Alphabet Storties traces Zapf's education in 1930s Germany, to his work on forefront of computer-aided typesetting (1970s), to the triumphant design of a complex calligraphic font-Zapfino (1990). Written as an anecdotal first-person account, the reader is treated to famed German calligrapher and typographer Hermann Zapf's personal recollections of technical breakthroughs. Zapf reveals milestones tracing his education in 1930s Germany, to his work on forefront of computer-aided typesetting in the 1970s, to the tour de force design of a complex calligraphic font-Zapfino in the late '90s. Vivid reproductions of Zapf's calligraphy, production proofs, typographic specimens, and photographs complete the portrait of one of the most prolific designers of our time. After a complete sell-out of the American edition, RIT Press is releasing a second edition of Alphabet Stories: A Chronicle of Technical Developments. This new edition is enhanced by the addition of a letterpress-printed broadside designed by Zapf. The insert was typeset and printed at the RIT Cary Graphic Arts Collection using itscollection of rare metal "Virtuosa" type - Zapf's elegant script face originally released by Stempel Typefounders in 1952. This book is the first Hermann Zapf monograph to be typeset in the new Palatino Nova and Palatino Sans digital typefaces issued by Linotype.

Seit der Erfindung des Buchdruckes wurden Schriften und die Entwicklung der Schriftformen wesentlich von der Technologie gepr{gt. Durch die Einbeziehungvon Computern bei der Herstellung von Gedrucktem wurde es erforderlich, Buchstaben in digitaler Form verf}gbar zu machen. "Dieses Buch wendet sich gleicherma en an die Techniker wie auch an die Schriftanwender in den verschiedenen Bereichen. Es ist mehr als nur ein Instruktionsbuch; denn es ber}hrt eine Reihe neuer Gebiete der digitalen Aufbereitung von Schriften" (aus dem Vorwort von Herrmann Zapf). In seinem Buch zeichnet Peter Karow, der Mitbegr}nder des weltweit gr- ten Software-Hauses f}r digitale Schriften (URW, Hamburg), zun{chst diese rasante Entwicklung der letzten Jahre nach, nicht ohne dabei die wesentlichen Grundlagen derallgemeinen Typografie darzustellen. Er beschreibt den aktuellen Stand der Technik bei der Digitalisierung und Speicherung von Schriften, von der Erzeugung einer Datenbasis }ber Soft-Scanning, bis zur systematischen Speicherung und Codierung der Schriften. Die elektronischen Formate der Schriften (PostScript, TrueType etc.) werden erkl{rt, ihre Eigenschaften diskutiert und die Herstellungsaufw{nde angegeben.
