Editing Palatino (section)

====Book Antiqua====
One of the best-known Palatino PostScript clones is "Book Antiqua" (originally by [[Monotype Corporation|Monotype]]), distributed with much [[Microsoft]] software, beginning with [[Microsoft Windows]].<ref>Zapf, Hermann.  ''Alphabet Stories: a chronicle of technical development.'' Linotype: 2007.</ref> It is one of many clone PostScript typefaces distributed by Microsoft and Monotype around this time, including [[Arial]] (similar to [[Helvetica]]), [[Century Gothic]] (ITC Avant Garde) and Bookman Old Style ([[Bookman (typeface)|ITC Bookman]]).<ref name="The Scourge of Arial" /><ref name="Hudson comments" /> Book Antiqua resembles Palatino extremely closely and is almost indistinguishable from the original apart from a few detail differences. ("[[Antiqua (typeface class)|Antiqua]]" is another word for the "[[Roman type|Roman]]" style of typefaces that Palatino is based on, as opposed to [[blackletter]]. The genre, inspired by Italian traditions of handwriting and calligraphy, has been a dominant influence on most typefaces and lettering created in the Western world since the Renaissance.<ref name="Eisenstein2005">{{cite book|first=Elizabeth|last=Eisenstein|author-link=Elizabeth Eisenstein|title=The Printing Revolution in Early Modern Europe|url=https://archive.org/details/printingrevoluti00eise_0|url-access=registration|date=12 September 2005|publisher=Cambridge University Press|isbn=978-0-521-84543-4|pages=[https://archive.org/details/printingrevoluti00eise_0/page/123 123]–163}}</ref>)

In 1993, Zapf resigned from l'Association Typographique Internationale ([[ATypI]]) over what he viewed as its hypocritical attitude toward unauthorized copying by prominent ATypI members (namely [[Monotype Imaging|Monotype]]). In the United States, the abstract design of a typeface is not protected by copyright, and can be imitated freely (unless the typeface is protected by a design patent, which is of much more limited duration and rarely applied for). Copyright protection is available for the representation of a typeface in software (a computer font), and the names of typefaces can be protected by trademark.

Microsoft has since licensed and distributes Linotype's version of Zapf's original design called ''Palatino Linotype'' in all versions of [[Microsoft Windows|Windows]] since [[Windows 2000]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.microsoft.com/typography/fonts/font.aspx?FMID=1937|title=Palatino Linotype – Version 5.01|publisher=Microsoft}}</ref> During the Palatino Linotype development process, Zapf and Linotype requested that Microsoft cease to include Book Antiqua with Office, but Microsoft concluded that this was impossible as too many documents had already been created using it.<ref name="Hudson comments">{{cite web|last1=Hudson |first1=John |title=Comments on Typophile Thread |url=http://typophile.com/node/97065 |website=Typophile|access-date=27 March 2016 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150124093638/http://typophile.com/node/97065 |archive-date=January 24, 2015 }}</ref><ref name="Palatino FAQ Devroye">{{cite web|last1=Devroye|first1=Luc|author-link=Luc Devroye|title=Palatino FAQ|url=http://luc.devroye.org/fonts-25034.html|website=Type Design Information Page|access-date=27 March 2016}}</ref> A custom version of Book Antiqua was created by Monotype as a corporate font for the [[Parliament of the United Kingdom|Parliament]] of the UK.<ref name="Book Antiqua Parliamentary">{{cite web|last1=Castle|first1=Bob|last2=Carpenter|first2=Victoria|title=Book Antiqua Parliamentary (Freedom of Information request)|url=https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/book_antiqua_parliamentary_4|website=[[Whatdotheyknow.com]]|date=6 September 2010 |access-date=27 March 2016}}</ref>
