Hello,
I would like to get my feet wet in the technical side of fonts because I feel, as a designer, that there may be some iportant things I might be missing by blindly using the default settings of whichever font editor I use, and because a huge part of newcomers, I feel, don't know how to code their fonts properly and this could give me an edge, not to mention also an exit ticket from support hell for angry customers. I tried to decipher the technical documentation of GPOS tables and similar concepts, but the jargon proved too much for me, and there seem to be many legacy and carry-over issues that are not applicable any more except in rare cases. Is there a hardcover book somewhere on Amazon or a documentation in clear non-geek terms that can get me started, besides the Typography part of the Microsoft website?![:)]( ":)")
