The article attempts the technical determination of the graphic and phonetic variance acknowledged in the Polish edition of the Żywoty filozofów by Mikuláš Konáč. The method used was to analyze the distribution of oppositional graphic forms. It has been determined that the technical nature of the print is 9 variants: 4 graphic variants („j” = /j/ in position before consonant, „j” = /j/ in the voice-over position, „u” = /v/ i /v/ in the midpoint position, „th” = /t/) and 5 phonetic variants (miesce, miejsce, miejstce; wszystko; wieliki); among them are both regressive and progressive forms. The analysis also shows that, using the disclosed technical variants, zecer manipulated the graphical content of the lines in both possible ways: narrowing or widening.
The paper considers the use of the Global Regular Expression Print tool in the Adobe InDesign application. The paper shows the results of the research on the utilisation of this tool in editors’ work. It presents examples of common mistakes which can be automatically corrected using the Find/ Change tool with the GREP function. The paper also indicates threats connected with making new mistakes when the tool is used without extreme care or in a wrong order. The conclusion is that the GREP tool cannot be used without human supervision as languages are too complicated and not all situations can be predicted.
The article presents evidence of the use of variant forms albo // abo for typesetting purposes. To demonstrate this, the illustration material was used originating from five 16th-century prints in verse in which the form abo or albo appears only in long verses, brought to the right margin – which proves that the form was utilized because of its graphical and not linguistic features.
