Dave-
For things to do with type, you might start with your Photoshop Manual, and pick
up magazines like EFX Graphics and Design.
For broadcast, pick up Creating Motion Graphics with AE by Trish and
Chris Meyer. The AE 6.0 Total Training Tapes by Brian Maffitt are fantastic.
If you want to actually create fonts, you might hit the tutorial Chank website.
Chank also sells fonts and gives some away as well.

The only thing that I do to prep type for broadcast is apply a tiny bit of fast blur
to prevent edge flicker.
