Abstract
This paper examines the link between knowledge representation and new technologies, and the integration of new signs into typography. Knowledge representation evolves with the evolution of technology. Text manipulation strategies, multimedia, mobile telephones and SMS are not just witnesses to this evolution; they also show the large number of users and the needs that they generate. With respect to typography, we cannot ignore the “new signs” that appear in our daily lives. Each technological revolution provokes new behaviors. Just as printing influenced typographical signs and reading, the new technologies provoke changes in the same field. These innovations have given birth to new methods of knowledge representation. Moving from print to the cathode ray tube (from paper to screen), from reading on paper to reading on screen—these have instilled a need to create new signs or adapt existing ones.
