dafont.com Les classifications des polices de caractères Il existe deux grandes classifications de nos caractères d’imprimerie : la première de Francis Thibaudeau, typographe français, en 1921, qui, travaillant pour les fonderies Renault et Marcou et Peignot et Cie, fut amené à réaliser un classement rationnel des caractères fondus par ces dernières. Il les classa selon 4 familles : les « Elzevirs » aux empattements triangulaires, les « Didots » aux empattements fins et droits, les « Egyptiennes » et les « Antiques », en se basant principalement sur la forme des empattements de la lettre. Puis Maximilien Vox, partant de ce catalogue admis par toute la profession, élabora en 1952 une seconde classification, où il divisa les « Elzevirs » en 3 familles : les Humanes, les Garaldes, et les Réales, les « Didots » inspirant les Didones (Bodoni et Didot), les Mécanes (Egyptiennes), et les Linéales (lettres baton), auxquelles il ajouta les Scriptes, les Incises et les Manuaires.

Most pages that are written in any form of English will use a character set called iso-8859-1. This means you’ll be able to use any character that’s in UTF-8 by simply typing it into the document. Markup-related Symbols You’ll probably find the characters >, < and & on your keyboard, but if you’re using them as part of your page’s text you should always encode them as their entity counterparts.

Already, the selling may be done as often online as in a bookstore. But that will change. So what’s needed? Last question first. But e-books present a challenge that printed books do not: the page isn’t fixed and final.
