handpress: a simulation of hand-press composition🔗ℹ

A compositor of the hand-press era, simulated: casting off, spelling habit, justification, foul case, imposition, skeleton formes, and stop-press correction. And then the New Bibliography run back over the result, trying to recover from the printed page what the record says actually happened.

Scribble is itself a typesetting system, which makes documenting a typesetting simulation in it a small pleasure.
