     TOPICAL SESSION: Digital Typography & Legibility (APPLIED VISION)

     While the past decade  has  witnessed  an  explosion  in  display
     systems  for image presentation, the typeset word continues to be

     artistic  aspects of using  computers to design and  render fonts
     for hard- and soft-copy display of information.
