Computer-aided typesetting with a CRT

M. S. Goldman *

School of Architecture, University of Cambridge, Cambridge, UK

An experimental program written for a computer-aided typesetting project provides scope editing facilities as well as typesetting functions. The configuration used was a PDP/7 and 340 Display. The program accepts text from paper tape, and arranges the characters into a page of justified lines which is displayed on the CRT. The user is allowed to edit the text on the display with a light pen and commands from an on-line console. The text is always maintained in justified lines and can be punched onto paper tape at any time. The characters on the display can appear in upper and lower case roman and italic in two sizes. The processing of footnotes has been allowed for.

Received January 1969.
