Summary[edit]

Text formatting: the left column was set with pdfeLateX, the right one with Microsoft Word. Font: Garamond Created by baba66, http://de.wikipedia.org, 2006-03-30 On the left side the following ligatures are used: fi, fl ft, ch (german) normal and italic, ff and ffi.

Note the use of real small caps on the left, while Word uses scaled capital letters.

The spacing of TeX is signnificantly better: I had to delete a few words from the original blind text to prevent Word to use two additional lines of text.

pdfTeX allows the use of "character protrusion", used on the left to achieve a optically straight right border: the hyphens protrude into the margin.

A nice feature specific to eTeX is shown in the last line: The space between "Commodo" and "Consequat" is a little bigger on the left than on the right, because eTeX is able to adjust this by an arbitrary value to the preceeding line.

 

The SVG code is valid.

Licensing[edit]

The depicted text is ineligible for copyright and therefore in the public domain because it is not a “literary work” or other protected type in sense of the local copyright law. Facts, data, and unoriginal information which is common property without sufficiently creative authorship in a general typeface or basic handwriting, and simple geometric shapes are not protected by copyright. This tag does not generally apply to all images of texts. Particular countries can have different legal definition of the “literary work” as the subject of copyright and different courts' interpretation practices. Some countries protect almost every written work, while other countries protect distinctively artistic or scientific texts and databases only. Extent of creativeness, function and length of the text can be relevant. The copyright protection can be limited to the literary form – the included information itself can be excluded from protection.
