None of Knuth's extensive work on typography seems to be well respected among designers (I'd love to be proven wrong about that).

- taeric 14y agoNot respected, or not known? Edit: I'm seriously asking here, if anyone knows.
- bramstein 14y agoAs mentioned above, Knuth's algorithms are implemented in many professional typesetting and layout applications. I think the people implementing those applications have great respect for Knuth (and Plass.) My impression is that the users of those programs are unfamiliar with the algorithms used, so I think it is the latter.
- taeric 14y agoAwesome, thanks! I foolishly forgot to see if there were siblings to my post. (I try and keep a handle on discussions I'm in with the "threads" link.) So, yeah, apologies for missing those posts.
- _delirium 14y agoInDesign implements a version of Knuth-Plass, so a lot of designers use it, whether they know about it or not.
