Study Notes
Font Compatibility and Editing
- Fonts and characters are not cross-platform compatible and must be mapped using font substitution.
- Fontographer is a specialized graphics editor compatible with Macintosh and Windows platforms, used to develop PostScript, TrueType, and bitmapped fonts.
- It can modify existing typefaces and incorporate PostScript artwork.
Creating Attractive Texts
- Applications for enhancing texts and images include Adobe Photoshop, TypeStyler, COOL 3D, HotTEXT, and TypeCaster.
Multimedia and Hypertext
- Multimedia combines text, graphics, and audio elements into a single presentation.
- Interactive multimedia becomes hypermedia when a structure of linked elements is provided to the user for navigation and interaction.
- Hypermedia structures minimize jagged edges, creating a smoother overall appearance.
Text Elements in Multimedia Presentations
- Text elements used in multimedia include menus for navigation, interactive buttons, fields for reading, HTML documents, symbols, and icons.
- Menus for navigation consist of a text list of topics, allowing users to navigate through content.
- Interactive buttons are clickable objects that execute a command when activated, and can be created from bitmaps and graphics.
- Fields for reading are used for printing documents in portrait or landscape orientation.
Hypertext
- Hypertext is the organized cross-linking of words, images, and other web elements.
- A hypertext system enables users to navigate through text in a non-linear way, using systems that key or index words to other words.
- Hypertext systems and information management programs present electronic text, images, and other elements in a database fashion.
Using Hypertext
- Software robots visit web pages and index entire web sites, making use of proprietary indexing systems.
- Hypertext databases are used for searching and information management, with typical methods including categorical search, word relationship, adjacency search, and proximity search.
