Production First Software Encyclopedia of Typography and Electronic Communication : S Typographically speaking, the distinction between calligraphic and script typefaces is that calligraphic typefaces have unconnected letterforms or letterforms which look like they were intended to be unconnected; whereas script typefaces are designed with letterforms that look connected or with a suggestion that they were meant to be. Scripting language text, comprised of individual commands, is placed in a script file, the contents of which are then executed at a later time by the operating system or application. Note that some Latin script IPA phonetic and Cyrillic script letterforms follow a somewhat similar smallcap form, but they are not true smallcaps because they are actually lowercase letterforms and have lowercase letterform stroke thicknesses (usually thinner). ourworld.compuserve.com /homepages/profirst/s.htm

comp.fonts FAQ: General Info (4/6) Script typefaces are based on handwriting; but often this is handwriting with either a flexible steel nib pen, or a broad-edged pen, and is thus unlike modern handwriting. Brushwork can also be the basis for script, as with Present Script (Sallaway, 1974) and Mistral (Excoffon, 1953) Although modern typography typically relegates the italic to a second- class citizenship subordinate to the roman, there are still some italic typefaces designed as such in their own right. Brush typefaces look as if they were drawn with that instrument, which most of them were, at least in the original design from which the metal/film/digital face was created. www.faqs.org /faqs/fonts-faq/part4

Ethiopic editing using Washera is as difficult as typing with it and may involve up to seven keystrokes per character. Yacob had it his way, there will be numerous incompatible versions of Ethiopic or non-Ethiopic characters and sets and the only way to salvage the Ethiopic from the chaos will be to use his Latin method or abandon the Ethiopic. www.ethiopic.com /plag97.htm   (3646 words)

Microsoft Typography - Recommendation for TrueType Outlines of Cursive Script Typefaces Splitting the overlap to both sides of the font does not correctly resolve all situations where rounding is occurring, as each side may round down and cause a column of pixels to not render. Thus, for a cursive English font, the overlap would be on the right side (see Figure 2). An issue with fonts that have connecting characters, like Arabic language fonts, is that an overlap of a minimal size is required. www.microsoft.com /typography/CursiveScriptGuidelines.mspx   (392 words)
