\centerline{\bf First European Summer School} \centerline{\bf in Digital Typography} \smallskip \noindent This Didot Summer School will be held in Lausanne, Switzerland, on September 23--28th, 1991. The objective of the School is to bring together computer scientists and type designers. Didot, a near acronym for Digitising and Designing of Type, is part of a CEC Comett II program aimed at developing joint training in high technology. Didot's specific aim is to design, implement and evaluate a European curriculum for digital typography. This summer school is intended for font designers, graphic designers, font experts, computer scientists (especially those specialising in graphic tools, design and development), and other assorted scientists, researchers, instructors and teachers. There will be two parallel sessions: one for font designers and one for computer scientists; and a set of courses and lectures common to all participants. The parallel sessions include either lectures on the technical aspects of type (for computer scientists), or a set of practical workshops on computer aided type design, intended for type and graphic designers. The common part includes global instruction, courses on the visual aspects of type and discussions and round tables at the end of each half-day. The Visual Aspects of Type course is to be given by Andr\'e G\"urtler and Christian Mengelt of the AGS School of Design in Basle; Roger Gersch (EPFL) and Jakob Gonczarwski (Typographics Ltd) will present the Technical Aspects of Type and Two Dimensional Graphics course. This course includes sessions on character grid fitting and font formats (e.g.~URW, Adobe Type~1, Truetype). Jacques Andr\'e will lead the workshops on Graphic-Aided Font and Graphic Design Systems: this comprises 5 workshops each of two half days, covering aspects of Fontographer, Letraset Font Studio, Ikarus, Typo, and \PS\ display programs. A number of guest speeches will complete the program. English is the official course language. No translations will be provided. Costs are SFr\,1,600 for the summer school (a student fee of SFr\,700 is available). Hotel accommodation is estimated at up to SFr\,110 per night.
