Guttenberg's dissertation typeset in ConTeXt
Did anyone on this list know (or did anyone notice yet) that the print version of the much-discussed dissertation by Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg was (allegedly) typeset in ConTeXt? See http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verfassung_und_Verfassungsvertrag._Konstitution... (in section "Äußere Form"). -- Johannes Kuester typoma mailto:jk@typoma.com http://www.typoma.com

From my German colleague: "We should test if he masters ConTeXt. If he doesn't..." Arthur P-S: Whether that particular piece of information is true or not, it will bring some attention to ConTeXt! The ConTeXt community should try and take advantage of that :-) I wonder how the author of the Wikipedia article knows that, though. Presumably, someone got hold of a PDF version of the dissertation?
The dissertation was typeset (for publication) by werksatz • Büro für Typografie und Buchgestaltung. Berlin, and my guess is that they are using ConTeXt. Matthias On Feb 21, 2011, at 12:43 PM, Arthur Reutenauer wrote:

Yep! From http://werksatz.com/framesk.html Wir bieten Ihnen hochwertigen Buchsatz mit dem Satzsystem ConTeXt der niederländischen Firma Pragma ADE. and the next sentence hints that they are probably reading this list. Arthur
The Google Docs version -- https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&pid=explorer&chrome=true&srcid=0BxWgi9nKtBIUNGNmYWM3ZDgtMjUwYy00YjZkLWExZWQtNDY1MDZmMTQ3MGI3&hl=en -- does not look like ConTeXt. But I think this is not the typeset and published version. I suppose by the "Satz:" entry on p. 5, the Wikipedia author guessed that it was typeset in ConTeXt. And yes, it will definitely bring some attention to ConTeXt. When you look at "Links auf diese Seite" (i.e. "What links here"), the article on the dissertation is the first untypical / unexpected link: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spezial:Linkliste/ConTeXt Johannes On 02/21/2011 06:43 PM, Arthur Reutenauer wrote:

The published book is typeset in pdfTeX with ConTeXt MkII, with hz machinery used, resulting in quite nicely balanced lines. Those Google Docs are scanned (watch OCR mistakes!) and use horrible font substitution. Best example: Preface (=Vorwort), page 6, third paragraph, line 7: "den icaipöq (Kairos)" This "icaipöq" was once greek: "καιρός" :o) Steffen

Yeah, we should release a module that scrapes online newspaper sites using luasocket and randomly inserts the content via Context xml processing. In combination with [1] this should make future political candidates dependent on Context to a degree [pun not intended] that would allow us to coerce them into generous public funding for the project … Philipp, who had incredible fun following these developments during the last week [1] http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2008/030558.html

PS: In this matter I wouldn’t even trust the pdf metadata -- could be a fake like the rest.

Good idea, I’ll change the metadata of all of my InDesign works :*) (BTW: Did werksatz enhance \fakethesis to use real text?) Greetlings from Lake Constance! Hraban --- http://www.fiee.net/
