3 This document was typeset with the
4 .I troff
5 document preparation system on Unix.
6 After having typset my diploma thesis with LaTeX,
7 the choice for troff was similar to prefering MH over mutt.
8 .P
9 I used the troff implementation of the Heirloom doctools,
10 and built upon the
11 .I ms
12 macro package.
13 To meet my personal wishes, I added further macros and replaced
14 clumpsy parts of ms.
15 My own macro code comprises about 400 lines.
16 Unfortunately, I must admit that the troff sources are not perfectly
17 portable as I accessed Heirloom troff extensions and ms internals,
18 occasionally.
19 .P
20 My troff setup was inspired and guided by
21 Dougherty and O'Reilly's
22 .I "UNIX Text Processing
23 and by chapter seven of Bourne's
24 .I "The UNIX System" .
25 The
26 .I "Nroff/Troff User's Manual
27 added definitive answers.

29 The typesetting command line read something like:
30 .VS
31 export TROFFONTS=fonts REFER=bib

36 The text and heading font is Philipp Poll's \fILinux Libertine\fP.
37 The monospace font used for code listings is a TrueType variant of
38 Dimitar Zhekov's \fITerminus\fP font.
39 Both are free typefaces.

41 The page layout of the document was greatly inspired by the German book
42 \fIEinf\[udieresis]hrung in die Automatentheorie,
43 Formale Sprache und Komplexit\[adieresis]tstheorie\fP
44 by Hopcroft and Ullman, Addison-Wesley, 1990.
