- Isamu 9y agoThis is awesome! I found the ("suppressed") reconstructed Bell Labs memo here: https://www.cs.princeton.edu/~bwk/202/ https://www.cs.princeton.edu/~bwk/202/
- andrelaszlo 9y agoI'm confused by the Old English font. It looks completely different in the reconstructed document. Compare the capital E for example. From the paper: "Old English, despite being supplied by Linotype for use on the 202, is actually a Monotype font, and hence was not PostScript-converted by Adobe. Nevertheless, it proved to be readily available as a PostScript font from the same FontShop (in Cheltenham UK) that used to supply fonts for the entire Linotron range."
