So how do I learn this whole encoding thing?

My fonts are getting far enough along that I need to start worrying about getting the naming/encodings right as I add stuff. What’s the best way to learn encoding? I’ve heard good stuff about O’Reilly’s Fonts and Encoding but I also know that it’s riddled with errors—are they serious showstoppers that will have me producing screwed-up fonts?

The FLS5 manual has a very good chapter about these issues.

Hi James,

There’s also a bit of terminology over here.

Best,
