Theadvent ofmultiple master fonts could offer a significantlybetter choice of fonts to users of TEX;however, thereare problems integratingthem with TEX,and thepaper presents a first solution to thoseproblems. Thepaper isderived(byRobinFairbairns)fromanarticlewrittenbyMichelGoossensand Sebastian Rahtzfor the UKTUG magazineBaskervillevolume5,number 3.

  • The Second Wave of Japanese Desktop Publishing
    Volume 30, Number 6 The Seybold Report on Publishing Systems The Second Wave of Japanese Desktop Publishing APANESE DTP ARRIVED just over a decade ago with Apple’s NTX-J PostScript printer and Linotype’s first Japanese J PostScript imagesetter. They came at the right time: The early- ’90s economy was bubbling, companies had money to burn and Japanese DTP took off. It was a young, booming market and it forgave many mistakes that would haunt the industry later. By 1996, the go-go days were gone and they would not come back. By this time, DTP tools (Quark Xpress, Illustrator, Photoshop and, to a smaller extent, PageMaker) had captured nearly 40 per- cent of the production process. For a conservative industry like Japanese publishing, this was phenomenal—until compared to the West. There, in the same amount of time, practically the entire industry converted to DTP production. Japan is still about 40 per- cent and holding. What happened? Three things: the economy, the failure of Western technology to address Japanese issues, and the same old cultural differences Westerners have been running into since Com- modore Perry knocked down the doors in 1853. They just do things differently here. The economic crunch hit the publishing market hard, and it hasn’t really recovered. Consider the book and magazine market: On average, this year’s revenues are down 3.4 percent over last year. Books and magazines 1997 2,637,416 million ¥ 1998 2,541,508 million ¥ 1999 2,460,700 million ¥ 2000 (Jan–June) 1,232,445 million ¥ The advertising industry has been down, but has recently shown signs of recovering: On average, revenues are up 10.4 per- Hiragino.

    Monotype › Blog › Articles Contact Search Menu Part 1: from TrueType GX to Variable Fonts Tom Rickner, veteran type designer, Category: Articles shares his personal role in the Author: Tom Rickner 29. 11. 2016 beginnings of type’s most exciting development in decades. Share this In August of 2016, four unlikely collaborators in the world of type, fonts and font technology stood on a stage at the ATypI conference in Warsaw, Poland. The collaborators were Apple, Microsoft, Adobe and Google. Together they announced the publishing of OpenType 1.8, an update to the now ubiquitous font standard which was originally an amalgam of Apple & Microsoft’s TrueType, and Adobe’s PostScript font formats. The OpenType 1.8 announcement, ATypI, Warsaw, Poland, September 14, 2016 OpenType 1.8 unveils tremendous new powers of control for type designers, typographers and application developers alike, and it will do so on each of the major operating systems. For those of you who remember Adobe’s Multiple Master format, that technology represented a sliver of the capabilities that will be at your disposal within the new OpenType standard. There were numerous reasons that this announcement was unique, and many have written about this news in these past few months. But for me, the announcement was not only the culmination of months of meetings, private discussions and collaboration with industry colleagues, but it was in fact the rebirth of one of my first collaborations in the font software business, some 25 years earlier. During the late 1980’s and early 1990’s I was a member of the TrueType team at Apple, working within the “Blue” system software group that released the revolutionary System 7 for the Macintosh.
