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. All of the printed symbols that can - appear in a font are characters. They can also be called glyphs. - - More technically: - (1) The smallest component of written language that has semantic value. Character refers to the abstract idea, rather than a specific shape (see --- 927,930 ---- *************** *** 905,915 **** font - A font is a collection of symbols that have similar characteristics. - The symbols in a font have a fixed typeface, size, weight, style and - symbol set.

Contrast with typeface. - - More technically: - A particular collection of characters of a typeface with unique parameters in the 'Variation vector', a particular instance of values --- 946,949 ---- *************** *** 922,933 **** glyph - A glyph is a more general term for a symbol that can appear in a - font. Usually we refer to individual symbols in a font as characters - (because they are things like ``A'' and ``&''). However, since any - arbitrary smear of ink can occur in a font, a more general term is - sometimes used. - - More technically: - (1) The actual shape (bit pattern, outline) of a character image. For example, an italic 'a' and a roman 'a' are two different glyphs --- 956,959 ---- *************** *** 970,978 **** kerning ! Kerning refers to slight changes in the spacing between characters. ! Some letter combinations (``AV'' and ``To'', for example) appear ! farther apart than others because of the shapes of the individual ! letters. Many sophisticated word processors move these letter ! combinations closer together automatically. outline font/format --- 996,1010 ---- kerning ! (noun): That portion of a letter which extends beyond its width, ! that is, the letter shapes that overhang - the projection of a ! character beyond its sidebearings. ! ! (verb): The function of adjusting the intercharacter spacing in ! character groups (words) to improve their appearance. Some letter ! combinations (``AV'' and ``To'', for example) appear farther apart ! than others because of the shapes of the individual letters. ! ! Many sophisticated word processors move these letter combinations ! closer together automatically. outline font/format *************** *** 1005,1013 **** typeface - A typeface is a collection of symbols with a similar style.

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 !

It's not the best but it works. + Gary <Gocek.Henr801C@Xerox.COM> reports: + + The standard X distribution for X11R5 contains "xfed", which allows you + to play with BDF fonts. "xfedor" has a more elaborate user interface, + and is available on most contrib directories. + + The last time I tried: + + "xfedor" couldn't handle BDF files with more than 256 characters. + + "xfed" aborts if the BDF file contains a COMMENT line with no other + text. The workaround is to edit the BDF file, to put text after the + word COMMENT. A single blank space is sufficient. For some reason, + the standard BDF files included in the X release contain blank spaces + on the otherwise empty COMMENT lines. It was probably easier to add + the space to the COMMENT lines of every BDF file than it was to fix the + lex code for xfed. :-) + - PK - *************** *** 2934,2937 **** --- 3084,3644 ---- -- END OF PART VIII -- + FAQ for comp.fonts: Chapter Appendix A: Vendor List + + Version 1.1.0., Release 30OCT92 + + Welcome to the comp.fonts FAQ.
