How long is a book?

Skilled Workman Posted on April 27, 2011 by David BergslandApril 27, 2011

I’ll bet you never thought about it. But there are certainly answers that you need to know. This posting was triggered by a post from Sue Collier this morning which stated the following: “What length constitutes a book? It varies widely depending on who you ask. The U.S. Postal Service says you must have at least eight pages to qualify. International postal standards dictate that forty-nine pages is the magic number, not counting the cover. Anything under … Continue reading →

A major new release at Hackberry Font Foundry

Skilled Workman Posted on July 6, 2010 by David BergslandJuly 6, 2010

Announcing this all over You may have seen this already, but it is a major piece of work and probably my most mature and sophisticated set of font designs yet. I finally broke down and spaced them for body copy—so they will work well at text sizes [from 9-point to 12-point] without the need to fiddle with the spacing. The design is a contemporary take on oldstyle serif typefaces using Jenson as the mask. The roots of … Continue reading →

PDF to ePub conversions

Skilled Workman Posted on July 3, 2010 by David BergslandJuly 3, 2010

No, this is not a step by step. It’s a discussion of the realities of dealing with publishing in the second decade of the 21st century. Specifically, I want to talk about dealing with graphically intensive books in multiple channels. One of the Linked-In groups I’m in has been debating the role of XML in “future-proofing” documents. They are mainly coming from employment at large publishing houses with hundreds or thousands of legacy books—many from before the … Continue reading →

Silly me! Found a new shortcut in FontLab

Skilled Workman Posted on June 7, 2010 by David BergslandJune 7, 2010

It really helps production efficiency and speed. Great find! Command+Arrow Key on selected pieces moves 100 units This shows my ignorance of things like this, but I just discovered a great shortcut built into FontLab. As I have mentioned many times, moving selections right or left is a constant thing—especially while building composite glyphs and letterspacing a new font. One of my irritations over the years has been the internal debate over whether it is more efficient … Continue reading →

I need help..

Skilled Workman Posted on May 29, 2010 by David BergslandMay 29, 2010

I have just added two minisites to the Radiqx site. There is a section now on Practical Prophecy without speculation. There is also a new section of the Practical Practice of Walking in the Spirit. They need to be proofed. If you have time to read the pages in the sections and sent me any typos, I would greatly appreciate it. Also, if there is anything you want me to write about, just let me know.

The book is available through Lulu now—Amazon and the rest are coming soon. This revision includes the new features for CS5 that apply to formatting with styles. Again, most of the revisions are geared toward making InDesign work smoother and more efficiently in your workflow. I’ve been surprised, as always, by how quickly I’ve become addicted to the new version. It’s a really strong upgrade again. New in CS5 Simplified object selection and editingDo almost everything with … Continue reading →

Making an essential anchored object style

Skilled Workman Posted on October 21, 2009 by David BergslandOctober 21, 2009

Adding anchored objects can be a little tedious. One of the most painful aspects of making anchored frames to hold illustrations, sidebar notes, or headlines is the tediousness of the repetitive filling out of the anchored object dialog box. The simple solution is to make those settings in an object style. Then all you do is place the object as an inline graphic and hit the shortcut to convert it to an anchored object and to offset it where you need it. Or … Continue reading →
