Abstract
We present the early development stages of ETAP, a platform for
experimenting with typesetting algorithms. The purpose of this platform is
twofold: while its primary objective is to provide building blocks for
quickly and easily designing and testing new algorithms (or variations on
existing ones), it can also be used as an interactive, real time
demonstrator for many features of digital typography, such as kerning,
hyphenation, or ligaturing.
