styles, standards, formats, compression methods, manipulation and hardware/software applications as they apply to all desktop computer models. Using a practical, hands-on approach, Searfoss shows the readers how to get professional results.. Aimed at graphic designers, desktop publishers, CAD/CAM draftspeople, or hardware/software systems managers or programmers, this book gives advice on how to design and use typefaces effectively
