Study Notes
Font Editing and Design Tools
- Fonts and characters are not cross-platform compatible and require font substitution to be mapped to another machine.
- Fontographer is a specialized graphics editor compatible with both Macintosh and Windows platforms.
- It can be used to develop PostScript, TrueType, and bitmapped fonts, as well as modify existing typefaces and incorporate PostScript artwork.
Other Tools for Enhancing Texts and Images
- Applications used to enhance texts and images include Adobe Photoshop, TypeStyler, COOL 3D, HotTEXT, and TypeCaster.
Multimedia and Hypertext
- Multimedia is defined as the combination of 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, making for a smoother overall appearance.
Text Elements in a Multimedia Presentation
- 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 and allow 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 can be printed in portrait or landscape orientations.
Hypertext
- Hypertext is defined as the organized cross-linking of words, images, and other Web elements.
- A hypertext system enables the user to navigate through text in a non-linear way.
- Information management and hypertext programs present electronic text, images, and other elements in a database fashion.
