Book description
As someone who works with fonts every day, you need to know
exactly how fonts work in Mac OS X. Long-time Mac author Sharon
Zardetto Aker has the answers you need, explaining where your fonts
reside, why they are there, and what to do about duplication and
long Font menus. Once that’s under control, you’ll
learn things like the ins and outs of different font installation
methods; how to use Font Book to manage, validate, and organize
fonts; ways of dealing with legacy Mac OS 9 fonts; and how to make
the most of character-rich Unicode fonts. And to help with those
maddening font problems, Sharon provides troubleshooting steps and
real-world advice for solving problems fast. If you’ve
experienced seemingly inexplicable trouble with characters
displaying incorrectly, an inability to type a particular
character, fonts missing from Font menus, confusing behavior in
Microsoft or Adobe programs, Font Book crashing, or Character
Palette misbehaving, Real World Mac OS X Fonts has the help you
need.
In this book, you’ll find the answers to questions like
these:
What types of fonts can I use with Mac OS X?
In what order does Mac OS X access fonts from all their possible locations?
How can I figure out what characters are available in a Unicode font?
How can I minimize font-related troubles when sharing documents across platforms?
How do I go about troubleshooting a font problem?
How do I enter special characters?
How do I print font samples?
How do I work with legacy fonts?
