Macrakis, Michael S. (editor) GREEK LETTERS: FROM TABLETS TO PIXELS New Castle Oak Knoll Press 1997. ISBN:1884718272. First edition. GREEK LETTERS follows the history and development of Greek types and printing: their role in the history of the printed word and civilization, the urgent need for quality modern fonts and the challenges faced by the current and future realm of Greek type design. These challenges inspired the Greek Font Society, formed in 1992, to promote and design quality Greek fonts for printing and use on the computer screen. These issues also spurred the Society to gather some of the most respected professionals, designers and scholars at the first International Symposium on the Contributions of the Greek Alphabet. Noted figures, including Hermann Zapf, Matthew Carter, Nicolas Barker and John A. Lane, from the fields of typography, history, book history, art, economics, technology and policy in Greece, Europe and America came to the Symposium to present papers on these issues, now contained in GREEK LETTERS. This work, profusely illustrated, not only addresses the Hellenist scholar, but also the modern writer, typographer, historian, graphic designer, printer, publisher and computer specialist.
