Hacker News 上怎么说

  • …工具有很多,比如 @font-face 和 lettering.js,但基本的标点符号和格式排版却没得到足够的重视。虽然是本老书,但我认为每个做 Web 字体排版的人都应该读读罗宾·威廉姆斯(Robin Williams)的《写给大家看的排版书》(The Mac is not a typewriter)[0]。它对现代 Web 排版的指导意义,丝毫不亚于当年对早期桌面出版的意义。[0] http://www.amazon.com/Mac-not-typewriter-Robin-Williams/dp/0...

    …tools to work with, like @font-face and lettering.js, but basic punctuation and formatting don’t get enough love. It’s an oldie, but I think everyone working with web type should read Robin Williams’ The Mac is not a typewriter [0]. It’s just as relevant to modern web type as it was to early desktop publishing.

  • 《写给大家看的排版书》(The Mac is not a typewriter,https://www.amazon.com/Mac-Not-Typewriter-2nd/dp/0201782634)这本书或许能帮他们对版式风格建立一些概念。虽然它有 15 年历史了,面向的是印刷排版,读者对象也是 Mac 用户,但这些并不怎么影响它的价值。…

    The book “the Mac is not a typewriter” (https://www.amazon.com/Mac-Not-Typewriter-2nd/dp/0201782634) may help get them some idea about style. It is 15 years old, targets print, and is aimed at Mac users, but that doesn’t matter that much.…

  • 老而弥坚的好书——罗宾·威廉姆斯(Robyn Williams)的《写给大家看的排版书》(The Mac is not a typewriter)和《Beyond the Mac is not a typewriter》。这两本书并不局限于 Mac,都包含大量关于如何改善设计的范例。如果你平时不太注重设计,读完会相当大开眼界……

    Oldies but goodies - The Mac is not a typewriter and Beyond the Mac is not a typewriter by Robyn Williams. It's not Mac-specific, and both have a lot of examples of how you can improve design. Fairly eye-opening if you're not used to having a design…

  • …先驱。看看他们的思维方式以及他们之间的共同点,很有意思。托马斯·利蒙切利(Thomas Limoncelli)的《系统管理员时间管理》(Time Management for System Administrators)。书很薄,读起来轻松,对我们所有人都有很多实用建议。罗宾·威廉姆斯(Robin Williams)的《写给大家看的排版书》(The Mac Is Not a Typewriter)。非常轻薄。能让你学会连字符(hyphen)、en-dash 和 em-dash 的区别。如果你做产品设计,可能会喜欢慢慢品读苹果最初的人机交互指南(Human Interface Guidelines)。…

    …pioneers. Interesting to see how they think and what they have in common. Time Management for System Administrators by Thomas Limoncelli. Short, easy read with lots of practical advice for all of us. The Mac is Not a Typewriter by Robin Williams. Very slim. Learn the difference between hyphens, en-dashes, and em-dashes. If you do product design you might enjoy a slow musing read through Apple's original Human Interface Guidelines.…

  • …跟我经常讨论的一个人。另一方面(OTOH),我以前很喜欢滥用破折号(em dash),因为 Mac 让规范的排版印刷成为了可能。过去,这往往是一个人读过罗宾·威廉姆斯那本极其有用的《写给大家看的排版书》(The Mac is not a Typewriter)的标志。

    …someone with whom I was having a regular discussion. OTOH, I used to overuse em dashes because the Mac made proper typesetting possible. It used to be the sign that someone had read the very useful The Mac is not a Typewriter by Robin Williams.
