I'm new to the world of computer typography, and have
had very little luck finding a good book (or articles)
on the basics.  Could someone recommend a book that
covers such things as different types of font formats,
explanations of how to create, modify, and just plain
use various screen and printer fonts--esp. when these
are obtained from the public domain and need to be
MADE to work on one's own system.  I'm sure there are
many questions I'd like answered that I don't even
know enough to ask at this point.  Pointers on where
to learn more would be most appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
