The ``typewriter'' text is typeset in \emph{Bera Mono}, +%originally developed by Bitstream, Inc. as ``Bitstream Vera''. (Type~1 PostScript fonts were made +%available by Malte Rosenau and +%Ulrich Dirr.) + +%\paragraph{note:} The custom size of the textblock was calculated +%using the directions given by Mr. Bringhurst (pages 26--29 and +%175/176). 10~pt Palatino needs 133.21~pt for the string +%``abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz''. This yields a good line length between +%24--26~pc (288--312~pt). Using a ``\emph{double square textblock}'' +%with a 1:2 ratio this results in a textblock of 312:624~pt (which +%includes the headline in this design). A good alternative would be the +%``\emph{golden section textblock}'' with a ratio of 1:1.62, here +%312:505.44~pt. For comparison, \texttt{DIV9} of the \texttt{typearea} +%package results in a line length of 389~pt (32.4~pc), which is by far +%too long.
