  1. Computers and Typesetting

    Computers and Typesetting is a 5 volume set of books by Donald Knuth published 1986 describing the TeX and METAFONT Metafont systems for digital typography . Knuth s computers and typesetting project was the result of his frustration with the lack of decent software for the typesetting of mathematical and technical documents. The result of this project include TeX for typesetting, Metafont for typeface font construction and the Computer Modern typefaces that are the default fonts used by TeX. In the series of 5 books Knuth not only describes the TeX and Metafont languages volumes A and C , he also describes and documents the source code in the WEB programming language of the TeX and Metafont interpreters volumes B and D , and the source code for the Computer Modern fonts used by TeX volume E . The book set stands as a tour de force demonstration of literate programming . The books are loved by mathematician s and other users of TeX. They may be less well known to computer scientist s and programmer s, as the TeX project was an 8 year diversion to Knuth s multi volume The Art of Computer Programming . The books themselves were typeset in the Computer Modern Roman typeface using TeX thus, in Knuth s words, they belong to the class of sets of books that describe precisely their own appearance. Volumes The five volumes are published by Addison Wesley. Volume A The TeXbook. Describes the TeX typesetting language . It is by far the most common and available of the set, as the TeX interpreter is widely used for typesetting.

When using justification, it is customary to treat the last line of a paragraph separately by left or right aligning it, depending on the language direction. Lines in which the spaces have been stretched beyond their normal width are called loose lines , while those whose spaces have been compressed are called tight lines .

Diatype The Diatype was a relatively small desktop sized headline setting device i.e. not intended for continuous Justification typesetting justified text , based on a glass disc font master. Character selection was by means of a trigger mounted on the front of the machine giving rise to the colloquial naming of the machine as the duck shooter in the UK at least .

  1. New Typesetting System

    Context date October 2009 The New Typesetting System NTS is a reimplementation of the typesetting system TeX in Java . The specific aims of the project were to continue the tradition of Donald Knuth s TeX by providing a first class typesetting software which is both portable and available free of charge. But whereas TeX is now frozen due to maximum stability, NTS was intended to remain flexible and extensible. NTS is written in Java. It is alpha software released in 2000 and it is capable of generating Device independent file format DVI . History The NTS project was inaugurated under the auspices of Dante e.V. Deutschsprachige Anwendervereinigung TeX in 1992. Coding began in 1998, following donations totalling 30 000 DM, and was funded through to completion. Joachim Lammarsch, Rainer Sch pf, Joachim Schrod, Bernd Raichle, Karel Skoup , Ji Zlatu ka, Philip Taylor, Peter Breitenlohner, Friedhelm Sowa and Hans Hagen , amongst others, have all been involved in this project, though not all were involved at the outset, and not all remained involved through to its completion. The objective of the project was to re implement TeX in a 100 compatible way. The final product of the project is trip test compatible, and demonstrates that a re implementation is feasible. However, for several reasons it was decided not to pursue the project any further. First of all, NTS is too slow to be used for production purposes, which does not motivate users to switch to this engine. Furthermore, the by then standard extensions such as e TeX were not included in the code. Also, in order to be useful today, Portable Document Format PDF output as well as pdfTeX specific extensions need to be implemented. Finally, by being 100 compatible with TeX, the sub processes of NTS are rather interwoven due to the nature of traditional TeX , which thereby makes the task of adding extensions less simple than ...

  1. Hot metal typesetting

    nofootnotes date October 2006 History of printing In printing and typography , hot metal typesetting also called mechanical typesetting , hot lead typesetting , hot metal , and hot type refers to 19th century technologies for typesetting text in letterpress printing . This method injects molten type metal into a Molding process mold that has the shape of one or more glyph s. The resulting sort typesetting sort s and slug typesetting slug s are later used to press ink onto paper. Types of typesetting Two different approaches to mechanising typesetting were independently developed in the late 19th century. One, known as the Monotype Corporation Monotype composition caster system, produced texts with the aid of perforated paper ribbons, all characters are cast separate. These machines could produce texts also in large composition up to 36 point. The Super caster, was another machine produced by Monotype, designed to produce single type, up to 72 point. The other approach was to cast complete lines as one slug, usually comprising a whole line of text. Of this system there have been at least 5 different enterprises Linotype machine Linotype , Intertype Corporation the Typograph , produced in Germany The Monoline, a very basic machine All these machines were operated by non qwerty keyboards ... some time to clean up and interrupted the flow of typesetting.
