The World Of Fonts. Introduction - Webreference.com An overview of the history of type for a designer, showing the historical principles behind practical use of fonts. February 1998. The World of fonts. http://webreference.com/dlab/9802/
Extractions: Dmitry Kirsanov 's monthly column February 1998 The World of Fonts No other design discipline requires so much learning and training as fontography, and by no other aspect can amateurs be so easily distinguished from professionals. To be font literate, a designer has to study the history and the principles of font design. o far, fonts as a design topic have received only occasional mentions in the Design Lab pages. This is not because I was unaware of their importance; on the contrary, I just didn't feel comfortable with such a huge and complicated topic. Finally, I've pulled together enough material to write a coherent font design introduction, a set of basics which (in my opinion) one should master to be able to use fonts the right way. I hope this article will become a valuable addition to the design course that this column has become. The article is not, of course, nearly as comprehensive as a good textbook on the subject. There are lots of books about the design and use of fonts, probably not much less than about design proper; the field is, so to say, very densely populated because of its practical importance and rich historic traditions. So I feel justified in dropping many of the finer points that you can relatively easily find in other sources. Instead, as it was with

Writing With Elvish Fonts Writing With Elvish fonts. This is a tutorial for some of the fonts and tools that can be used for writing in Tengwar on a Windows PC. Contents. The fonts. ToC http://www.sci.fi/~alboin/tengwartutorial.htm
Extractions: This is a tutorial for some of the fonts and tools that can be used for writing in Tengwar on a Windows PC. Further reading Direct links to some notes in the text: "About installing fonts" "A frequently asked question about TengScribe" "A possible problem with Windows 2000 and XP" [ToC] This tutorial will show how the Tengwar , J.R.R. Tolkien's Elvish letters can be used under Windows. We will use Daniel Smith's Tengwar fonts (and compatible ones). First, we consider the problems of encoding and typing Tengwar, and the support that is available from software tools. After that, examples of using some of the tools are given. The text is primarily targeted for readers with little or no previous experience in using the Tengwar. On the other hand, I will not try to teach how the writing system itself works, only to demonstrate how to input characters. Sources for learning about Tengwar are suggested in the section Further reading Some of the tools that are introduced here can in fact be used without knowing much about the Tengwar, but the user should be aware of their limitations. For most languages, automatic transcription from the Latin alphabet to Tengwar cannot be completely accurate. In particular, Tolkien's methods for writing English in Tengwar are not easy to reproduce by a software tool. The orthographies he invented were often influenced by both the traditional spelling of English and the actual pronunciation, which causes problems when these two do not have a straightforward relationship. The Elvish languages are simpler in this respect, but occasional etymological spellings complicate things.

Unicode Support In Your Browser Test browser and operating system compatibility. Also downloadable Unicode fonts and links to other resources and references. http://home.att.net/~jameskass/
Extractions: Unicode is the World's standard for encoding text. Most all of the characters used in modern writing systems have already been assigned to unique code positions and work is under way to add some fairly exotic modern scripts as well as provide standardized encoding for ancient scripts. If your browser has multilingual capabilities, it probably uses Unicode to address the various letters, characters, and symbols shown on your screen. If you're using Windows 2000, you already have a Unicode-aware system along with special tools, such as the enhanced Character Map, enabling use and display of special character from large fonts like MS Hei, MS Song, GulimChe, or MingLiU. (Beware that W2K Character Map does not offer all of the valid Unicode ranges and thus often can't offer all of the glyphs in a font's repertoire.)
