Rendering Digital Type: A Historical and Economic View of Technology

R. A. Morris *

Department of Mathematics and Computer Science, The University of Massachusetts at Boston, Boston, MA 02125, USA {dagger}

Received 20 June 1989; revised 12 August 1989

The design and rendering of digital type poses new problems to the type and software designers who must bring the type to fruition. But the stages through which this process is travelling reflect those of previous transitions to new technologies which have accompanied letter rendering since the beginning of written language.

* Supported in part by NSF grant IRI-87-15960 at the University.
