dbo:abstract
  • Monotype fonts were developed by the Monotype company. This name has been used by three firms. Two of them had their roots in "hot metal" or lead type in the printing industry. They did not adapt when the market changed as computer, offset and photographic systems became dominant. These were: * Lanston Monotype Cooperation in Philadelphia, USA * The Monotype Corporation Limited in Salfords, UK A third firm produces fonts for computer use: * Monotype Imaging Inc. The latter firm is in a sense the successor to the English Monotype factory. It has the rights to the original designs, and later obtained rights to many more designs from other sources. The remains of the production archive and what is left of the machines are at the Type Museum in London, England. There the original matrices can still be accessed and parts of the old machines ordered. The collection itself is the property of the British Science Museum. The survival of the Type Museum is threatened since the building is no longer owned by the Science Museum, is in a very poor state of repair, and the new owner intends other uses for the property.

  • Monotype-lettertypen werden ontwikkeld door de firma Monotype. Deze naam werd door drie verschillende firma's gebruikt: Twee firma's hadden hun wortels in het "hete lood" of "hot metal" (i.e. jargon in de drukindustrie). Zij misten min of meer de boot toen de computer, offset en fotografische systemen de markt gingen beheersen: * Lanston Monotype Machine Compagny in Philadelphia, VS * The Monotype Corporation Limited in Salfords, VK Een derde firma produceert lettertypen voor computergebruik: * Monotype Imaging, Inc. Deze laatste firma is in zekere zin de opvolger van de Engelse Monotype-fabriek. Het heeft de rechten op de ontwerpen overgenomen, en later nog vele ontwerpen meer uit andere bronnen. De resten van het productie-archief en wat er van de machines nog over is, berust bij het: * Type Museum in Londen in Engeland. Nog altijd kunnen daar de originele matrijzen worden gemaakt en onderdelen besteld van de oude machines. De collectie zelf is het eigendom van het Britse Science Museum. Het voortbestaan van het Type Museum wordt bedreigd: het gebouw is geen eigendom meer van het Science Museum, de huisvesting is in zeer slechte staat van onderhoud, en de nieuwe eigenaar wil er luxe appartementen van maken.
