> Many books have been written about desktop publishing, the process

> desktop publishing is a complex subject. Because of the scope of
> these books, few are able to devote more than a chapter to the
> fundamental building-blocks of any publication: typefaces. In
> addition, in their attempts to cover both Macintosh- and IBM PC-

> Macintosh-based typography is a rich enough subject to warrant an
> entire book. After all, it was the Macintosh-LaserWriter combination
> that gave rise to desktop publishing. Ever since the LaserWriter's
> introduction in 1985, developers have been turning out a steady
> stream of Mac typefaces and type-related programs. If you're a Mac-
> based publisher, you need to know not only what typefaces are
> available, but how to use them effectively. You can no longer expect
> to impress people by cranking out a word-processor document on your
> LaserWriter; these days, you have to know the ins and outs of type
> in order to make your creations look professionally published, not
> just "desktop published."
>
> This book provides a centralized source of information on Macintosh
> typefaces, covering everything from the mechanics of installing and
> managing a font collection to tips on choosing faces that work well
> together in a design. In addition to discussing the typefaces
> themselves, the book describes numerous utilities that enable you to
> organize, edit, and even create Macintosh typefaces.
