We used Adobe FrameMaker for layout and variety of other Adobe applications for graphics and production, ‘Tyler Curtain drew the cartoons, using pen and ink. We scanned them on a desktop scanner, cleaned them up in Photoshop, and converted them to PostScript artwork with Adobe Streamline. (Streamlines features are now built into Adobe Illustrator.) ‘The body text is Minion Multiple Master, designed by Robert Slimbach. Headings, tables, and illustrations are set in Myriad Multiple Master by Robert Slimbach and Carol Twombly. ‘The “code” font is PMN Caecilia, designed by Peter Matthias Noordzij. We searched in vain for a long time fora fixed-width font that looked similar to Courier but lacked Courier’s many typesetting problems. We finally settled on this proportional font and used tabs to line up columns of output. This approach works pretty well, but Caecilia is missing some of the characters needed for technical typesetting, and its italic version is noticeably slimmer than its roman, The lack of good fonts for this application represents a sizable hole in an otherwise saturated and commodified typelace market. Type designers take note! Our current software has worked well for us, but it’s unlikely that we can continue With it for much longer. Adobe no longer sells or admits the existence of multiple ‘master type, and the features that supported this format have been systematically removed from Adobe applications. Adobe also seems to be signalling the imminent death-by-attrtion of FrameMaker. Unfortunately, no other document production software includes the detailed cross-referencing, indexing, and conditional text fea- tures that are used throughout this book. We'e actively seeking a replacement that offers a credible migration path for FrameMaker users. Fyou know of one, please drop us aline at linux@book.admin.com.
