Sobre

The PC is not a Typewriter by Robin Williams (1992) is a classic desktop publishing guide that covers 72 nodes across typography, spacing, punctuation, and alignment. This mind map template summarizes key rules like 'Use serif for body text' for greater readability, 'Never use all caps in body text', and 'One space after period' for proportional fonts. It contrasts outdated typewriter habits (mono-space, mono-weight, mono-size) with modern typography best practices, making it a concise reference for anyone doing desktop publishing on a computer.
