Adobe User to User Forums: Typography Forums
“A place to talk about type, typography, and typesetting. Help each other identify typefaces. Get suggestions about what typefaces work well together. Offer opinions about spacing, justification, punctuation, and the like. However, for more technical questions about installing fonts, or working with service bureaus, and things like that you might find more help in the ATM/Type forums. Or for questions about how specific applications work with type it might be better to post in the product forums.” You can browse the messages as a guest or you can register to have full access.
