  • Chapter 13, Using Fonts with X
    13 Using Fonts With X Most X clients let you specify the font used to display text in the window, in menus and labels, or in other text fields. For example, you can choose the font used for the text in fvwm menus or in xterm windows. This chapter gives you the information you need to be able to do that. It describes what you need to know to select display fonts for use with X client applications. Some of the topics the chapter covers are: The basic characteristics of a font. The font-naming conventions and the logical font description. The use of wildcards and aliases for simplifying font specification The font search path. The use of a font server for accessing fonts resident on other systems on the network. The utilities available for managing fonts. The use of international fonts and character sets. The use of TrueType fonts. Font technology suffers from a tension between what printers want and what display monitors want. For example, printers have enough intelligence built in these days to know how best to handle outline fonts. Sending a printer a bitmap font bypasses this intelligence and generally produces a lower quality printed page. With a monitor, on the other hand, anything more than bitmapped information is wasted. Also, printers produce more attractive print with variable-width fonts. While this is true for monitors as well, the utility of monospaced fonts usually overrides the aesthetic of variable width for most contexts in which we’re looking at text on a monitor. This chapter is primarily concerned with the use of fonts on the screen.

Plastic Gets Sleeved: Shoppers Trim Credit And Retailers Suffer By Evan Clark The consumer credit bubble that helped Americans fill their closets over a prolonged buying spree and propelled unprecedented store openings is finally deflating — and bringing the fashion industry’s prospects down with it. How many chains are ultimately impacted as shoppers once again become savers won’t start to come into focus until after the holiday season. But there is a consensus about one thing: 2009 won’t see any consumer spending sprees, and retailers will have to adjust pricing and inventories accordingly. “By the end of January, we will have many fewer retailers than we do today,” said Charles McMillion, president and chief economist

We reach, inspire, and support millions of people. Day after day. All over the world. Behind everything we do are creative minds: program originators and producers, publishers and journalists, entrepreneurs and technicians. Bertelsmann lives by their efforts and their ideas. Our business wouldn’t be productive without them. In this book, “What’s Your Story – Creativity@Bertelsmann,” some of these women and men, our colleagues, tell their own personal business stories, with specific examples to give you a large sense of our company’s creativity. Their stories span all divisions and facets of Bertelsmann: from en- tertaining or unusual television productions and books that are moving in every sense of the word to a cooking magazine for men only and an award-winning travel app; from visits to football and Olympic stadiums to an interview session on Bryan Ferry’s sofa; from booming mobile services in China to the comprehensive service package put together for an American health insurer. They are but a few of the many examples you will be reading about. They demonstrate just how pronounced and ingrained creativity is at Bertelsmann and the great importance we assign to it. For it is precisely those creative achievements – manifested in content and solutions – that make us sought-after partners.
