Guttenberg's dissertation typeset in ConTeXt

Guttenberg's dissertation typeset in ConTeXt

[Johannes Kuester]

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._Konstitutionelle_Entwicklungsstufen_in_den_USA_und_der_EU
(in section "Äußere Form").

  From my German colleague: "We should test if he masters ConTeXt.  If
he doesn't..."

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.

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:

  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.

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 …

         during the last week

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!

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)
