Re: OT: typewriter LaTeX package

Got it to work. Figured out you can change to what ever font you want in the sty file. Lessening the the grayscale variability and some of the other variables with the use of a historical font yields really convincing period style documents. This is absolutely great. Shane On Fri, Feb 16, 2018

Re: OT: typewriter LaTeX package

Cute. Really cute. I did a lot of typing on an old Underwood when I was a kid and it looks very familiar. But IIRC the period and comma looked much heavier (maybe because my (lack of) typing skills at the time). What I also recall is that on a dual-colour typewriter (typically black/red) you

Re: OT: typewriter LaTeX package

As someone who does most of my work in monospaced fonts, the double space at the end of the sentence is essential. Without it you get the "wall of text" with no obvious breaks. What word processors do is of course down to the whims of the (perpetrator) programmer! On 15/02/18 18:04, Hugh S.

If memory serves (touch typist since 1963) it was assumed to be universal. I had a good deal of correspondence with folks across the pond and never thought twice about the double space post-sentence. I think with the advent of first the IBM Selectric and much later the Apple/Postscript

Hi Urs, The documentation and example, one and the same, are nicely convincing. Going to have to see if it can be pushed beyond the intended font. That really made my day. i have been wondering about such a trick for years. regards, Shane On Thu, Feb 15, 2018 at 7:23 AM, Urs Liska
