The Belgian company known as Fontshop has been kind enough to put in writing exactly what every designer needs to know about fonts: Erik Spiekermann’s Type Tips, 
Seven Rules for Better Typography, 
Type Anatomy, 
A Primer of Typographic Terms 
and The Right Font for the Job, 
Type Selection: Beyond the Look of the Letter. This is great stuff you really need to know. Check out the PDF-files right here.
