JEP: Typesetting Native American Languages A modern typesetting tool designed to handle syllabaries should allow users to type the symbols either directly (e.g., using a Unicode editor if the script is supported by the Unicode Standard, or by some editor that supports a special character set), or by using some standard Latin transcription. It is a digital typesetting engine, a computer program that does the work of a typographer, describing the appearance of the printed page (Knuth, 1993). Typesetting Inuktitut with Lambda is more complex than typesetting Cherokee because we actually have one Latin transcription that can produce different output, depending on the orthography that is assumed, and a valid eight-bit codepage. www.press.umich.edu /jep/08-01/syropoulos.html   (2348 words)

interrogation report: Donald E. Knuth, The TeXbook   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22) Dr. Knuth decided that as an expert in computer science, that he should address the problem of using computers to create aesthetically pleasing texts. Instead of looking for a way to improve some existing typesetting system, Dr. Knuth started with the premise of "What kind of markup system would I like to use when writing a document?" In days long before the web, XML, Adobe PageMaker, or Quark XPress, Dr. Knuth created a fully-programmable typesetting markup language. For example, instead of the best-fit, line-by-line approach still used by most word processors and commercial typesetting systems, Dr. Knuth's paragraph algorithm looks for the most aesthetically pleasing solution for the entire paragraph. www.xmission.com /~jeffress/reports/b/B200123.html   (302 words)
