Standard Laser Printer Fonts --- 848,866 ---- eye (and none too legible to the trained eye, either :)). ! Don Hosek offers the following insight into ligatures: + Ligatures were used in lead type, originally in imitation of + calligraphic actions (particularly in Greek which retained an + excessive number of ligatures in printed material as late as the 19th + century), but as typefaces developed, ligatures were retained to + improve the appearance of certain letter combinations. In some cases, + it was used to allow certain letter combinations to be more closely + spaced (e.g., "To" or "Vo") and were referred to as "logotypes". In + other cases, the designs of two letters were merged to keep the + overall spacing of words uniform. Ligatures are provided in most + contemporary fonts for exactly this reason. + + [Ed: there is no "complete" set of ligatures.] + 6.4. Standard Laser Printer Fonts *************** *** 880,889 **** character - A character is an individual symbol in a font. The letter ``A'' is a - character. So is a period.

Welcome to the comp.fonts FAQ. This article, posted monthly, describes many ! of the basic questions that seem to be repeated frequently on comp.fonts. ! Your comments are both welcome and encouraged. ! The FAQ is divided into sections. The first section is a general overview. ! The remaining sections are more-or-less platform specific.

Mac font notes --- 1573,1619 ---- didn't.) ! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ! Don Hosek offers the following additional notes: ! The "Times" in most printers is actually a newer version of the font ! than Monotype's "Times New Roman" which it is originally based on. ! Walter Tracy's _Letters of Credit_ gives an excellent history of the ! face which was based on Plantin and in the original cutting has ! metrics matching the original face almost exactly. Another interesting ! note about the face is that it is almost a completely different design ! in the bold: this is due to the fact that old-styles are difficult to ! design as a bold. Incidentally, the classification of Times as a ! transitional is not firm. It likely is placed there by some type ! taxonomists (most notably Alexander Lawson) because of the bold and a ! few minor features. Others, myself included, think of it as a old ! style. The typeface listed in the Adobe catalog as Times Europa was a ! new face commissioned in 1974 to replace the old Times (whose 50th ! birthday was this past October 3rd). ! ! Hermann Zapf is not particularly pleased with any of the ! phototypesetting versions of Optima. As a lead face, Optima is very ! beautiful. His typeface "World", used in the World Book Encyclopedia ! is one recutting for photocomp which improves the font somewhat. He is ! on record as saying that if he had been asked, he would have designed ! a new font for the technology. ! -- END OF PART I -- ! FAQ for comp.fonts: Chapter II: Macintosh-specific Info !
