÷ííííííííòòòòòòòòø Heirloom Documentation Tools Tro Demonstration Page Ñ GibbUf R]hhYf / / The tro text processor from the Heirloom Documentation Tools project is a variant of the Unix application written by JcgYd\ F. OggUbbU and Bf]Ub W. KYfb][\Ub. It has been derived from source code provided by the OpenSolaris project. Amongst many enhancements, Heirloom tro provides extended font handling capabilities: ü PostScript Type , TrueType, and OpenType fonts can be used as supplied by their vendor without any need for conversion; tro can access font metrics directly in the AFM, TTF, and OTF files, and the dpost post-processor can embed glyph data into the PostScript output it generates. ü With Type ‘‘expert,’’ TrueType, and OpenType fonts, tro can be configured to transparently replace base characters with extra characters to produce ligatures, as in the words ‘‘eective,’’ ‘‘oce,’’ ‘‘oine,’’ SaU`` CUd]hU`g, or old-style numerals without the need to type escape sequences for individual characters in the document text. The replacement characters need not reside in the same font. ü Pairwise kerning and letter space tracking are supported; the page title provides an example of the former, and the latter is used for the SaU`` CUd]hU`g, and, at a minor rate, to adjust the regular font of this document. Kern pairs can be defined between dierent fonts, and tracking can vary automatically with size. ü Hanging characters can be used to achieve better visual alignment of the margins and to implement hanging punctuation for commas, hyphens, &c. Heirloom tro is free software; its C source code can be obtained at no charge from <http://n-t-ro.github.io/heirloom/doctools.html>. It runs on a wide variety of Unix and Unix-like systems. / / .

The Hanging Package∗
The hanging package∗ Author: Peter Wilson, Herries Press Maintainer: Will Robertson will dot robertson at latex-project dot org 2009/09/02 Abstract The hanging package provides facilities for defining hanging paragraphs and hanging punctuation. Contents 1 Introduction 1 2 The hanging package 2 2.1 Hanging paragraphs . 2 2.2 Hanging punctuation . 2 3 The package code 3 3.1 Hanging paragraphs . 4 3.2 Hanging punctuation . 4 1 Introduction Some authors may wish to use hanging paragraphs in their documents. Normally only the first line of a paragraph is indented. A hanging paragraph is a paragraph like this one where lines other than the first have indentation. Other au- thors might wish to use hanging punctuation. In this style of typesetting punctuation marks that come at either the start or end of a line are typeset outside the normal text block. The hanging package provides facilities for both hanging paragraphs and hang- ing punctuation. This manual is typeset according to the conventions of the LATEX doc- strip utility which enables the automatic extraction of the LATEX macro source files [GMS94]. ∗This file (hanging.dtx) has version number v1.2b, last revised 2009/09/02. 1 Section 2 describes the usage of the package. Commented source code for the package is in Section 3. 2 The hanging package 2.1 Hanging paragraphs The hanging package provides a command for producing a single hanging para- graph and an environment for typesetting a series of hanging paragraphs. \hangpara The command \hangpara{hindenti}{hafternumi} placed at the start of a para- graph will cause it to be typeset as a hanging paragraph.

TYPOGRAPHY 1 Text Mechanics
TYPOGRAPHY 1 text mechanics text MECHANICS TYPOGRAPHY 1 text mechanics The Optics of Spacing Every typeface has a distinct rhythm of strokes and spaces. This relationship between form and counterform defines the optimal spacing of that particular typeface and, therefore, of the overall spacing between words and lines of type, and among paragraphs. Space Space S p a c e TYPOGRAPHY 1 text mechanics Kerning Kerning is an adjustment of the space between two letters. As the characters of the Latin alphabet emerged over time; they were not designed with mechanical or automated spacing in mind. Thus some letter combinations look awkward without special spacing considerations. Gaps occur around letters whose forms angle outward or frame an open space (W, Y, V, T). Spacing Matters TYPOGRAPHY 1 text mechanics Kerning (continued) With metric kerning, a program such as Adobe Illustrator or Adobe InDesign uses values found in a particular fonts kerning table. These values were defined by the type designer when the font was created. The metric kerning setting represents the designers intent for spacing between certain letters within a given font. With optical kerning, a program such as Adobe Illustrator or Adobe InDesign uses an algorithm to calculate the optimal spacing for each pair of consecutive characters. Generally speaking, this setting can produce varied results but can sometimes work well in certain situations.

Typografie Hanging Punctuation
Hans Hagen typograﬁe Ridderstraat 27, 8061GH Hasselt Hanging punctuation [email protected] a pdfTEX microtypographic extension keywords micro typography, margins, kerning, pdfTEX, ConTEXt abstract At the time of this writing, HànThê´ Thành is writing his thesis, wherein he explains in great de- tail two extensions to TEX’s typesetting engine. In this article we will explore marginal kerning, or character protruding. We will demonstrate the effects and introduce the new primitives, as well as explain how to enable this feature in ConTEXt. Introduction When breaking a paragraph into lines, only a few typographic engines consider the para- graph as unit of information and TEX is one of them. Although TEX has a pretty good reputation when it comes to breaking paragraphs, it is no secret that micro--typographic improvements are not easily achieved. After some years of experimenting, as part of his promotion, HànThê´ Thành, the author of pdfTEX, has extended TEX’s core line breaking algorithm with two micro-- typographic features: hz optimization and marginal kerning. As soon as you know that the acronym hz represents the name of a typographer, the name of Hermann Zapf will spring into mind. In the spirit of Gutenberg, he has invented a method for visually improving the grayness of a paragraph by slightly changing the shape of a glyph. A maybe less impressive, but certainly worthwhile second extension to the TEX type- setting engine is marginal kerning, also called protruding. Where hz optimization de- mands additional font resources, and thereby is more complicated to support, protruding can be supported with minimal effort from the user.
