The papers presented in this book were given at the RIDT 91 conference in Boston. State-of-the-art techniques in digital typography and raster imaging, including curve-fitting, shape manipulation, font design and page-description languages are discussed by some of the most highly regarded international figures. This is an invaluable companion for all those who are interested in, and want to be up to date with, the latest developments in RIDT.
