\pagestyle{empty} \hfill \vfill \pdfbookmark[0]{Colophon}{colophon} \section*{Colophon} This thesis was typeset with \LaTeXe\ using Hermann Zapf's \emph{Palatino} and \emph{Euler} type faces (Type~1 PostScript fonts \emph{URW Palladio L} and \emph{FPL} were used). 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
