Synopsis

Explaining each separate aspect of the technology of font formats, this book shows how to install and manage fonts using the utilities Font/DA Mover, Suitcase or MasterJuggler. It covers Adobe Type Manager and Type Reunion, and provides a chapter on how to use Fontgrapher for special typographic solutions such as customizing fonts for logos and creating speciality typefaces and characters. Aimed at intermediate and advanced users, this guide caters for three levels of users: those with no extra fonts; those with just a few extra; and those with hundreds of fonts to manage. An extensive illustrated glossary of typographic terms and a list of vendors is also included.
