Digital Type Design Guide is a beautiful, full-color book that covers all aspects of type and typography. From the technical to the aesthetic and all points between, Digital Type Design Guide provides thorough explanations of such topics as installing and managing fonts, the differences between TrueType and PostScript, choosing the right typeface for a document, and most importantly, how to set great-looking type in all of your desktop publishing and graphics applications (including step-by-step Photoshop and Illustrator techniques for creating sophisticated type-based images you can use in logos, web graphics, etc.). Whether you’re designing web pages, ads, packaging, newsletters, or résumés, this book will help you make your work look better.

The hybrid companion CD contains 220 professional-quality fonts from SoftMaker/ATF, each available in both PostScript Type 1 and TrueType formats for Macintosh and Windows.

February 2003: I’ve released a new font called CombiNumerals™ Pro. The Pro version lets you create circled numbers of as many digits as you like (the freeware version only lets you create circled numbers between zero and 99). You can even create circled numbers with decimal points and mathematical operators. The Pro version also lets you create circled alphabetic characters.

Three new symbol fonts are included in the package: CombiSymbols, CombiSymbols CD, and CombiSymbols DV. These fonts contain ALL of the compact disc logos, DVD logos, Dolby and DTS logos, sound mode icons, and hundreds of other useful logos and symbols.
