  Typesetting - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Typesetting involves the presentation of textual material in an aesthetic form on paper or some other medium.
After centuries of innovation the basic principle of typesetting remains the same: the composition of glyphs into lines to form body matter, headings, captions and other pieces of text to make up a page image, and the printing or transfer of the page image onto paper and other media.
Hand compositing was rendered obsolete by continuous casting or hot-metal typesetting machines such as the Linotype machine and Monotype at the end of the 19th century.

 HistoryBuff.com -- A Capsule History of Typesetting
This machine was much faster than human-hand-set typesetting and required less of a staff for typesetting.
The keyboarding function was separate from the typesetting function and resulted in a punched paper tape or a magnetic tape that contained the text matter and a series of codes describing the type face and style, size, and all other instructions required for typesetting.
Using other systems of typesetting, a lot of time is spent positioning on a layout board the many single columns of text the system produced.

 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.
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.
The symbols on the left were typeset by merely relying on Omega's capabilities; those on the right were typeset by using an enhanced OmegaTP.

 HOW TO PROVIDE A TYPESETTING SERVICE.
Typesetting should be offered as an "add-on" service, best in connection with your own ad sheet.
You may be giving the typesetting for free, based on your ad sheet rates, but it's worth it, as this is a great way to get new ads, as well as new customers.
Offering typesetting will get customers who are new to mail order, as well as seasoned professionals who don't want to bother with doing their own ads.

TeX is the "typesetting system intended for the creation of beautiful books --- and especially for books that contain a lot of mathematics" written by Donald E. Knuth.

 Typesetting Hebrew, Biblical and Modern   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Typesetting of vowels and cantillation marks is very complex and our system is the only one respecting the traditional typographical rules.
We have adapted these fonts to our typesetting system, in particular we have defined for each letter of each font the exact position of the upper and lower vowel placement axis and forbidden zones.
An older type of letters is used for typesetting certain books containing Torah texts (books for training to read from the scroll, without vowels or cantillation marks; for example, for people preparing their bar-mitzvah):

This Web page provides a description of the 54-page document "Typesetting African languages" which I prepared in May 2000, a list of contents, and links by which to download an Acrobat PDF version either in whole or in parts.
On the first two steps, languages can be typeset with existing fonts and software, and can also be sent via email or used on Web pages.
It proved to be very difficult to track down reference sources that identify the character sets required by each language; the best sources were dictionaries and language primers, located on obscure shelves in libraries and bookshops.

History: Typesetting used to be a specialty job, done by a typesetter who used small pieces of lead, brass or wood, each piece with a letter or number on it.
These pieces were assembled in a tray of metal that was adjusted to the line length desired for the job.
There are still appropriate times to use a professional typesetter who has experience in looking at each letter shape, and the balance of the type on the page.
