We can communicate with people all over the world which is incredible. Because of this, understanding language systems is more important than ever but where should we start? This week, Ari and Ben are joined by Radek Sidun, an award-winning type designer, educator, and co-founder of Briefcase Type, an Adobe Fonts foundry partner. He recently published a book on this very topic. In this episode, Radek will show us:
– The importance of language support & diacritics in world languages.
– How to use language support features in InDesign.
– How to access diacritics in InDesign.
– The Manual of Diacritics, a tool to deal with diacritics in Latin-based languages.
– Real-world examples of diacritics gone bad!
