I would like to second this great advice. A somewhat shorter piece of reading is 'Mathematical typography' by Knuth (published in the Bulletin of the AMS but I believe is freely available online). This article outlines the (enormous) scope of the problem (even before multilanguage typography is considered,…
…the early setup of tex might enjoy reading the following Knuth (1979). It's a very engaging read, for something that's technical. (Generally, Knuth is a great writer.) References Knuth, Donald E. “Mathematical Typography.” Bull. Amer. Math. Soc. (N.S.) 1, no. 2 (March 1979): 337–72.
…总能收到反馈说这文章太有意思了。除了内容本身之外，我觉得很大一部分原因在于，光是去听一个思路极其清晰的人平时都在思考些什么，本身就非常吸引人。1. Knuth, Donald E. “Mathematical Typography.” Bull. Amer. Math. Soc. (N.S.) 1, no. 2 (March 1979): 337–72 https://projecteuclid.org:443/euclid.bams/1183544082
…always get a report about how intriguing it is. Beyond the material, I think a big factor is that it's simply intriguing to hear what a clear thinker spends time thinking about. 1.

This looks really awesome. I'm curious, because I haven't seen much work built on top of Knuth and Hobby's "Most Pleasing Curve" as defined by Mathematical Typography [0] and Hobby's follow-up papers [1] [2] [3]. Has anybody investigated these? As far as I know they're just not very convenient to rasterize. [0] http://www.math.lsa.umich.edu/~millerpd/docs/501_Winter13/Kn... [1]…
…然后我开始看出区别了。接着有些看起来就丑了。不过图中间的那个，我越研究就觉得越顺眼。很快，我就彻底被迷住了。1. Knuth, Donald E. “Mathematical Typography.” Bull. Amer. Math. Soc. (N.S.) 1, no. 2 (March 1979): 337–72.
…Then I started to see differences. And then some looked ugly. That one in the middle, though, looked better and better, the more I studied the figure. Pretty soon, I was hooked. 1. Knuth, Donald E. “Mathematical Typography.” Bull. Amer. Math. Soc. (N.S.) 1, no. 2 (March 1979): 337–72.
Knuth 的《Mathematical Typography》（数学排版）也很有意思：http://projecteuclid.org/DPubS?service=UI&version=1.0...
Knuth's Mathematical Typography is interesting too: http://projecteuclid.org/DPubS?service=UI&version=1.0...
我非常赞同这个很棒的建议。篇幅稍短一点的读物是 Knuth 写的《Mathematical Typography》（发表在 AMS 的 Bulletin 上，但我记得网上能免费看到）。这篇文章概述了这个问题的（庞大）范畴（甚至都还没开始考虑多语言排版，…

…早期 TeX 的配置可能会喜欢读读下面这篇 Knuth (1979)。作为一篇技术性文章，读起来非常引人入胜。（总体来说，Knuth 是个极出色的作者。）参考文献：Knuth, Donald E. “Mathematical Typography.” Bull. Amer. Math. Soc. (N.S.) 1, no. 2 (March 1979): 337–72.

这看起来太赞了。我挺好奇的，因为在 Knuth 和 Hobby 于《Mathematical Typography》[0] 中定义的“最令人赏心悦目的曲线”（Most Pleasing Curve）以及 Hobby 后续论文 [1] [2] [3] 的基础上，我好像没见过太多后续的工作。有人研究过这些吗？据我所知，它们只是光栅化（rasterize）起来不太方便。[0] http://www.math.lsa.umich.edu/~millerpd/docs/501_Winter13/Kn... [1]…
