This book is an extract from a much larger book entitled Designing with LibreOffice. It is intended for those who only want information on choosing and using fonts with LibreOffice, the popular free-licensed office suite. It consists of Chapter 4 and Appendixes C & D in the larger book. Although the first published extract, this book will eventually become the second of five excerpts from the complete book. The excerpts will be: Part 1: Styles and Templates Part 2: Choosing Fonts Part 3: Character and Paragraph Styles Part 4: Page, Frame, and List Styles Part 5: Slide Shows, Diagrams, and Spreadsheets Together, the five smaller books will contain most, but not all the information from the larger book. Any changes are minimal, and made for continuity or changes in structure made necessary by the changes in format.
Getting to grips with the fonts and typefaces is an essential path to successful design, whether your work is online, in print or just for fun.

On a rainy September morning 16-year-old Ailen Bright flees her abusive father by jumping off the Seattle Aurora Bridge. Instead of a true death, in the water she finds several silver-skinned sirens who convert her to one of their own. As a newborn siren she is dead, supernaturally strong, and hungry for her new sustenance--human souls. Ailen refuses to kill...at first. With time she must face the agony that comes with starvation, while being relentlessly pursued by a siren hunter. An enthralling and dark look into the mind and heart of a suicidal teenager, this urban fantasy follows Ailen's struggle to figure out the meaning of life, her confusing feelings for her best friend Hunter, and her desperate battle for her father's love.
Just My Type is not just a font book, but a book of stories. About how Helvetica and Comic Sans took over the world. About why Barack Obama opted for Gotham, while Amy Winehouse found her soul in 30s Art Deco. About the great originators of type, from Baskerville to Zapf, or people like Neville Brody who threw out the rulebook, or Margaret Calvert, who invented the motorway signs that are used from Watford Gap to Abu Dhabi. About the pivotal moment when fonts left the world of Letraset and were loaded onto computers ... and typefaces became something we realised we all have an opinion about. As the Sunday Times review put it, the book is 'a kind of Eats, Shoots and Leaves for letters, revealing the extent to which fonts are not only shaped by but also define the world in which we live.' This edition is available with both black and silver covers.
