This book is a treasure! Friedrich Forssman and Ralf de Jong have accumulated all the typesetter’s knowledge of the centuries and have processed it for everyday needs and access. ”Detailtypografie” is not a textbook [which is usually read cover to cover and then either memorised or forgotten] but a loyal companion for all sorts of typographic situations, a book you have to hand to refer to when needed. A book that answers all questions: From font selection to font editing, from punctuation to record marks, from line break to paragraph, … up to the foreign-language typesetting and to the mathematical formula typesetting. The reference work for all questions about fonts and typesetting!
