Publisher's Note
Donald Knuth's influence in computer science ranges from the invention of literate programming to the development of the TeX programming language. In this second collection of his papers, Knuth explores the relationship between computers and typography. The papers cover topics ranging from mathematical typography, TeX, and MetaFont to virtual fonts. This volume will appeal to computer scientists and typographers alike.

One of the foremost figures in the field of mathematical sciences, Knuth has written papers that are widely referenced and stand as milestones of development over a wide range of topics. In this collection, the second in the series, Knuth explores the relationship between computers and typography. The present volume, in the words of the author, is a legacy to all the work he has done on typography. By his own admission, the present work is one of the most difficult books that he has prepared. This is truly a work that only Knuth himself could have produced.
