Re: Draft v2: London and Reiser's UNIX/32V paper, reconstructed

[Oliver Corff]

Hi Branden,

thank you very much for this effort. One question: the appearance of
your reconstruction is slightly different from the original. Your lines
contain approx. 10% more characters, in result a 10-line paragraph in
the original text is about 9 lines long in the reconstruction. May I
assume that reconstruction of appearance was not your primary objective?
Do we know about the original font metrics? What would be the parameters
to .S in order to create an exact match?

Best regards,

Oliver.
