The problem is that text-sorting algorithims are greatly
complicated by having multiple characters representing a single
sorting unit. This is a general problem of course (for example,
in Spanish, ch, ll and rr are each treated as single letters so,
e.g., lo comes before llegar in an alphabetized list of Spanish
words, on the other hand, in an American English dictionary, i
and i-with-diaresis would be treated as the same letter for
sorting purposes). The approach of coding diacriticals separately
has both advantages and disadvantages and I don't think that
it's quite the closed book represented here.

I should have made it clear that this is GEM on an ST, not a PC, so I don't
have the FontWare stuff a number of people have suggested (thanks to those
who did!).  Having said that, PC fonts should be fine.  So what I really
want is for someone to say "ftp to site.foo and get file gemfonts.zoo", or

Well, as a beginner's book, _Looking Good In Print_ isn't bad. I
can't say that I agree with the author's tastes all the time, but
he at least gives some good examples. Also there are some nice
_Publish_-style makeovers.

representing type on a CRT display and Rubinstein devotes some
time to expressing characteristics of typography numerically.

good handbook for document design. In a well-organized approach,
White covers the principles for laying out most of the

overeager to embrace sans-serif types and in places his layout

None of them is really adequate for the task and all are highly
centered on the Xerox method for publishing. As a guide to
Xerox' process, it succeeds, but as a manual for general use, it
falls far short. In print.

Carl, I have here a book from URW showing all the fonts on the CD.  The
whole CD looks very good to me.  I was at URW week before last for the
DIDOT Typographic Seminar and they gave us all a copy of that book,
which is also called TypeWorks.  It is a couple of inches thick and is
probably available from URW in this country.

As far as the quality of the fonts goes, there are many of the ITC
fonts in the set since that work goes on at URW there in Hamburg.  Plus,
many of the font developers of the world use the URW system.  Many of 
the fonts in the book/CD are the industry standard ones.  

For each font there are the following versions: Outline, Inline, Relief,
Drop Shadow, and Round.

By the way, there are to be some other things on the CD with the fonts
as well, including a URW utility called Kernus which is very interesting.

I think the Mac CD is available now and the PC version is coming any
day now.  

Hope this helps.

Steve Tischer

There is no better introduction than Fernand Baudin's "Typography and

good primer on the things you need to know before the rest should be

Subject: TT fonts for Hebrew Win 3.1
Date: 15 Sep 92 19:47:38 GMT
Organization: AT&T Engineering Research Center

Microsoft has released in Israel a Hebrew/English version of 
Windows 3.1. It includes about five Hebrew TT fonts (it is
not compatible with ATM.) I would like to port my existing
Hebrew TT fonts to work with this package.

The Hebrew characters are placed in ANSI positions 224 and
up, but there seems to be something else that identifies them 
as "Hebrew" to the system. For example, in Hebrew Windows
Write, there are two font list boxes, one for Roman fonts 
and one for Hebrew, and only the Hebrew TT fonts show up
in the Hebrew listbox.

Another indication that Hebrew fonts are "known" to the system
is in the sample font screen the Hebrew characters come up
in a normal order even though their ANSI positions are not
where the Roman fonts are.

Trying to read the Hebrew fonts in FontMonger is fruitless.
While FontMonger happily shows its percentage graphic while
reading it in, there are no visible letters in the FM
character view window. Win 3.1's Character Map shows the 
characters just where they are supposed to be, along with 
some crude Helv-like Roman characters in their normal
positions.

Is there a bit or something I can set in the TTF or FOT files
to indicate a Hebrew font? Any other ideas on how I can 
take apart the existing Hebrew fonts?

Thanks in advance,

That is a very informative reply, I am sure.

To add what Ivan so arrogantly omitted:

There are two distinct languages spoken in Czecho-Slovakia: Czech and
Slovak. The character sets are slightly different.

And there are certainly fonts for these character sets, however you
have not provided any information on the type of font you are looking
for (PostScript, TrueType, HP Softfont, etc.).

One can usually find ads for various kinds of font suppliers in
desktop publishing magazines, but if you rephrase your request 
specifying the exact language and output device, I am sure someone in
this newsgroup can point you to a supplier.

In my complete lack of information, I would assume that what the GNU
project is doing is scanning fonts *** not covered by copyright ***
and converting them into outline form.

Copyrights aren't forever, and there are plenty of fonts that were
created over 75 years ago. Just check the Dover book catalog - they'll

Actually, Unicode is a 16-bit standard, and explicitly NOT a 2-octet
standard, specifically to avoid byteswapping problems. And I have to say,
as a former Xeroid who actually wrote part of the multilingual text
system, that XCCS (the Xerox Character Coding Standard) was a pain in
the patooties as far as actual use. There were times when you had to
back up a fair distance in your string to find out how the heck to
interpret what the codes meant. I seem to recall a fateful car ride one
day back in '87 with Joe Becker and Lee Collins when we decided that
a *real* character encoding would be uniformly 16-bit, since computers
were growing up and memory wasn't as dear as it used to be in the days
of $300 for 16K for your Apple II...

Does anyone have a good explanation why Microsoft's truetype font spec
forbids fonts that don't use the Windows ANSI encoding from using more
than 233 glyphs? The spec says that regardless of the encoding vector,
if it's a non-ANSI encoding, the first glyph will be put at 0x20 and
only 233 glyphs will be permitted.

Also, contrary to what people have been saying about UNICODE encoding
characters, not glyphs, the TrueType spec seems to require a UNICODE
code for each glyph. Comments?

The TypeWorks CD contains only 500 basic fonts (plus the outline-,
inline-, relief-, shadow- and round-version of each font). The
quality is very good. URW is in the prepress-market well known
for there typo-software and tools (e.g. IKARUS). They also works
together with Linothype-Hell, Berthold, Adobe, ITC, Monotype and others.
I think, $2400 is a good price for 500 fonts and a NEC-CDR_37_Player.

I have read several references to design patents in association with
typefaces (Bigelow and Holmes's Lucida Bright family comes to mind)
but I do not know what this really means. Could someone who is
conversant with the concept explain to us legal ignoramuses what a
design patent protects, how it differs from a copyright, and how this
protection would apply in the case of someone designing a similar
typeface by nontrivial means (i.e., designing from scratch---rather
than digitizing and fitting splines---a font that is recognizably
similar but not identical)?
