DR PETER KAROW AWARD FOR FONT TECHNOLOGY & DIGITAL TYPOGRAPHY

On November 18, the seminal work in the field of Arabic typography by Thomas Milo and his DecoType team was acknowledged with the Dr Peter Karow Award, in presence of Director General Dr Roborgh on behalf of the Dutch Minister Plasterk of Education, Culture and Sciences.

Citation: "Not only served Milo’s typographic research as the fundament for the ACE technology, clearly it also formed a basis for the development of the OpenType format, although this is a less known and acknowledged fact."

The complete event and all preceding lectures were recorded and can now be viewed on the internet:
