@edsu I jumped on HTML 4 as soon as possible and used to use James Clark’s nsgmls to make sure everything was validated, so I would trip over as few rendering quirks as possible. I also have some #retrocomputing books that will stay with me (some pictured). The ZX Spectrum was my first computer, Foley and Van Dam was comprehensive, writing a #PostScript interpreter on Apollo workstations was my final year project, and I still love the #Z80.

A number of old computing books. “Advanced Graphics with the Sinclair ZX Spectrum,” Leventhal’s and Zaks’s Z80 references, Foley and Van Dam’s “Fundamentals of Interactive Computer Graphics,” and the first edition “PostScript Language Reference Manual.”

you're all idiots

@simontatham trivial !
Write the text to a .ps file on disk, along with a bit of preamble and call the PostScript pathbbox on the string in the ps file, along with some postamble that writes the dimensions to the log. Then spawn a gv subprocess, parse the output (bonus if you use fgets into a fixed size c string).

Mit #Postscript ein #PDF-Formular erstellen.

Mit Postscript können auch in ein bestehendes PDF #Formularfelder eingefügt werden.

Ich finde PDF auch nicht die beste Erfindung. Leider kann man sich von gewissen Dingen nicht entziehen.

Es gibt einfachere Methoden zum Erstellen eines PDF-Formulars. Der Vorteil dieser Methode ist jedoch das genaue Positionieren der Felder auf einem Formular.

For me, it was during a lull in my workload at the #IBM Hursley lab in the UK when I worked my way through the O'Reilly #sed & #awk book (the one with the two lorises on the cover).

I'm guessing it was 1995 because my annual birdwatching summary at the start of the next year switched from a fixed column text document to formatting in #Postscript. My first big awk project was to process the underlying data to generate a PS document (something I also learned in the same downtime period).

Front cover of the O'Reilly programming book for the sed and awk text processing tools. The cover has the title in white on a magenta background and woodcut illustrations of two slender lorises.
Page of my birdwatching notebook. The species list would have been printed at the start of the 1995 and notes on the right represent dates in that year when I saw species in question (others are from earlier years or ones I did not bother specially to note on this page when I saw them that year). This list was generated from another long-lost file that was a (fixed-column) log of significant obserations. From that, I used to generate this summary with columns for each country in which I had watched birds. The first column of letters includes A for species seen in the UK, B for ones seen in the western palaearctic an C for others. The page shows a list of birds from (Green-winged) Teal to Sora with common and scientific names and the country letter columns all in a fixed-width font (Courier?). There are some dates to the right entered using a ballpoint pen.
Page of my birdwatching notebook for 1996. This species list would have been printed at the start of that year. The information content is similar to the year before, but everything is laid out in a grid with a variable width font and stylised X symbols in place of the letters from the year before. This version was created by generating multi-page Postscript from plain text using awk.
