You're reading or writing text on a computer? Then you're dealing with fonts and typography. We'll have a look at what different font formats are capable of and how font rendering works. Join us on this trip from American Typewriter to Zapf Dingbats.
Typography affects how we perceive content and let's us recognize brands. It gives your text character. Some writing systems flow from left to right and top to bottom, while others do not. These differences are the origin of many complexities that font rendering has to deal with.
We'll cover typographic technical terms and how to use fonts to enhance your documents. While peeking at the technology behind all this, expect some inspiration for IT-security minded people.
