book may prove necessary on occasion.
Anyone wanting to know more about digital type-setting, and about
typography in general, should consult the book Digital Typography
by Richard Rubinstein [Rubinstein88]. This is a very interesting
and well-written book that is saturated with useful references and
gives lots of fascinating ideas.
