The listings are 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.) + +The typographic style was inspired by \cauthor{bringhurst:2002}'s genius as +presented in \emph{The Elements of Typographic Style} +\citep{bringhurst:2002}. It is available for \LaTeX\ via \textsmaller{CTAN} as +``\href{http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/classicthesis/}% +{\texttt{classicthesis}}''. + +\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. However, this information will only be of interest for +hardcore pseudo-typographers like me.% + +To make your own calculations, use the following commands and look up +the corresponding lengths in the book: +\begin{verbatim} + \settowidth{\abcd}{abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz} + \the\abcd\ % prints the value of the length +\end{verbatim} +Please see the file \texttt{classicthesis.sty} for some precalculated +values for Palatino and Minion. + +% \settowidth{\abcd}{abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz} +% \the\abcd\ % prints the value of the length + + +\bigskip + +\noindent\finalVersionString + + + |
