Fonts, Typefaces, Glyphs & Sorts Steve Peter Beech Stave Press & TUG This presentation focuses on the general characteristics and usages of typefaces, without specific reference to TeX. I will begin by covering the history of printing technologies and offering an overview of some useful classification schemes for typefaces. I then turn to a practical discussion of selecting the right typeface for the right job, with a nod to using TeX to its fullest.
