I have used all of these apps, as well as Indesign's predecessor PageMaker. It's still not optimal, but it is a bit better than the default settings. When I set up a document in Word I will change the main body style to make the inter-character spacing 2~3 points less. Word, particularly, makes inter-character spacing too big and inter-word spacing too little. If you lay out a page of text in Word, and then in LaTeX, with the same page size, font and font size and line length you will see what I mean. Those rules make sure the text is laid out so that it is most readable, with optimal inter-character spacing (kerning), inter-word spacing, hyphenation, line-spacing and paragraph- and page-breaks. They use algorithms the programmers have made up. LaTeX uses typographic rules that have been set up, modified and improved over the last 800 years (history of printing). Am i missing something?Īre you missing something? Yes. Why do we I need Latex if I can do the same with text boxes? In Word or Pages I can insert a text box, type whatever I want, and place it any where I want on the page. Its cool when the linux distro is just pre-configured distro with different visuals like one that looks like MacOS9 or one that looks like Windows 11, but it starts to be not cool when software works here and not there or one will boot but will not be able to work the Wifi and second has Wifi but no bluetooth and the third won't even launch at all. But why do we need 12 light linux distros, and 8 rolling releases, and 20 LTS distros and 7 enterprise Linux? There is a reason why some Linux distros exist like a stable release(Debian), a rolling release(Arch), or a light distro for older and simpler computer (Linux Lite). Wouldn't it be better to work on this instead of creating yet another Arch release or light distro? I mentioned this before, there a Linux called Asahi and its trying to make Linux work on M1 chips and there are like only 3 or 4 people working on it. Add in there, what if all the people working on all these distros would concenterate their efforts in 3 or 4 distros only? imagine how much better and more polished they will be. Imagine showing a regular user one Windows and then this map of Linux distros and ask him to make a choice. This is exactly why I wish the Linux (or FOSS) community work on standardisation than this crazy mess.
