Take Control books for Leopard help ease the transition

You haven't upgraded to Leopard yet -- what's the rush? -- but your friends and family are nudging you to make the move. Need reassurance, support and a helping hand to make the process easier and free of aggravation? The Take Control crew is there for you, with five ebooks aimed at Leopard upgrades and new users. Starting today you can also order print copies of the ebooks (a strange concept, but perhaps this "paper books" idea will catch on). If you buy the print book online you get the ebook version for free.

There are Take Control titles on upgrading, customizing, users & accounts, file sharing and font management in Leopard, which should be more than enough Leopard goodness for any one mortal reader to bear. All titles are $10 in ebook format except for the font book ($15). If you prefer a physical bookstore and want to pick up a guide to Leopard, check out Maria Langer's Visual Quickstart Guide to Mac OS X 10.5.

I can assure you that fonts in Mac OS X can be WAY more complicated than it might seem. They can live in multiple places, conflict with one another when Apple and Microsoft install different versions of the same font, and that's before we even begin to talk about how to work with all the fancy characters in Unicode fonts.

But yes, if all you ever do with fonts is switch back and forth between Times and Helvetica, you don't need to read Take Control of Fonts in Leopard. If, on the other hand, you actually work with fonts on a daily basis, or run into troubles with font conflicts, font activation, and so on, the book has a lot of useful information.

Thanks for the mention, Michael!
