Guidelines for submitting manuscripts and files for typesetting. These guidelines are essential for authors and editors of extended texts, such as articles, monographs, and books. They explain the simple — and correct — ways to prepare printed copy and electronic files that will ensure the most efficient, most accurate, and least costly production. They deal with text, notes, and illustrations (figures, photographs, drawings, maps, charts, graphs, etc.).

The Guidelines are updated frequently. MetaGlyfix advises all authors and editors to review them every time a manuscript is being prepared for submission.

Line art (print publication) — Tips on transforming your sketches, paste-ups, edited originals, or ideas into polished illustrations such as maps, charts, illustrated tables, any kind of hybrid — indeed, anything that you can imagine and describe — plus guidelines on how to prepare your materials

Technical drawings — Tips for better technical drawings
